Brandon Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I find 3 a lot faster then 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted December 26, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2007 Same for me, Firefox 3 is much more responsive. Of course, unless you're fine with dealing with bugs and incompatibilities, use 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocatorX Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Try Opera! It's free, and has lots of features missing in Firefox. It's the only browser I like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_r_nelson Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 How "buggy" is FF3 and can someone post a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Login_Here Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 i hate the new nav bar in FF3 Glad to see I'm not the only one who hates it. You can disable it by going to about:config, and changing browser.urlbar.richResults from True to False. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I have FF3 installed, but I only use it when something doesn't work in Safari 3. I really like the new default theme for the Mac version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I think it's nice that in FF3, they have tried to make it look more like a native app! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundayx Veteran Posted December 26, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2007 Thread titles like this just make me angry. How? "2 or 3" in a Mozilla Discussion, pretty straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shasoosh Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 any way! i've just installed 3 and... wel... i don't know. feels weird. where did you get a speed increase? any specific sites i can compare? the speed feels pretty much the same.

»X« Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 How? "2 or 3" in a Mozilla Discussion, pretty straightforward. Isnt a thread title supposed to give a clue to what it is? Otherwise you could make one just called "A". "Well ive used the letter A a few times, pretty straightforward" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shasoosh Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) Isnt a thread title supposed to give a clue to what it is?Otherwise you could make one just called "A". "Well ive used the letter A a few times, pretty straightforward" I think that you're the only one in Mozilla (Gecko) forum that didn't understood what the numbers mean. if it makes you so angry that i didn't wrote "firefox 2 or firefox 3" you don't have to replay in this thread. But, if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, if you try to understand the state i was in when i missed out the word firefox, I'd be happy to hear your comment regarding the topic. ;) Edited December 26, 2007 by Shasoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they fixed the huge memory leak FireFox has in FireFox 3? I haven't seen many memory leaks in Firefox (I've only seen it start leaking memory while rendering a large page once), but it does have slightly better memory usage.

shakey_snake Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 ff3 b2. The "stuttering-while-scrolling-with-large-image" fix is enough to not look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSWE Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 For the first time I have installed and actually USING firefox. I'm using FF 3 b2 and I'm pretty impressed. In the past I have only used IE 7 since I have found FF to be a recource hog like no other. With version 3 b2 that has finally changed some. The only thing that irritates me is the looooong startup time for FF. With IE I just click the icon and it opens immidiately. With FF it takes several seconds for the window to appear. However it IS a beta and will hopefully get that fixed. For now I'm very pleased with this version and I will probably make the switch when the RTM comes out permanently.

jamend Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Most of the plugins I use don't work with 3 so I'm sticking with 2 for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
