Well look at this..

Everyone that has been saying "Beta 1 is here! Beta 1 is here!" over and over for the nightly releases can finally see beta 1.

I don't know why Mozilla can't fix the "Memory Usage" problem....i mean that's why Opera is better than FF....otherwise both of them are ruling the Browsers Market......

#4.1 [deXter] on 20 Nov 2007 - 02:43

It's "Fx", NOT "FF".

#4.2 balupton on 20 Nov 2007 - 03:58

Maybe to the confusing people it is "Fx"...

I doubt anyone cares about if being Fx rather than FF. FF what is got stuck into people's minds, FF will be used.

#4.5 Lant on 20 Nov 2007 - 13:28

Mozilla actually have said that they prefer Firefox to be shortened to fx.

@OP if you don't have enough ram for a couple of hundred MB then you must have a really old pc. That said I agree that they should try to minimize RAM useage.

The name of the browser is Firefox. Mozilla says on their website that the abbreviation therefore is Fx. It's not FireFox or Fire Fox or anything like that. It's Firefox.

That's like all the people who still think Explorer in Windows is the thing they browse the web with and the the screensaver is the picture that is on your desktop background! That's what's stuck in people's heads, but it doesn't mean it's correct.

OK, I give up! It's nucular....

opera isnt better! you take that back!! j/k... they each have there good points. ive said it once i'll say it again, they should become one... operfox. and while they combine them, it could be called, "opera"tion firefox

#5.1 caesar on 20 Nov 2007 - 08:30

Haha, good one.

I'm thinking on giving it a try but I'd better wait for a non-beta release. That memory consumption bug would make FF (yah, it's FF as in FireFox not FX or whatever) even better/used than it is right now.

#6 RevitXman on 20 Nov 2007 - 03:35

still no x64 support?

#7 Purple Haze on 20 Nov 2007 - 03:58

Really wanna upgrade but not until I know how many extensions it'll kill.......

#8 Bawx on 20 Nov 2007 - 06:09

I only had one Yahoo one and it killed it. O_O

#9 Avi on 20 Nov 2007 - 10:09

You better link to the download page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
Oh, and lets not forget the release notes: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0b1/releasenotes/

#10 Dane2003 on 20 Nov 2007 - 10:16

I use IE for almost everything, but ill upgrade Firefox as its my pr0n browser...I just hope they fixed the memory leak and implemented the interface changes seen earlier.

memory leak here, memory leak there.... I don't mind! it's works fine, then it's fine by me!

#11.1 selflysis on 20 Nov 2007 - 15:33

People mind it when their computer starts to slow down because of something as light as your browser.

#12 selflysis on 20 Nov 2007 - 12:47

I definitely love the new "application" tab in the options but you STILL can't add new ones if you want? What the hell?

I want to be able to add new application extensions to download or open at will!

#13 Mad_Griffith on 20 Nov 2007 - 13:01

I'm waiting for the italian version.

#14 Chokes on 20 Nov 2007 - 13:13

Great release!! With a funny about:config

#15 th3rEsa on 20 Nov 2007 - 15:24

Many interesting new features, though less new features, yet. I think I'll wait for the next beta version.

#16 godzila on 20 Nov 2007 - 16:32

#17 Xtreme2damax on 20 Nov 2007 - 19:11

Cool, but I myself would honestly wait until the final is released and bugs are sorted out. For now I'll stick with my 2.0.0.9. I've had bad experiences with beta software in the past so I avoid using beta software when I can. Nonetheless It looks like a promising release.

#18 duntkno on 21 Nov 2007 - 05:48

its funny, beta 1 rc3, worked better than the final. i had to uninstall it, kept slowing down the computer down to a freeze. i hope they fix the problems. hell with all the money they got, they could hire some pple for help.

#19 OblivionStalker on 21 Nov 2007 - 10:34

AFAIK, Mozilla are a non-commercial company. Maybe they get money through donations and from sponsors, but they don't have commercial products (except for the few t-shirts and hats).
