Mozilla Firefox 3.0 RC1


Recommended Posts

The only thing that still bothers me is the back and forward buttons. They look like **** honestly. Besides that, everything is perfect. I think it integrates perfectly to Vista. Even though it's not as pretty as IE7, it is superior to IE in every other way.

I was critical of the 'keyhole' back/forward button at first also. It grows on you over time though. And if you don't like it... Firefox 3 is still fully themeable.

I think it look better in Vista. The top of the web page is glass. :)

Um, no. The web page isn't glass. The window frame is, thanks to an extension. Is it a must-have? In my opinion no.

All I use is the default theme, and I must say that it has improved considerably over other FF versions (excluding nightlies because I don't use those). I do use the small icons rather than the large ones though. I like the keyhole, but I prefer to have as much vertical area for my viewport as possible.

In any case, RC1 is an improvement, though I'm not fond of the "Most Recently Bookmarked" bit in the Bookmarks toolbar. I deleted that on sight. :p I also haven't experienced any crashes with RC1, unlike the frequent crashes that I got with Beta 5, so I'm happy. For a while, I was seriously considering switching back to FF2...

Most of my extensions aren't compatible, but some still work properly. There isn't anything other than laziness preventing me from trying to find alternatives to the ones that don't work. :p

Hey, at least you are not on ubuntu ehhe .Firefox on ubuntu looks really ugly when compared to how it looks on vista.

IMO:

FF3 OS X > FF3 win xp > ff3 vista > __netscape 1.0 __ > Ff3 on ubuntu.

I think they took the 'native' look way too far.

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
