Anyone using Firefox 3 yet? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

**Majk** · 06-17-2008, 01:18 AM

I just downloaded it and it's chocked full of features. It'll take a little while to get used to the new stuff but it's way faster than the old Firefox 2.0

Just checking to see what geeks upgraded like me. It's been in development for 34 months.

I would like to...How did you get FF3? I was under the impression you couldnt download it yet.

EDIT: I just checked the Mozilla page....You can get the beta version for testing and feedback. Not the full version yet...I think I will wait for the full release.

i'll wait till the final version is released, i have little patience for beta testing LOL...

FF3 is great. It is cosmetically almost identical to FF2, but it is noticeably faster in complex web applications like Gmail and such.

It rocks. I've had the mostly full build for a bit and aside from a huge slew of improvements, the engine is simply superfast, particularly in Linux.
Browsing with it in Ubuntu is shocking.
Some plugins won't work.

I've had the beta for several weeks now, no complaints at all. I love the new history/autocomplete that gives the title of the web page as well as the URL, among many other things. I've had no issues with the beta.

Those of you who say you're going to wait for the final release, don't worry, it's today at 1:00 PM EST!

They're actually trying to set a world record for the most downloads in 24 hours, so if you want it, get it today.

I loaded it up about a month ago, but removed it since it crashed about every 10 minutes.

I have been waiting for the GA release, since the feature set was awesome and it has been really reworked nicely.

Gonna be loading it up just as soon as they get it up there.
