I just downloaded it and it's awesome! They've made over 15,000 improvements in this version and it's really great! Go get it now

*is a Firefox fangirl*

If you click on the "other platforms and languages" they have it for Mac and Linux as well

Downloaded.

Whooa..different kinda.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #2 on:** June 18, 2008, 12:24:49 pm »

I'm not sure I like it. hahaha
I guess I'll get used to it eventually.

laurifer · « **Reply #3 on:** June 18, 2008, 12:37:07 pm »

I love it XD

It's actually really the same for me since I use a different skin than the default one. But I love the add-on PicLens (you should try it sometime!)

It's a bit different...but I like it.

Trumby · « **Reply #5 on:** June 18, 2008, 04:40:14 pm »

I've been using the beta for a few weeks now and love it. PicLens is awesome. I also just got the addon Fast Dial, which puts thumbnail links of 12 different sites on your about:blank (the page that is default when opening a new tab) page. That plus bookmarks toolbar = awesome.

I'm using a bunch of addons. Twitterfox, taboo, piclens, foxmarks, firegestures, fast dial, downthemall, adblock plus.

It's a bit odd... I ended up bookmarking a whole bunch of pages by accident because they moved the freaking Refresh button.

Yeah I tend to overload on addons...but you can never have too many!

Really? It's always in the same spot for me *shrugs*

And it doesn't bug me, since I use keyboard shortcuts anyway

Firefox 3 is pretty hot imo :p

Sugarlat · « **Reply #9 on:** June 18, 2008, 10:21:00 pm »

Sound fun

DancingTofu · « **Reply #10 on:** June 18, 2008, 10:23:18 pm »

Is the 15,000 an actual figure or an exaggeration? I'm downloading it right now because my FF2 is borked (won't DL anything, won't save passwords, I lost the master password, runs slow, doesn't save bookmarks right, etc.)

Also, I like the fact that they display the firefox icon on Windows XP and NOT Vista.

According to their website it's a fact: "Firefox 3 is the fastest, leanest, most powerful browser Mozilla has ever released. With over 15,000 improvements, including the revolutionary smart location bar, malware protection, and extensive under the hood work, Firefox 3 delivers the Web without compromise."

I'm just waiting for it to load pages at the speed of ZOMG, but not be able to display monochromes.

(the internet chronically hates me in the butt)

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #13 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:04:21 am »

I'm almost tempted to go back and downgrade. but you guys seem to love it so much...maybe I should try and get used to it...lol.

What do you not like about it?

DancingTofu · « **Reply #15 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:07:07 am »

Firefox is 1337. This is proof.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #16 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:07:35 am »

lol nice catch

laurifer · « **Reply #17 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:08:44 am »

Whoa! Nice I didn't even notice that!

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #18 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:08:50 am »

I don't like the bar that comes down when I type stuff...I'm so used to typing certain things and getting something else, if that makes sense...
and for some reason I have to keep re entering pw and such but I can probably fix that...

laurifer · « **Reply #19 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:11:30 am »

Ah...I like the bar it's actually my favorite thing about it haha

And yes you can set it to remember passwords. I don't save pw for security reasons, so I'm cool with it.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #20 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:12:06 am »

you like the bar? psh. lol

laurifer · « **Reply #21 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:14:10 am »

Yes haha. I bookmark things a lot so it's a log easier than pressing CTRL+B then typing in keywords.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #22 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:15:12 am »

I mean the list that pops up when you type stuff in the address bar if that makes sense...

DancingTofu · « **Reply #23 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:16:54 am »

I'm actually using Opera right now because I'm too lazy to open FF3 and type in "kumoricon.org".

I just type "k" and it's the first one on my list

DancingTofu · « **Reply #25 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:19:10 am »

It's not on my list yet because I haven't used it yet.

laurifer · « **Reply #26 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:20:09 am »

DancingTofu · « **Reply #27 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:22:41 am »

DancingTofu · « **Reply #29 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:24:03 am »

Tasty?

Spicy?

Tangy?
