Re: Firefox 3 (World Record Attempt)

Yea, it's suppose to be 3x faster than the old Firefox and have better memory usage. I'm excited but I use the Google Toolbar for my bookmarks so I'm waiting for that to be upgraded before I make the upgrade.

But I'll probably download today anyways just to help out .

Re: Firefox 3 (World Record Attempt)

I have to admit, I am a little excited about the release. Better memory usage is a great thing, so that is a big plus for me plus the 3x speed will be amazing!

Re: Firefox 3 (World Record Attempt)

I think they are having some bandwidth problems, as I have not been able to access the download site in the last 25 minutes.

Re: Firefox 3 (World Record Attempt)

Go to Downloads.com. I could not get in to Mozilla anywhere but there.

http://www.download.com/Mozilla-Fire...dlPid=10852809

This is a prerelease. It will give you a taste.

Re: Firefox 3 (World Record Attempt)

That link gives you Firefox 3 Release Candidate 3 which is a developer preview release of Mozilla's next generation Firefox browse

Re: Firefox 3 (World Record Attempt)

Is that NOT what I just said?

It is 6 days old. It will give you nearly all if not all of ff3's features. Which there are quite a few of.

When the Hurricane subsides, then you can go to Mozilla and get the full ff3 version.

Until then, Mozilla is swamped.

Re: Firefox 3 (World Record Attempt)

I'm using the Firefox 3 Release Candidate 3, developer preview, doesn't seem much different, the back forward button are a little different, I like a "new tab" button like the one on IE 7 (on Vista anyway).

Re: Firefox 3 (World Record Attempt)

It will automatically remember where you where when you close FF and then reopen FF. (FF 2 did this only when the computer was shut down during a browse session)

It has, in the bookmarks toolbar, a "most visited tab".

It is certainly faster.

There is a site name next to the address window.

Let you know more as I find them.


Found more:

A better address history (green downward arrow in address bar) navigation tool.

Quick bookmark edit (yellow star in address window).

FF has always had a new tab button but a bit better. Right click any of your Toolbar Icons........

Have to agree. No World Changing improvements, but enough to warrant the download and use.
