Det. Bart Lasiter Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I have to say, the beta is pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Avery Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Just installed. New look is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I've been following the betas and they're pretty good but I think I'll just wait out for the big release now, since many of my extensions don't work with it and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Yeah, well, if my download Helper works with it, I'm fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpentine Cougar Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Interesting, but I'll wait for the cookies to come out of the oven. Firefox is awesome though; "Take back the Internet" is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Must check if the plugins I use are working in it. WIthout the plugins, firefox is just another browser. Plugins/Addons maketh it rock mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 ^^ They've got Firebug and NoScript but many of them are still missing. The Javascript is noticeably faster. The SWK.com chatbox is very responsive as are the dropdown menus on these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugins/Addons maketh it rock mtfbwya Adblock Plus and ForecastFox Enhanced are working for me, themes are still a bit iffy though. The Javascript is noticeably faster. The SWK.com chatbox is very responsive as are the dropdown menus on these forums. I've noticed that too, tis awesome...though for some reason my FF keeps "updating" back to FF 2.0.12, but I've switched the auto update thing off so hopefully it should stay lolz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corinthian Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'm sticking to my current version until this gets out of beta, personally. It's two different versions of a web browser, it can't possibly be that much different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mur'phon Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Interesting, I'll probably try it when it's done, though for now I'm sticking with Opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 The Javascript is noticeably faster. The SWK.com chatbox is very responsive as are the dropdown menus on these forums.I just tested it there myself-- it was impressive. Though, like astro said, I want to keep my extensions available. My imageshack one isn't working at the moment. Plbbt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's honestly much faster and more responsive, shame that most plugins and themes are still out though, but it's still awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Yeah, I too will wait for the final version. But I'm glad Firefox 3 is an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Adblock Plus, Filterset G, Flashgot, Videodownloader, Unplug and PDF download.. are a must before I switch I saw some vids on youtube of the beta...looks promising enough. IE8 is around the corner too, for all those IE fans. I think IE users are simply so because they have become conditioned by saturation to do so, or dont know/care about what other options there are.

tk102 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I like the way FF3 handles a screenfull of tabs. Arrows appear and you can slide left and right to see them. That is definite perk for this user. (Yes my screen and taskbar is always cluttered both within and without Firefox.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Or you could make your life so much easier by using Tab Mix Plus, which allows you to create rows for all your tabs, eliminating the need to scroll as well as keeping all of your tabs on the screen at the same time.

But that would cut into my viewing real estate. I've been using that add-on along with Firefox Showcase (ooh now available in FF3b4) to help quickly find the tab I've misplaced in my stack.

Corinthian Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 People actually still use IE Astrotoy? I was under the impression that the only thing people did with that was download a web browser that isn't the incarnation of pure suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
