Did you do an upgrade, or a re-install? Maybe there are old > settings clouding the issue? Well, it's not obvious they're drawers, but that's how they function. I'm talking about the top, left corner where you see a red hat (that no longer seems to do anything), and to the right of that the text "Applications", and to the right of that, the text "Actions". When I click on either of these, I get menus similar to what used to spring from the red hat. Fresh install plus yum update -- nothing else. This is the default desktop that it gives me. > No such top-to-side transition was found here- did it this morning. > Thin panel at the top, thin panel on the side. I'm pretty sure it's these text buttons in the panel that cause the super-fat panels on the side. It can't resize the text, so it resizes everything else to match. On a side note, I am told it is possible to revert to the FC2-style main menu where all you have is a red hat that actually does something. But I don't think what we have now by default in FC3 is an improvement at all. > > 3. Firefox > > o I was completely unable to import my saved passwords from > > Mozilla.

I'm not sure about your upgrade path, all I know is I copied my old .mozilla directory into the new installation, started Firefox, chose File->Import, and got... nothing. It's an empty dialog box with a disabled Back button, a Next button that's clickable but doesn't do anything, and a Cancel button (that does what's expected).
