FireFox 3

[NPAX1]

Apparently "Download Day" is today... At 1PM EST, Firefox 3 Final will be released. Anyone waiting for this?

Well, essentially we all are, aren't we :dabs:

What are the main differences between version 2 and version 3?
I do not usually use the firefox. I use the IE 7.
But advise using Firefox?

I won't be updating though. The buttons look awful. I'll wait for someone to make a retro skin.

Hate the skin.

I just noticed this (http://nevil4u.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/firefox-3-skins-for-vista-xp-and-os-x/).

I imagine it will only be a matter of days before a 2.0 skin is released anyhow. I may go ahead and upgrade tomorrow... :idunno:

[amiga500]

I'll update as soon as I can. It keeps getting timed out right now. I'm looking forward to the performance updates.

Ok. Grabbed it. Its good they have on server overload even though thousands are downloading on first day itself.Seems to be nice.No probs with extensions. Almost all i use seem to have already updated.

If you want FF3 to look like FF2, add this skin - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6898

[mr. nails]

[peat moss]

Found a Beta of Fasterfox on Demoniod that really speeds this up . I like the new look . :)

The Ctrl +/- zoom feature has been there for years. :huh:

For me, the best new feature is the "Awesome Bar".

The new Firefox 3 location bar learns as you use it—it’s so highly evolved that we like to call it the “Awesome Bar”. Over time, it adapts to your preferences and offers better fitting matches. Type in a term and the autocomplete function includes possible matching sites from your browsing history, as well as sites you’ve bookmarked and tagged in a drop down. For example, you could enter the tag: “investments” to find “www.fool.com”. Matched terms are highlighted, making the list of results easy to scan.

Is there any problem with https web adress :unsure: after install firefox 3 i cant login https trackers.

Is there any problem with https web adress :unsure: after install firefox 3 i cant login https trackers.

I just tried two of them and they worked fine. What tracker (?) are you trying to access?

[RedRansom]

Ptn

[Skiz]

I'm not a member there so I can't comment directly, but as I said, all of my sites which are bookmarked as "https" are accessible.

By that deduction, I would assume the problem is with the site and not the browser.

[kuracat]

I think I will stay on ff2 for a while..

[mansour]
