Firefox 3 has also set a record for number of crashes on my machine since install. I thought it was my plugins so i removed them all. For some reason when i'm on my VPN firefox crashes regularly. no idea what it is.

I wonder if they track how many people went back to FireFox 2 because half their extensions didn't work. I loved FF3, but it doesn't improve the experience for me yet. Obviously not Mozilla's fault... I gotta get back to hounding these extension developers.

DO NOT OPEN YAHOO MAIL IN FIREFOX 3 TODAY!If you use Firefox 3 and then open a yahoo email, you will be directed to a website -- worthathousandwords.com. Except the new page won't load, it just keeps trying to connect. It's horrible. People are all over yahoo answers trying to find out what the problem is.Yahoo Answers link: <a class="user" href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Atec_pmIWgRT9VJ_ucFsCsvsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080702170028AAqGp1t&show=7#profile-info-a9943d6854a158261ab33dc44c3dad1daa">http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Atec_ ...</a>The worthathousandwords.com website posted this response:"We are aware of a problem with Firefox and Yahoo Mail.There is no problem if you use an IE browser to read Yahoo Mail.Also a temporary solution is to disable JavaScript in Firefox.We apologize for the problem, it is not intentional.We have contacted Yahoo and are trying to fix the issue with Firefox as quickly as possible."I wish someone would offer some sort of an update about this...PS I love firefox, but this is scary. I went back to Safari for now - I have a mac. The glitch is for mac and PC. I don't care for Safari at all.

Im stuck with FF2. I love 3, but HD FLVs are unplayable in it, atleast on this computer. Works fine in FF2.

FF3 is the bomb. I run it at home, and have installed it at work (even though the IT guy said no at first). It helps with many of the web design stuff, like when doing this site <a class="user" href="http://www.speedupmypc.biz">http://www.speedupmypc.biz</a> it looked different in FF after designing it with IE. OK now though.
