- niteskunk, on 05/17/2008, -4/+375Is it just me, or does this new release start up REALLY fast compared to older versions?
- BryanJK, on 05/17/2008, -19/+242if your running on any of the betas, it should have already screamed at you to update :P
- stormgren, on 05/17/2008, -5/+139You mean it wasn't before? :(
- hktapew0rm, on 05/17/2008, -12/+135This beta runs a lot faster for me. It starts a lot faster, as well.
- mvent2, on 05/17/2008, -0/+98Same. They're not improving Acid3 at this stage, just fixing bugs before final release. It's too late for major changes.
- luke16, on 05/17/2008, -6/+100Can this use addons like Adblock plus?
- str1fe, on 05/17/2008, -5/+91Release Candidate != Beta
- kris33, on 05/17/2008, -4/+79yeah
- Cimlite, on 05/17/2008, -1/+75That's an update to Gmail, has absolutely nothing to do with Mozilla or Firefox.

- hypermite, on 05/17/2008, -15/+71updates make me smile.
- pcabellor, on 05/17/2008, -1/+56What's new: http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2008/05/firefox-3-relea ...
Full review: http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2008/05/firefox-3-rc-1- ... - inactive, on 05/17/2008, -1/+53Speed increases and memory leaks being plugged are two of the many improvements to FF3. So if you avoided using FF in the past for speed reasons, it's time to try out the latest release.
- FDisk, on 05/17/2008, -13/+63Starts really fast. :)
- twiztidsinz, on 05/17/2008, -6/+55Typically Beta's have more detailed error reporting stuff added in, which can weigh a program down a little especially on initial load. They probably pulled it out for the RC. That's what she said.
- hktapew0rm, on 05/17/2008, -2/+47I think it does.
- mattus, on 05/17/2008, -1/+42I've been following FF3's progress on the Mozilla Wiki for a while, and it's amazing how much collaborative work has gone into improving Firefox and squashing bugs. Kudos to the Firefox team for a job well done.
- dtfinch, on 05/17/2008, -0/+41If you haven't yet, type about:robots into the address bar.
- n0odles, on 05/17/2008, -1/+41If no major bugs are found on the Release Candidate 1, then this will be the Firefox 3.0 final release. It's really faster, and the UI seems to be tweaked to look a little better.
- asadotzler, on 05/17/2008, -13/+51For in-depth articles on the best new features of Firefox 3, check out Deb Richardson's recent series @ http://www.dria.org/wordpress/archives/category/fi ...
- foldor, on 05/17/2008, -4/+41You can't "that's what she said" your own comment...
- nd_miller, on 05/17/2008, -6/+41Who or what are you replying to?
- robbiekhan, on 05/17/2008, -8/+40I've also noticed GMAIL loads much faster and there's a new window the tells of progress (even though it's brief) anyone else get this?

Pretty neat! - priegog, on 05/17/2008, -6/+38Ok, I'm gonna ask: any word on when Ubuntu will push this update?
- linksus, on 05/17/2008, -1/+33I didnt get prompted to update from the beta. had to manually ask it :) But yay thanks, its fixed some odd flash issues ive had :)
- dleifelohcs, on 05/17/2008, -2/+31So old you don't even know what you're talking about.
I'm sure you meant: "I've downloaded Firefox 2 using Firefox 1, and now I'm downloading Firefox 3 using Firefox 2... I'm getting old!" - daniel2288, on 05/17/2008, -5/+34use the nightly testers tool addon and it lets all of your add ons work
- doshindude, on 05/17/2008, -2/+30stop using a beta of flash?
- GRAVEWiSH, on 05/17/2008, -12/+4071/100 on ACiD3 test....what did beta5 get?
- mvent2, on 05/17/2008, -9/+35People use Silverlight?
- AvidPreatorian, on 05/17/2008, -1/+27wow now that you really freed up your time you can almost blink once more per minute
- daveisfera, on 05/17/2008, -1/+26It started for me yesterday in FF3 beta 5, so it's definitely a Google change.
- manitoba98xp, on 05/17/2008, -1/+26So wait…you're always downloading the previous version?
- sliggy, on 05/17/2008, -5/+30Obvious poster is obvious.
- wizard710, on 05/17/2008, -4/+27Yeah better than version 2.0
- priegog, on 05/17/2008, -4/+26Ah michael refrained in this week's episode... it almost made me feel sad.
- nads, on 05/17/2008, -3/+25Anyone impressed at how quickly the new digg comments systems is loading on these comment heavy pages? Well done Digg!
- DarknessGP, on 05/17/2008, -2/+23Better to copy a good feature and make it available to many users than to let it stay with only a few arrogant ***** that think their browser choice makes them superior.
- inactive, on 05/17/2008, -1/+20The "Clear" button is back in the downloads dialog, and the main window finally dims when it's inactive on the Mac! It sounds so simple, but that's been driving me mad. Now they just need rounded context menus on Leopard and I'm 100% satisfied... :)
- inactive, on 05/17/2008, -4/+23Useful to you maybe. I never use it and I want it gone. That's the point of customization.
- d37r17u5, on 05/17/2008, -2/+21It feels much faster in rendering pages as well.
- mvent2, on 05/17/2008, -2/+19Right click on the navigation toolbar, and untick Bookmarks Toolbar.
- mattus, on 05/17/2008, -0/+17That's 'cause it's ten years old! Most of the guys developing Firefox do this on their own time, and you can't expect them to support antiquated OSs indefinitely, especially when they probably have lots of security flaws.
- renegadeafk, on 05/17/2008, -6/+23All the browsers copy features from each other...
- KeithA45, on 05/17/2008, -1/+18Naw as cool as that is, I got that yesterday still on Firefox 2. I think it's new to Gmail, not firefox
- fLUx1337, on 05/17/2008, -2/+19Been running it about a week using nightly builds which just kept coming. Not sure much has changed between last week though, I guess they have just been squashing mini-bugs and putting finishing touches to everything....
All I need now is for my extensions to be supported for real, I'm forcing them to work but most feel broken in some way! :( - gamerjon, on 05/17/2008, -2/+18B5...
IETab doesn't work with RC1, for now.. - dxgg, on 05/17/2008, -0/+15Yes, I saw the progress indicator yesterday on ffb5 But what's with the wmv?
- ligyron, on 05/17/2008, -4/+19Clearly you can
- naylor83, on 05/17/2008, -14/+29Here's a hot tip for using the new location bar more efficiently:
Use Tab, Return instead of Down, Return to select the first suggestion in the dropdown list. It's a lot easier when you're hands are in typing position. -
