| It's weird, there is still a bunch of 2 stuff up. Just check getfirefox.com or spreadfirefox.com or just firefox.com, or try reloading them without cache, you should find it somehow. |

Not liking it so much this far . . . The history manager is sloppy and too bulky. As mentioned above, I'm not liking the address bar either. Still a memory hog. Hopefully the patches make it better. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

Anyone else think its a little slower? Also, I think I have found a bug with the Foxytunes for FF3. When I go to close Itunes when FF3 is open, my computer almost freezes, Itunes closes, and then reopens.  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/trailgator01 - last.fm |

After upgrading and it running slow I am now an opera user and I must say I'm pretty happy with my change. -------------

For all of you asking about changes it only takes 2 seconds to go to www.mozilla.com and look at the list I've been using the betas for the past few months and enjoy it. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

| I liked the Beta's but the history manager is complete crap. There were just small things that make me stick with Camino (shortcuts, etc) that I'm just really used to. |

Well, I downloaded it last night on my tower and was fairly impressed by it, I just now downloaded it on my laptop and it is pretty amazing. It feels like my internet has been sped up significantly, and that is saying quite a bit for my old laptop.

I found another feature I like, and that is the ability to save tabs that I have opened already when I quit out of firefox. It was kind of a pet peeve before, because if I had a tab opened that I wanted to save fore whatever reason I would have to force quit firefox.

I like it so far. My only complaints are purely cosmetic. I am a pretty hardcore FF user though. I've given Opera a try in Linux, but could never get into it.

I hated the default theme so I got this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/307 - one , makes the screen seem a lot bigger. -------------

I've never liked firefox.
I find IE even easier to use with no extra crap that I never use. I use opera most of the time though. It is glitchy as hell on some sites but speed dial and the abilty to save tabs are great features. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

Just wondering, what "extra crap" does FF have? Also, FF3 can save tabs now.

Really. Firefox is one of the lightest browsers on the market. IE on the other hand is loaded with bloatware... -------------

Just a bunch of things that bloat up the interface.
Never liked firefox because of the interface. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

Hmm. That's strange. The minimalistic interface is the reason I love FF. I mean, it really isn't all that different from any other browser, other than being very customizable. I know you're entitled to personal preference, I just can't see what your real complaint is, I guess.

i love firefox because it lets you make the interface tiny. -------------

My opera interface is even smaller.
Umm... no? Since when? I don't beleive I've ever done that really. Furthermore, since when did you become such an ass? ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

I tweaked Firefox a little just now. Got a new skin, moved my bookmarks toolbar. Running much better now.
