Mozilla Firefox 3.0 RC 2


Recommended Posts

Yes, but using IE Tab is very annoying as it doesn't let you see the favicon of the website & it also opens any links within that webpage in the IE engine (e.g. on Windows Live Hotmail, when I open a Neowin News Alert, it opens in IE Tab when I have only assigned the Hotmail URL to open in the IE engine :s)

Also, does Neowin crash for anyone ever? It's starting to happen all the time for me & I don't know why? :\ I think it's specifically on threads with attatchments or images?

No Neowin does not crash. As for IE Tab I only have it set for two websites and the favicons on my bookmark tool bar do not change. I don't care what is in the URL windows. Those sites that I chose are the only two that open in IE. I open Windows Live mail in Firefox, without the IE Tab.

Ahh right, I see.

The only reason I open Windows Live Hotmail in IE Tab is because you can resize the columns then. Also, you can use the drop-down to select an email to go to a certain folder. You can't do these properly in the Firefox rendering engine, in Windows Live Hotmail.

EDIT: I've just noticed that using Windows Live Hotmail in Firefox 3, without IE Tab, puts you on the 'classic' mode of Windows Live Hotmail, with much less features! :blink: There seems to be no way to use the 'full' version without using IE Tab on it :/

It's apparently been put in Check For Updates though, because I just went to it and it asked me if I wanted to upgrade (from RC1) to RC2.

Yeah, it's on auto-updates.

tbh, there isn't much of a change.. Most likely bug fixes.

Funny that :rolleyes:

Sweet! Silverlight finally works on the Mac with this update! Now if only they can fix that title bar problem, they can finally consider this release to be final! ;)

Running RC2 on my Mac... seems exactly the same as RC1. There are no front-end changes, as far as I can tell.

It still has the same issues for me. Loading really large webpages (usenet web index for example) makes it slow to a crawl and possibly crash.

I thought this is one of those "breaking bugs" that's supposed to be fixed before final release?
