Firefox Download Day

Recommended Posts

I recently moved to Firefox 3 RC1 (and now RC2) after using IE7 and before that Slimbrowser.

 

I didn't like Firefox 2, i found it incredibly slugish and difficult to use. But 3 has some fantastic features.

I agree with Stefkov.

The new version Opera 9.50 is awesome.

 

No it is not! I've just updated and now the address bar tries to autocomplete my bookmarks. It's annoying.

 

Anyone know how to stop this?

 

Also it looks ugly, + symbol for new tab..ugh. The previous design was so much better.

I pledged to download this, and shall be downloading tonight once i get home. Always preferred Firefox over IE, Opera and Safari for many reasons.

Put opera:config in address bar then go to user prefs and uncheck Auto Dropdown and save button.

You can't download FF3 yet, it is released at 10am PDT (San Francisco time) which is 6pm UK time. Any download you get before then is the RC version.

 

Count down timers

Legend. Cheers dude.

 

Another thing I am hating about new Opera is forums (here and GameFAQs for example) after I post don't update straight away I have to click reload. Even with the setting to redraw instantly.

Lol the site died. Next time they try to break a record, better make sure they can actually do it.

Technically, one download in 24 hours would be classed as a new world record.

I believe a record already exists.

The Windows version is pretty horrific. And that's not even including it's fugly iTunes-like design (or the massive fatal flaw in the browser that makes it vulnerable to attacks)

 

I disagree with that. I installed it on my grandparents PC and I thought it looked better than firefox. Way better than IE at least. The only problem I had with it was that the menu bar was in a different spot than the Mac version. But I think porn mode makes up for that.

Can't get to the link to download Firefox 3, the site must be down or something for downloading it. I'll wait until later and see what happens
