Firefox 3
« on: August 28, 2008, 22:15:42 »
My son has just updated to FF3 and doesn't like it, says it does things he doesn't want it to do.  I'm holding off until I hear enough positive comments to warrant upgrading.  I haven't heard any yet.

Has anyone anything good to say about FF3?  ??? ??? ???

I installed  Firefox 3 about 2 months ago and do believe it is quicker than Firefox 2 & also IE7.
Wouldn`t use anything else, can`t see why you don`t like it  ? ?

I wouldn't touch IE with a bargepole, use Firefox 2 and Opera and IE only for testing web pages for uploading.  I've just been told by so many people that FF3 is a load of **** and the only thing going for it is that is very quick.

I found that Firefox 3 is better than version 2 for speed and memory usage. I'm very happy with it.

I'm using FF3, I can't see any problem with it. Yes, it's quick, sometimes too quick. It seems to be so quick that it doesn't wait for the website to react before it flags a failed to load  warning. You do have to hold down the mouse or enter button in order to make sure it loads.

Maybe the fast reaction is due to Ubuntu/Linux OS then, but it does have that effect. I often find it flags up a failed load.

I have been using Firefox for some months now and am quite happy with it. i find it much more user friendly than IE and works a lot better than AOL 9, particularly when playing videos.

It depends what you want to use it for i suppose.
