Mozilla Firefox 3.0 RC1


Recommended Posts

I don't know if you are still reading this thread, warwagon, as your last post was over a week ago, but if you are still looking for a good solution for image zooming in FF3 then you can't go wrong with Image Zoom. It's the best, most powerful extension of its type that I have found so far. It works with Firefox, Mozilla, Thunderbird, Netscape, and Flock.

It can zoom/reduce single images on a page or all images on a page.

Ok, I installed it. Where is the option to have a button for reload on each tab, or how can I set it up so I can reload a tab just by double clicking it?

Go to settings and then click on the mouse and you can make it behave any way you want to. To Reload a tab, it is normal just a double click, to reload all tabs you cvan set it so if you DC on the TB all tabs will reload. There are numerous selections.

Can anyone recommend me a good gmail swithcer? I have two accounts, but old Gmail Manager is not compatible with FF3...

Also, I had problems with crashing on some web sites, with little digging I found out that there is a problem with javascript that checkes for Silverlight installed, so the solution is disable Silverlight 1.0 plugins and install 2.0 beta and it works! :)

Tools > Tab Mix Plus Options > Mouse > Mouse Clicking > Double-click

Change the "on a tab" setting to "Reloads the tab", although on mine that was the default already.

These are the extensions I use and they are all compatible.

Is there a compatibility website where I can check out what extensions are compatible with FF 3.0 RC1?

It's Fx. :D

IMNSHO it's enough to check the sandbox on addons.mozilla.org (you'll need a user account there)...

Almost every Fx2 extension has meanwhile been updated.

:)

(Alternatively, there are mostly replacements for Fx3...)

Went ahead and installed RC 1 and installed Adblock plus (thanks to Gary), while none of the other add ons I had installed worked. There is only one other one that I really want and that is a weather one.

Is there any ones people would like to specifically recommend? The old one I had got its weather from Weather.com which is my personal preference.

Forecast Fox Is Compatible. So is The Weather Bug.

Yes I saw those two when I was searching. The thing is, I just wanted personal opinions from those that use a weather extension.

I just use Intellicast as a bookmark on my BM toolbar. Those weather extensions slow down your browser. I get the same info off of the Intellicast website.

Thanks, man! That's exactly what I was looking for! What's up with these colors, though? The text on my tabs is red. Anyway to change that? Nevermind, I found it. Thanks again! Edited by mancode20

Anyway to save the currently opened tabs when I exit Firefox 3.0 RC1?

With 2.0, I shut my computer down without closing FF and then was able to reopen FF with the tabs when I restart the computer.

With 3.0 Beta 5, I had to click file, exit, then save before I shut down my computer.

Trying that same procedure in 3.0 RC1 doesn't not prompt me to save, nor does it save any of my open tabs.

When pressing the red 'X' at the top right, in the titlebar, there should be an option on the dialog box, which appears, stating "Save and Quit", as well as the "Quit" and "Cancel" buttons.

Does this not appear for you?

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
