Firefox 3 is out.

BDBohnzie · 06-19-2008, 09:54 AM

I downloaded the new version yesterday afternoon, and I'm not a big fan of the new address bar. So much so, that I got the oldbar plugin. That's my only complaint. All my plugins except 2 had updates for Version 3, so I'm a pretty happy camper.

Adblock Plus is awesome. It pains me to look at stuff in IE laden with ads...

i'm still using 2.x myself. i'll update eventually, but i really don't have any complaints right now.

I'm really loving FF3. By far the best browser I've used to date.

Funny - I love the new address bar. Does oldbar change the functionality (i.e., history+bookmark searching) or just the appearance?

BDBohnzie · 06-20-2008, 09:55 AM

I believe just the appearance. I think that was my problem with the change. FF2, the URLs never moved, so instead of using bookmarks, I used the location bar to hit my favorite sites.

Note that the underlying autocomplete algorithm is the Firefox 3 algorithm, not the Firefox 2 algorithm. oldbar only affects the presentation of the results.

Thanks! Sorry for being too lazy to search...

No worries. Figured if anyone else didn't like the new location bar, they had direct access to oldbar.

The rendering speed is amazing. They really put firefox back into the speed competition.

I just upgraded from Firefox 3.0 to 3.5 and so far it is amazingly fast, IMO...

MTK · 07-02-2009, 09:17 AM

It's definitely fast, I feel like Bill Curtis now

mredskins · 07-02-2009, 09:22 AM

I DL it yesterday but really didn't play with it much. My theme was not compatiable, any suggestions on a cool one?

MTK · 07-02-2009, 09:33 AM

Seems like there isn't any good themes available yet, kind of a bummer there

Like Firefox 3 it's not fully ready for prime-time.
