Firefox 3 Release

Steel_Tomb · 06-17-08, 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.

That's if you can log on, the website seems to go up and down, I finally got in and I THINK I'm downloading the new version for Linux on my laptop but I guess I'll find out soon enough, its going slooooow.

I just realised that FF does not let me download pictures, richtclick and save doe snot work ("...due to your security zone settings"). I have checked, tried and ticked the options under "Extras/Einstellungen" repeatedly now, and I do not get it working. It is not the firewall or another application. I have only two speech packages installed, no more addons.

Anyone having an idea where I have to look and make a setting? the FF online help, keyword "download" mentioned problems, but none of the remedies worked.

Noticed this smiley and I thought this was blasphemous to Firefox?

How did it start, I wonder?:hmm:

NB: Just asking... no harm intended!

Probably from somebody that hated the new predictive url awesomebar in FF3. I hated it until I found the about:config fix for it.

Over the past two days several hours, and most of this morning I was reading their forum, a dedicated readme, and was searching Google to find out how to get download working, but all in vein. The what-to-do's in the dedicated readme from the official FAQ do not do anything, and a forum entry leading towards manually searching almost one dozen integral parts of the browser and manually delete them, also did no good. From the forum I know that I am not the only one having this problem, although a majority does not report it. However, if such a basic function like saving files or images are known to be a problem that they dedicated a special readme to it and demand to manually alter installation files the browser is equipped with by default, when they know all this but since longer time (already present in FF2, if I understood that correctly) don't do anything about it in fixing it, then this does not leave me impressed.

Add to it the increased rate of spamware FF lets through and that manually needs to be scanned and find by severals canners I use.

Must say I never could and still cannot understand the hype about Firefox. Maybe it is more a symptom of the usual anti-Microsoft-mania. I just went back to IE with tight settings, that does what I want it to do without complications, and doesn't keep my scanner so busy. Only the live-typo-checking i will miss - although that worked faulty only, too, and sometimes marked and sometime marked not the same mistake.

Schoolnote 3-4 from me.
