So it may take a few days for the feature to learn your habits and become truly useful. In our tests, we noticed that Google Toolbar is relying on its own list of "most visited" sites, which for the new user of version 5.0 will be the most visited since its own installation. Now, perhaps you were intending to type in a URL for some other site in that case, none of the rest of Firefox's functionality changes. With Google Toolbar 5.0 installed in Firefox 3.0.5, the question is answered rather quickly: By default, the New Tab panel will show your most visited Web sites as thumbnails, and you click on a thumbnail to bring up that site. "While it's good to not intimidate with an explosion of information, we can get a much more streamlined workflow - thereby saving huge amounts of aggregate time - by showing something. Even Mozilla Labs' own engineer Aza Raskin isn't thrilled with this behavior: "While clean, it has a 100% probability of not getting you where what you want to be," Raskin wrote last August. In any event, one feature that most folks will agree is altogether impractical is the fact that a newly created tab shows up in Firefox completely blank. Okay, so maybe I'm not being too practical. I need the room for my.most visited sites. But not everyone keeps the "Most Visited" button visible on his Links bar I certainly don't. Mozilla Firefox already keeps track of the Web sites a user visits most often.
