I'm using Vista, basically against my will. It came with my laptop and given the option I'd switch back to XP. I download the 3 beta and encountered so many issues I gave up and switched back to version 2.0.0.12.


I'm certain some of these issues are things I could solve given time and effort, but I think I'll wait until they come out with a non beta version.

I'd be happy to help you through, but if you want to wait, feel free.

I just loaded FF3 and so far, so good.

I will be happier when this gets out of Beta so my add ons will work.

What's "dial up" mean? Is that AOL's Internet on your cell phone?

Being a noob is not related to how long you've been 'online.' It's a description of how knowledgeable (or unknowledgeable, to be more accurate) one is.

I was under the impression that the SBC browser was basically a reskin of IE, although I could be mistaken. In any case, I wouldn't trust AT&T to provide you with a high quality browsing experience. AT&T are net nazis.

You'd probably be better off with FF 2.0.0.12 rather than 3.0b4, since betas are generally more buggy than release versions (hence why they're betas).

Agreed. During my 3.0 experiment I sorely missed forecastfox. I want my weather at a glance, dammit!

It is possible to use your extensions with Firefox 3.0b4 by overriding the compatibility check. You can do it by editing about:config, but it's caveat emptor; most extensions should be fine, but there are no guarantees.

In that case I am a noob. I never much played around on the net because dial up was always so damn so.

I may just have to tryout firefox. Are there lots of plug-ins and stuff? I like lots of gadgets to play with.

I'd use this in a heartbeat however I've fallen quite in love with my NASA theme which unfortunately isn't compatible at the moment. Nothing in the address bar appears when I type in an address. By the looks of things, its all in white text.

I have too many extensions installed to play with the beta, but will give it a try when the final is out long enough. FF will always be on my list with that wonderful Noscript, weather one, and some others.
Of course this is the same person happily using Opera 9.23 still with no plans to upgrade that soon. I just wish that the 'neanderthal' theme from opera 6.x was updated.

Forecastfox is 3.0b4 compatible without tweaking anything. Noscript has a development build that is also compatible.

The red is now in the background. I feel more lemony than red these days.

And get that perscription checked, Ghandi - it's LEMon , not MELon. Although some people have read my username as RedleMon, which sounds rather rasta.

I don't know about anyone else but I am getting killed when I try to go to seeqpod.com. The site itself tells me that I am not running adobe flash with java enabled (I was at the time), and when I try to go the new "Introduce People to a new Genre" thread, Firefox just chokes and kills itself. The embedded seeqpod show up but one will just start to randomly play, no song in particular, it will pause and start again... just for fun.

Hmm. I'm having no issues with SeeqPod or the thread in question, and I don't see any Seeqpod issues listed on either Bugzilla or Mozillazine.

Have you tried starting with a new, clean profile? Perhaps there's a bad extension mucking things up for you or something.

I've been using FF 3 for a couple weeks now and I am VERY pleased with it. It is noticeably faster and seems to hog less memory than FF 2. I also love how it will resume your previous browser session when you start the program... very convenient.

The only extensions I have are IE Tab and Flashgot. Neither I can imagine are messing with it.

Trying it out, that thread works absolutely fine when emulating IE through FF.

It was still having problems with my profile, so I created a new clean one. I then one by one put back my two addons and it worked fine...

Deleted both profiles and made a new fresh one, have it back to normal and it works fine...

That's odd; I'm running Firefox 3 beta on a Vista machine without any problems. I know, it surprised me too!

Problems are back. It occurs after I try to access the seeqpod home page with FF. Worse the webpage still says that I don't have Adobe nor java enabled- wrongo.

If you used an earlier beta, it might be on your Bookmarks Toolbar instead of the Navigation Toolbar. If you have hidden the Navigation Toolbar, then you won't see it.

Just right-click on the navigation toolbar and choose Customize.

(The first thing I do with a new installation is to remove the homepage button.)

Just thought I'd mention that I finally upgraded to Hardy Heron last night (Ubuntu 8.04) and it comes with Firefox 3b5 pre-installed. Fortunately they've sorted out all of my issues, so this is something I am pleased with.

Excellent (but somewhat dry) analysis of Firefox RC1: Firefox 3 RC 1 full review.

Much less dry analysis by Dria; seriously, these are great writeups on the new features and just why they are so cool:
AwesomeBar is awesome
Firefox 3 Bookmarks (My god, it’s full of stars…)
Firefox 3: Color profile support (oh the pretty, pretty colors)
Firefox 3: Site Identification button
Firefox 3: Password management

it´s taking up nowhere near as much VM as ie BUT the HDD is wrking constantly and pulling my system to a near standstill. suggestions? it´s actually runnign WORSE than ie for me at this stage, even if it uses 50mb of memory where ie would use b/w 120mb and 300mb. any suggestions? at this rate i´m going to head back to ie as having my music stop start like in city traffic is driving me mad

Let it run for a couple more hours. It'll probably be done with whatever it is doing soon. (edit) Try Periodic heavy hard disk activity with 3.0 RC1? - MozillaZine Forums for more information; could be your RSS feeds, could be the initial update of the Safebrowsing database.

eh, I went back to 2.0

basically I was running in to an issue with RC1 where some pages would just start turbo reloading/refreshing, like someone was jamming enter over and over

seemed to happen with flash driven sites or sites with flash ads more than anything, so it may be related.

Okay, so I downloaded "The Flash" and I'm not impressed. My 2.0 loaded pages faster and didn't eat 90-100MB of RAM. More like The Bloat.

I've got this really annoying behavior when I click the RSS feeds. It always puts feed://... in front of the feed URL

http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/...t/HomePage.xml
becomes
feed://http//www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml

And to top this off, I can't remove RSS feeds from the feed manager. I delete it, it disappears. I reopen the manager, and it is (null)--- restart the Boid and it is still there but with no properties.
