6/17/2008 3:08:55 PM

yea... that smart bar is the junk, and the page rendering is BLAZING FAST.

6/17/2008 3:12:34 PM

it won't let me check my work email

I really dislike the smart bar, but only because I look at websites that I probably shouldn't be on

6/17/2008 3:33:16 PM

hahah doh!

6/17/2008 3:35:16 PM

yay for ff3

6/17/2008 3:52:01 PM

need my tab preferences addons to update

6/17/2008 3:58:32 PM

this better save all my settings/ bookmarks from 2.0

6/17/2008 3:58:41 PM

it saved mine....one add-on didn't work though

but oh well

6/17/2008 4:01:09 PM

It does. I like it so far. I think the drop down thing bringing in bookmarks in is weird but workable.

6/17/2008 4:01:32 PM

none of my add-ons work now.

but my helicopter game runs faster

6/17/2008 4:10:05 PM

bump for ppl getting on after dinner

6/17/2008 6:47:45 PM

no adblock available yet though

6/17/2008 6:49:15 PM

^yea there is, I'm using it right now...

try updating from the adblock homepage - not the mozilla servers that are getting slammed.

wow, yeah, the page loading in this new firefox is pretty impressive. Gonna be hard to give up Flock though

6/17/2008 6:57:58 PM

k, got it.


damn this thing is fast.

6/17/2008 7:01:16 PM

i'm using it now. it's intense.

6/17/2008 7:03:45 PM

it is fast. only the realplayer add-on didn't work.

it's weird that I can click and see saved passwords. note to self: keep people off of my computer.

6/17/2008 7:04:41 PM

I hope they get the ppc/smartphone compile out the door in a timely manner. FF1 with all it's memory leaks almost killed my PDA and FF2 never had a decent compile to any mobile device.

6/17/2008 7:12:36 PM

how the fuck do i get it to stop showing my bookmarks in my address bar??

6/17/2008 7:27:44 PM

heh, time to rape the slow as server at work downloading this

6/17/2008 7:41:32 PM

im using ff3 beta 3 and it hasnt updated or anything

6/17/2008 7:42:17 PM

epic win

6/17/2008 7:42:28 PM

shit is fast as hell. if you want all your old extensions to work again just install nightly tester tools and override compatibility. nothing has broken for me yet, and i have it setup back like it was before.

6/17/2008 7:44:07 PM

Awesome, seems to be working great for me. Does this mean we'll soon see a new version of Thunderbird too?

6/17/2008 7:46:02 PM

I've been using Webkit (Safari) for a while because it was fast. I feel like FF3 is faster, but the scrolling i terrible. I'm on a Macbook Pro using the trackpad and the scrolling sucks.

I think I can live with it, I like the new interface and the address bar is pretty cool.

6/17/2008 7:47:35 PM

this is why you should try betas in the future, so when the final release rolls around you will already be use to it

/nerd

6/17/2008 7:49:17 PM

why wont all in one gestures work in ff3 ? guess i have to keep my laptop on 2 :x

6/17/2008 7:52:35 PM

its not ff3, its the author of the plugin thats has to make it fully compatible, there are hacks, to make ff skip the plugin compatibility check.

6/17/2008 8:02:52 PM

It is quick. Not sure how much faster you can make it, though.

6/17/2008 8:04:16 PM

how the fuck do i get it to stop showing my bookmarks in my address bar??

6/17/2008 8:06:10 PM

^ I want to know this also

6/17/2008 8:09:06 PM

OKAY OKAY OKAY







WHERE'S FUCKING ADBLOCK

6/17/2008 8:09:24 PM

ok i take it back, i am not happy with FF3 - is there a way to get the old behavior of the address bar back? i read that you can disable the addressbar lookup thing altogether by setting "browser.urlbar.maxRichResults" to zero, but i don't want to completely get rid of it. i want the old version back where you start typing a URL and it autocompletes it based on what you most commonly used in the past...

6/17/2008 8:09:31 PM

it's really irritating...

6/17/2008 8:09:37 PM

ITS FUCKING FAST. I'M SPEEDING THROUGH THE INTERNETS.

6/17/2008 8:11:25 PM

SLOW DOWN THERE SIR

6/17/2008 8:14:02 PM

also this extension might help some:

6/17/2008 8:14:16 PM

sweet. will it slow down performance?

6/17/2008 8:16:36 PM

what's everyone bitching about? I see no problems with the address bar
