OT: Firefox 3.0 release

[montanabay]

Have you guys installed it yet? I'm really impressed with how much faster it is than 2.0, especially on RC, very zippy.

Happy Surfing!

Yup !

Got it immediately.

Also got a very, very cool 3D pic browser addon through Mozilla.

I'm stoked too Josh.

Lost my ftp plugin and my PayPal Plugin...par for the course.

same here - does seem to be noticeably quicker than version 2, looks nicer to (I'm running it on Mac OSX

Thanks for the info!

 

[sfsuphysics]

is it the release version? Or still a beta?

 

[montanabay]

it was just released yesterday, the demand was so high I couldn't download it until today, they met their goal of being the most downloaded program in 24hrs, 8million...pretty impressive.

Gonna have to download. I loved 2.0 but i swear mine would lock up at least once a day, pretty annoying. Anyone else have this issue?

 

[chem-e]

I just updated my Firefox and so far I'm liking what I see.

 

[stubbsz]

I just loaded it on my Mac and then spent half an hour looking to download 2.0 as I'm still running 10.3.9. I wish, they'd mention system requirements on the download page.

Works great on my mac

Very happy. I officially switched from safari a few weeks back

Maybe I'll download 3.0 to see what all the hub bub is about

Crashing on Windows XP 64-bit with an E8500.

Stable on Windows XP 32-bit with an E8400.

Really irritated that some tab options are missing - especially an "overwrite" for a new "open in tabs". Here's a "fix":

Does look prettier and seems faster.

Will try it on OS X tonight.

I have mine running on a E6750 OC to 3.6GHZ , but that shouldn't matter, the fact that it is 64-bit probably is.

Surprising since most Linux users will be running 64bit

I have E8400 that's been sitting on my desk for two months now but I haven't upgraded yet, might build a new computer around it, rather than upgrading my E6750, since the OC will be the same, it just the E8400 doesn't require a voltage increase to hit 3.6, making it cool and energy efficient.

Cheers,

Josh

2.0 had a memory leak, that is why 3.0 seems so much faster.
Leave 2.0 open long enough and it will suck up all your resources.
