Firefox 3 Release

Steel_Tomb · 06-17-2008, 04:54 AM

Hey guys, I thought FF3 was coming out today? All I can find is the BETA release candidate, not the full public release. Has it been delayed? Or am I just really impatient lol.

Ah, rightio. Cheers, I just downloaded the beta anyway to see what its like, I like what I see! Loading times are pretty much instant performance is vastly increased over FF2 in my opinion. I think you guys will agree its one of, if not the best browsers out there.

I just downloaded FF3. So far I really like it. You can get it off the main page.

Just spent 2 hours trying to download this magnificent piece of software...

... and I say...

It's worth the trouble!

Dowly · 06-17-2008, 02:04 PM

Aye, I like it.

Letum · 06-17-2008, 03:13 PM

I miss a few add-ons from the old fox, but this is much nicer.

Much smoother on my old low-spec PC.
I can scroll down before web pages load now.

It keeps doing tiny white flashes tho. Wich is annoying.

And I've lost my spell check wich explains why I'm spelling wich like this.

Spell check -options advanced general tab-tick the box.

jumpy · 06-17-2008, 03:52 PM

All any of the links I see show either the beta sneek peek release, or the old v2.0.0.14 links. Seems they've not updated the webpages yet to show the correct signage.

I'm in no hurry

JSLTIGER · 06-17-2008, 04:13 PM

Using it and love it...memory use is pretty low...63-100MB.

Officerpuppy · 06-17-2008, 04:21 PM

Blah...I need GTK 2.10 or better and my laptop has GTK 2.8, I'll have to figure out how to upgrade now
