Bryan R. Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I don't understand what the features you listed are any better than what IE7 can offer. Since when is tabbed browsing a Firefox only feature? And with both browsers left at their default configuration, IE7 has one less toolbar than Firefox (Firefox has that stupid bookmarks toolbar) Not trying to sound like a "fanboy", and don't get me wrong, Firefox is superb in performance. Just want to make it clear that the gap isn't as big as you make it sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova_00 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Please don't link to the ftp. Release to the website https://releases.mozilla.com so that way load balancing happens and the server doesn't crash. http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...releases/3.0b3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind that Firefox just work in my all machines (more than fine) Intead if Internet Explorer is by far better to me, even I don't install IE7, after use it always go for IE6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas-c Veteran Posted February 12, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 12, 2008 certainly a little faster than the last beta, but some thing (like the overly sized nav menu thingy) have been changed... like the icons... small icons nothing changed now looks smaller and cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefix is notably compatible with most PCs I have come across. I didn't even mention the fact that Firefox is incredibly customizable with addons. But amazingly, those aren't listed as features...

Digitalx Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Does this also have the new UI improvements that were spoken of recently on that guys blog with icons and stuff ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmarE D Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Does this also have the new UI improvements that were spoken of recently on that guys blog with icons and stuff ? Yes The back and forward buttons don't look right at all IMO. If you use the small icons they'll switch to the other ones though. They look alright, but the back button is too big I think. Looks out of place. Look at the space above the top of the back button compared to the bottom of it and it makes it look crooked. Little things like that drive me nuts :laugh: EDIT: I just noticed there's no Home button Edited February 12, 2008 by NightmarE D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Downloaded it for Mac OS, it really does look great now (especially in Leopard). Now finally it is written natively in Cocoa (or at least it looks like it is :|). There's a lot of layout problems in the preferences pane, but seriously I am very surprised. When I saw the interface on a screenshot a couple of months ago, I told myself it was a pure copy of Safari, but apparently they tweaked a few things and the layout is a little different. Oh yeah, it also needs to include every language by default, we're not supposed to choose which language we want to download FF in. Thumbs up for this release! Finally FF follows OS X standards...

Include every language? What are you smoking? Do you know how huge the download would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leovanham Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Include every language? What are you smoking? Do you know how huge the download would be? There not including all languages in one package, but they can do it very easily, it's only text. :) and text can be compressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hmm... that seems oddly reminiscent of the IE7 Back/Forward buttons... :shiftyninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mukati Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Ok so when i start Firefox, it told, me its a Trap this is RC of beta 3 not beta 3 itself!!!... so is it the right one or not???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova_00 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 There not including all languages in one package, but they can do it very easily, it's only text. :) and text can be compressed. There are like at least 80 languages and thousands of strings that are translated and even whole pages. The Firefox download would be like 30 mb.

Ayepecks Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 UI for Vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova_00 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 UI for Vista? Same as XP. The code hasn't been checked in to detect with version of windows, thus allowing Firefox to display the icons for that version. So for now, XP icons it is.
