Download Firefox 3.01

Thanks for the update!

Sweet. Hopefully all my issues with it'll be fixed.

Praying that the slow scrolling prob has been fixed, but I doubt it :'(

Download Firefox 3.01 en-GB

Praying that "Firefox has crashed" after I close it thing stops.

Site still shows latest as 3.0 for me, and the release notes are for RC1.
File has been on the server for a while now though.

Does Mozilla.com show 3.0.1 for anyone yet?

Yep.
3.0.1
www.firefox.com is what I use, which directs you to mozilla.com/xxxxxx

Just using the auto-update works for me.

Ah yes, cheers.
Firefox.com, redirected me to: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/ which does indeed show 3.0.1. Still shows 3.0 on Mozilla.com

Will be installing this right away

So it's not compatible with Tab Mix Plus :'(

All languages:

Great, updated.. now my themes dont work

Seriously, without Tab Mix Plus, Firefox is nothing to me. Anybody know a temp fix?

You should look at the glasser add on with the stylish plug in

Still scrolls like a dog on neowins front page :'(

Updated.. hopefully this fixes the issues many were complaining about.

TMP is working for me.

Why is it listed here then? Did Firefox 3.0.1 also fix it?

Same for me but on other pages and not on neowin.net

iFox Smooth is not compilable, what the f? Not that it really matters to me, since I use a different theme...

Seriously? Can you please tell me which version you have?

I have version 0.3.6.1.080416

EDIT: It's OK, I've fixed it.

Downloaded it again from http://tmp.garyr.net/tab_mix_plus-dev-build.xpi

Open WinRAR and then drag the file you just saved, "tab_mix_plus-dev-build.xpi" onto the open WinRAR window.

Drag "install.rdf" from the WinRAR window, onto your desktop.

Open notepad, then drag "install.rdf" from your desktop onto the open notepad window.

Look for the line that says em:maxVersion="3.0" Change it to em:maxVersion="3.*" (it's only in there once)

Exit notepad, and choose save when asked.

Now drag your new edited "install.rdf" on to the open WinRAR window, and click OK.

Close WinRAR.

Now drag "tab_mix_plus-dev-build.xpi" from your desktop onto an open firefox window, and click "Install".

Hope that all made sense, and is of help to some of you

That same version. I update my firefox and it is still working.

Thanks for posting. Updating right now....

That's really strange, it wouldn't work for me even after reinstalling it, but I have fixed it now as you can see above.

Yeah Firefox scrolls slow / laggy on alot of pages I visit for some reason. I'm glad I am not the only one.

How about the Hotmail problem? Does it still revert to classic everytime?

Yep...

Pity too. I'm waiting for that problem to be fixed before I upgrade from 2.x; I know I can use IE Tab, but I just want it to work properly

Is this too much to ask of you, MS?

Updated.

Haven't had any problems scrolling with 3.0 or this update. Neowin is smooth as silk. Could it be an addon or plugin causing the trouble?

Slow scrolling is normally due to CSS corners - they're much higher quality in Firefox 3, but as a result cause more of a performance hit. Afaik, it's known and being worked on.

You aren't likely to see a magic fix in a 3.0.x fix ... 3.1 might help though (expected in Q4 '08).

Hmm, I haven't got that scrolling problem. Installing the update now anywho, never hurts to be up to date

Snap Link and Multi-Proxy not working yet.

Ohh yeah, border rendering is slow, it's just due to the way it draws, it's being fixed in 3.1 though (It's not rounded corners though, them being anti-aliased is just a side effect of Cairo being so awesome)

Some borders take 6 seconds on the "BorderBench" test, takes the same as other borders (around 2 seconds, it forces a lot of redraws to measure the average) with the in-progress patch.

Edit: Borders just pretty much suck at the moment, only solid borders work perfectly, once you start using rounded, dashed (etc.) borders you start getting "issues" (not bad issues, but stuff like 2 rounded circles drawing half in each other)

I just updated through the auto update

Just been updated via auto update, same as rappy!

Updated earlier, felt slower on initial start up but seems alright now

Updated with auto update.

Updated on my laptop but I will wait to do the same on my desktop since TMP does not seem to work on my laptop.

Oh good, I just found out that I have been updated.

I have to assume that since it works on 2.x and not 3.x that it's Firefox's fault.

I just updated and all is well. TMP doesn't work, but using the nightly tester tools extension to override it seems to work fine.

It's got nothing to do with Mozilla, it's entirely up to MS.

The browser sniffing code they use sucks, they explicitly check for Firefox 2 on Windows, so Firefox 2 on Linux comes up unsupported, as does Firefox 3 and any other Gecko powered, non Firefox browser (which work fine, but since they don't announce themselves as Firefox they get marked unsupported)

Maybe in the future people will write browser sniffing code that targets the engines (or even better, specific features), but at the moment it just seems more of the same stupidity.

*sigh* none of the issues I experience have been fixed, ie: slow, choppy scroll and huge memory usage (over 3X what opera uses using the exact same windows. No added extras to either browser.

Looks like I'm sticking to opera, which really isn't bad at all, I think I can say I prefer it over FF. My girl usually uses FF though...

Check your VM size, it should be about the same, or less, than Opera.

If the default scorlling in unacceptable to, you can:

1. Turn on smooth scrolling in the Options (under Advanced).
2. Adjust the default scrolling behavior for all your windows apps in the control panel.
   Firefox is nice enough to you your systems default scroll size.

You could also just install this to make it scroll like Opera's beautiful scrolling setting. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5846

No more random crashes for me when opening more than 5 sites/tabs at once. Nice!

So they aren't using the W.X.Y.Z version scheme anymore? They are back to using X.Y.Z?

Mine still randomly crash's sometimes but it's a bit better.

Might be the extensions you've got installed rather than the browser. Some of the extensions are very poorly written
