Firefox 3.5

**Lolaids** · 07-03-2009, 04:24 PM

Downloaded FF 3.5 a few days ago.

I'm overall pleased with it.

I like the Private Browsing (like IE 8 has), fixing the Gmail "long load-time" bug, and the small speed boost.

Really?? There should not have been any changes....I think.....
I had no changes in my settings, and I have very 'tuned' settings.

Ah, sussed it out now.

One of my add-ons (Tab Mix Plus) wasn't compatible but Firefox 3.5 didn't warn me about it for some reason, although it warned me about others that weren't compatible.

Used MR Tech Toolkit to make it compatible and everything is ok now.

Glad you got it sorted Lynx, so what do you think ? Small improvement or a faster browsing experience ?

Ah guys as I said I'm still playing around but sure looks good .

finally updated my ff to 3.5.

i honestly don't see a difference in speed. the privacy browsing is sumthing i don't need. when @ work i manually clean my browser out with CCleaner. dragging the tabs for the purpose of another window is sumthing i won't use either.

so far, the only new option i like is the built in plug-ins for streaming videos. be4, i had to installed wmp plug-ins and ie tab addon to get certain videos to work with firefox. now, that's not the case. nice option. i'm sure there's more security and other functions i'm unaware of and/or don't use on an everyday basis so if ur a ff user u mite as well update.

currently i'm only using 4 addons and a 3rd party theme.

addons:

1. add block plus
2. forecast fox
3. flagfox
4. no script

i'm sure there's A LOT more i'd prob use, but i just don't care and haven't looked into anymore.

any other addons worth checking out?

Check out NoScript and if you are a web developer, check out FireBug.
