Yeah, I also switched to FF3b4 and using it as the primary one.

FF2 is a thing of past for me now.

FF3 is more faster indeed.

There are plenty of plugins working in FF3b4 release. Most important to me, the Adblock Plus is greatly working there.

What I really hate about FF3 is the icons for back forward. Why do they make the back so HUGE?

I switched back from FF3 to FF2 cause there isn't much add ons(the ones I like)

FF3 is officially released?

^no ..

FF3 B4 crashed for me 3 or more times when i used it.. i have send the error log to them.

i think its because i created 7 or 8 tabs in the firefox.Also it uses more memory space in ram..oh its in the beta version... the final version may not have these problems...

waiting for uuuuuuu firefox 3.....

using ff3betapre5. absolutely fine and stunning in performance and looks (some good changes).
also used ff3b4, ff3b3, ff3b2, ff3b1. Everything worked fine, was no problem.

I had faced some problems with ff3beta4 to be exact.the fonts look weird,in forum/type space there is a very little line splash of random colors(rainbow?) when we move mouse over it,when typing inside,there is some weird lines drawn etc(tough to explain!) BTW,I am on GNU/Linux and got a nvidia card.
with pre5 they have fixed this.seems to me a GNU/Linux/BSD problem only.

few plugins doesnt seem to work with ff3 beta4/5
one such is logmein addon....and meebo plugin as well not working with betas

^^^ well u must hv recieved many pms becoz of ur username

Can anyone tell me whether Mozilla is aware of "Clearing cache after crash issue" or not? Whenever Firefox crashes, it automatically clears the cache, its kinda annoying. Are they aware of this issue? And if yes, will they ever fix it or is there any reason behind this feature?

I am also getting these on Windows Vista SP1 also. So it is not a OS problem.

can't download the ff3b5 version....some link problem

^^^ why go for ff3b5 itz a prerelease only so almost no addons are supported nor is it stable. i reverted back to ffb4 immediately after using it for first time

I had edited and repack adblockplus to make it work with ff3pre :-|

^ ^ @Ihatemyself, It works and compatible addons are available almost with all the ones I use, except for Zotero. But I am glad as long as ABP is compatible.

do i suppose to uninstall ver 2 before installing ver 3 beta?

am running into weird problem..when i click firefox icon on desktop.....sometime i get 2.0.13 to run and next time i get v3 beta 5 to run..again v2 and so on...
