I have been using 3.6 for a few days now, on my Windows 7 PC. One thing which struck me as strange with Firefox 3.6, was the lack of Windows 7 specific features such as 'Jump Lists'.

After a bit of searching the Internet I came across an article from CNET. It explained how you can enable Windows 7 specific features via about:config. Its strange their not enabled by default. Enable the following commands:

browser.ctrlTab.previews
browser.allTab.previews (These two commands show you preview windows of your tabs)
browser.taskbar.previews.enable (Windows 7 taskbar preview of tabs)

Tabs shown in Taskbar (click to enlarge)

ctrl + tab OR ctrl + shift + tab (click to enlarge)
