Firefox 3 is out

Anyone here using the new Firefox 3?

Seems pretty fast and stable. I am just waiting for the "Noia eXtreme" theme to be compatible with Firefox 3.

It has been out for over a week now no? I'm using it and find it much faster and love the memory collector built-in. I see huge speed improvements in gmail especially.

What are you talking about, "Better Gmail 2" add-on?

I picked it up last Tuesday when they got 8,000,000 DLs in one day :)
Also suggest Script Block and AdBlock Plus.

AdBlock, NoScript and MouseGestures rules at Firefox 3 :D need to upgrade my @work-workstation...

one small joke:
a bus station is a place where the bus stops
a train station is a place where the train stops
what the hell is a workstation????

Yeah, I started using the first Firefox 3 betas as soon as I heard about them and haven't turned back to 2 since. Probably only two crashes ever and I was even using nightlies for a few weeks.

I think the new AwesomeBar is very neat, regardless of what everyone else says.

No, the Javascript speed in FF3 is much faster than FF2. Gmail heavily uses JavaScript so just doing anything in Gmail I find is much faster in FF3.

Had it for a week and love it. I use:
Tweak Network Settings / PDF Download by Nitro
Adblock Plus / EXIF Viewer / Netcraft toolbar

Zero problems so far. Very quick.

Aha, I really must get FF3 on my old AMD K6, then--one of my family members uses Gmail on that computer all the time and is driven nuts by how it runs so slowly. :)

No they need to feed the hamster better food :P or turn the hand crank faster :rotfl::rotfl:

:umm: OK, had some problems.

A couple of sites that probably generate with Frontpage or similar - their pages won't run through the W3C validator - bombed Fox with errors. The new error reporting picked right up on it, though, so hopefully will be fixed soon. Version 2 ran the same pages OK. I suspect it's not a widespread occurence.

Take a look at http://the-mk.dyndns.org/mm/ with Firefox 3 AND Internet Explorer 7: empty, but there is source-code that should show something...

Yeah, I wouldn't be very appreciative if the two top browsers refused to render my pages at all. Could someone post a jpg of what the page is supposed to look like, because the title is intriguing.

mk - also broken in IE 6 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.(blah)
FF 2 renders your Mini City Tool perfectly.

I developed it with Firefox 2.x, where it worked fine. I also did a validation of the XHTML-code at http://validator.w3.org - no problem (last time I checked), same thing with the CSS-code (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator)

Since I don't do any MyMiniCity anymore I don't use it (I stopped using it before Firefox 3 got ready for official download...).

Currently I have no idea what causes this and also reported this site to Mozilla as "error-page" (I'm sure there is a better translation but I run FF in German language)

We'll see what happens next Firefox update :D
