really?

[SBR Lou]

I don't like to use the new FF's until they're rolled out and made the standard, too many bugs.

[bookie]

Here is the "release candidate" which is said to be as bug free as these things get.

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html

If I'm missing something and 3.0 "for real" is available today, please post a link.

[SBR Lou]

If it was the better one, it'd be on the mozilla homepage as the default browser.

[JBC77]

So they never released it. Are we looking at any new/or improved features?

[jjgold]

firefox 3 is not an official version yey

[Tsoprano]

What do we get out of it?

I pledged though.

[Francis Sollozzo]

I got it at work and will download again at home on my computer and laptop.

[Stacocakes]

How is it?Downloaded it but haven't set it up yet because I have to many browsers to close right now and reopen

[bbyhill]

Got it

[bookie]

Taking forever for the page to come up...must be all the record-setters going for it at the same time.

Http/1.1 Service Unavailable

[SBR Lou]

I see it on the default page now, downloading now.

[Immortality]

Haven't had too much chance to use it, but seems not much has changed.

I don't like the new fill in when you start typing in a website. It shows the address and the title of the webpage which I don't need or care for. I don;t need to see the title of the page. Wish it would just start to feill int he rest of the address and that is it. Oh well.

[Shark79]

me too

[SBR Lou]

Taking its sweet time, 15.KB/sec, must be millions downloading at this time. I have a very fast Cable modem too.

That is weird. At work it only took like 10-15 seconds to download.

Yeah it didn't give me a good speed on a 7MB DL at all. Probably should've closed it and then re-downloaded. In any case I'm on it now, looks a bit slimmer so it should be a little faster.

guess u got screwed

[SBR Lou]

Firefox is just so much nicer than IE. I have the Firefox add-on that lets you click a button and instantly convert the page to IE form, and the letters on the posts here don't look as smooth on the eyes.

Thats not even getting into the security upside either.

[Immortality]

guess u got screwed

[Shark79]

mine got to 4.1 and stopped loading

[JBC77]

Does anyone out here still use IE for 95% of their surfing? I open one porn site with IE, don't use it at all anymore, haven't really for years.

Themes don't work yet on FF3. They could have mentioned that.
