FIREFOX 3 TOMORROW

[FireEmblemGuy]

Actually, now I'm just confused. The link I posted is RC3 from my other sources but it's the same link I got from going through Mozilla's Download Day links. This confuses the fuck out of me... Mozilla needs to get their shit together.

Installed and got a BSOD then had to uninstall it and clean the registry then reinstall it and now it works but i can not get the Foxy Tunes addon to work even though it said it had updating it

I got it, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's nice and responsive like earlier Firefox iterations, but the only noticeable changes to me are the bookmark button and updated graphics. The drop down menu in the address bar is kind of annoying. =/

They stole the damn IE7 layout and it's ugly.

Then use the oldbar extension.

Seems like a lot of people are disappointed.

They stole the damn IE7 layout and it's ugly.

Why can't you use a skin, change the layouts/buttons, or just use the older version if you like then...?

If you gotta complain, then you can talk to the creators about it and wait for ANOTHER version/update or use some other browser...

Been using Firefox3 since rc2 I think, glad the final is out. Used to use IE7, but seeing how great noscript and adblock are, I made the switch. Seems like nothing totally different from FF2, which was nice as well. Anyways, the biggest thing, probably only real thing I didn't like was the big back button. For those who just want a simplier layout, and more real estate for web browsing, you can enable small icons, which make the button icons more uniform. Not sure if this has been mentioned, thought I'd just throw that out. Just right click on the bar, hit customize, then small icons.

Actually, IE7 stole Firefox's style. That was a while back. I already had one of the RC versions of 3 so I don't see much difference. However, it's a large improvement over 2 in speed and memory holes. I've got an old computer and notice the speed increase more than others might.

I really don't get it: this was supposed to be an improvement in RAM use, but FF3 is using more than a hundred MB WITHOUT any extensions. This is crazy. I can't even download extensions, because the site has colapsed. This is enough, how on Earth is 100MB less than the usual 40something I was getting with FF2?. If I can find it, I'll get FF2 again... if not, then welcome back, IE7. Or Opera.
