OT: FireFox 3 

Post#1 » by BassMaster » Wed Jun 18, 2008 7:57 am

FireFox 3 is now available and yes I downloaded it, but it does not have the add on's that FireFox 2 had. I guess it is going to take a while for that to happen.
So far not all that impressed by the new browser and I may go back to FireFox 2 until 3 has more bells and whistles.
Check it out and see if you want it.

It's pretty cool.. honestly don't see a huge difference but anything is better than IE.

yea I don't really see that big of a difference from FF2, and it kept some of the add-ons I already had on my computer and they seem to work (ad-block plus namely, which is the one I wanted to keep). But it's still nice.

It seems a good bit more responsive. I like the auto completion on the address bar.

Hopefully the memory issues have been dealt with, that was my biggest beef with the old one.

I hate this new address bar

The way it just brings up anything with the letters you press makes it alot hard to just auto complete

I used to just start typing rea... and it would be right there, now i get a huge list of everything with the string "rea"

Besides that, i dont see much changes from FF2
