Comment on Firefox 7 Live: Download Here

The designer sitting next to me is most excited about this: >* Added support for text-overflow: ellipsis

This one drove me nuts. Many developers were achieving the same result in firefox 3.6 and earlier using an XUL hack - but in FF4, the ability to do that XUL hack was removed for (valid) security reasons - but without addressing the text-overflow: ellipsis issue for which they'd had an open bug tracker entry for about 5 years. There were many complaints about this months before FF4 was released but they went ahead anyway.

i'm pretty excited about that one too. i was just cursing firefox last week for that.
