Rep Power: 289750 | Firefox 3.0 AVAILABLE NOW Hello all Firefox users that have greatly disappointed by the latest screwed up, slow, annoying, release from Mozilla. I come bearing good news. Firefox 3.0.1 is out, and it rocks. It's fast again like the earlier FF releases and if you have been disappointed as I have for the last year or more in FF this will change your attitude and FF 3.0 is more secure. Download 3.0 today. You can get it at www.getfirefox.com You won't regret this one. much love, zb1 p.s. geeze, this sounds like a commercial Last edited by zbestwun2001; 08-21-2008 at 06:48 AM.. |

Rep Power: 143 | Re: Firefox 3.0 AVAILABLE NOW Yes! And the add-ons are priceless! In fact, I've been told that some Internet sites actually have annoying, flashing ads. But I've never seen any because I added Adblock Plus to my Firefox. I'm so happy. : ) Last edited by Ulalume; 07-26-2008 at 02:16 PM.. |

Rep Power: 80580 | Re: Firefox 3.0 AVAILABLE NOW OK - gonna try it! Been running 2.0.0.7 for a while and loving it, but does seem slow sometimes - I would blame that on my router and reboot - maybe the Firefox browser version shared some of the blame - will find out soon. |

Rep Power: 289750 | Re: Firefox 3.0 AVAILABLE NOW Besides my security applications these 3 add ons for FF are excellent. PicLens--- for viewing .jpg's or YouTube videos.. creates a whole new experience for seeing your pictures. Googlepedia--if there is a Wikipedia page for what you are looking for on Google it is displayed on the right side of the search results. EXCELLENT TOOL. Sitehound- Security app. will alert you if you are going to a URL that is possibly malicious. This is a must have. much love, zb1 Last edited by zbestwun2001; 07-26-2008 at 01:21 PM.. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Firefox 3.0 AVAILABLE NOW I prefer Opera personally. Firefox is alright but the all the plugins are annoying... last time I used it, some of the plugin's didn't work with the upgraded browser. Lame. |

Rep Power: 289750 | Re: Firefox 3.0 AVAILABLE NOW The plug-ins will come. They need to be designed by the users that what makes FF different. It's an open source program. ...don't get me wrong, I love Opera also but I like the mouse gestures that FF has zb1 |

Rep Power: 80580 | Re: Firefox 3.0 AVAILABLE NOW I'm enjoying 3.0.1 Firefox, with my only niggle being I think they have made bookmarks organization less intuitive. |

You can't be serious..... ...I don't think you realize just how big of a memory leak 2.0 had. Check your task manager and look at how much memory it is eating up. While, 3.0 is using about the same amount as any of the other browsers. zb1 | |

Rep Power: 80580 | Re: Firefox 3.0 AVAILABLE NOW Oh, I was well aware of the memory leak in 2.0! I caught on early to that by checking Task Manager, and when Firefox got too big I would close the session and start over. Sometimes it became a runaway process and I had to kill it through the Task Manager. So glad to know that is fixed in 3.0. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Firefox 3.0 AVAILABLE NOW There are options you can do to minimize the memory consumption of 2.0. All that is taken care of and 3.0 has this very ugly way of navigating to pages. Well to each his own, at least we all love Firefox :D |
