- koalaznbear, on 05/22/2008, -7/+123After reading this, I'm downloading Firefox 3 asap! I don't care about the bugs; by the time they release the official version I'll already be familiar with it.
Thanks Mozilla! - NeoNightmareX, on 05/22/2008, -5/+83Final Fantasy 3 has already been out for like 14 years
- MirzaSaadBaig, on 05/22/2008, -13/+90Cant wait for FF3!!!!
- rossiohead, on 05/22/2008, -1/+64Buried because the entire list was all put on the same page. Why not spread things out over three or even four, so that we the users have more opportunities to appreciate the lovely background advertising?
- jls33fsls, on 05/22/2008, -5/+58I have been using Firefox 3 since the first beta and haven't had any trouble, what bugs are you referring to that kept you from FF3 in the first place?
- ryleyleckie, on 05/22/2008, -4/+4985% of the internet is stupid
- Owwmykneecap, on 05/22/2008, -12/+54The best reason is and always will be: it's not internet explorer.
- Scaryclouds, on 05/22/2008, -3/+30FF3 will definitely be the browser to beat when it is officially released. I've been using the beta version (Minefield) for several months and other than the few hiccups that come with beta software I have been thoroughly impressed. It is very quick once it gets going and I absolutely love the new address bar, it definitely earned the name of "awesome bar."
- shankarganesh, on 05/22/2008, -2/+28download FF3 RC1 then :P
- truspect0r, on 05/22/2008, -4/+24I lol'd
- craighamnett, on 05/22/2008, -3/+21The "Awesome Bar" really is awesome!
- solidus636, on 05/22/2008, -2/+19It's a lot better than FF2's GUI, and it looks great to me. Plus, it's not the GUI itself that is the feature, it's the integration it shows within each operating system, so that each application looks native to the OS.
- stuy486, on 05/22/2008, -0/+17My only problem with it is the number of add-ons that I'm used to using that are incompatible now (Tab Mix Plus being the main one), but even with that, I'm still using it because of the dramatic speed increase.
- DiscoLando, on 05/22/2008, -4/+20My brain keeps interpreting the headline as Top 3 Firefox 10 Features. Either I've gone 5 years into the future, or I need some sleep.
- theHM, on 05/22/2008, -1/+16You all need Troll Detection as a Firefox addon.
- dha07030, on 05/22/2008, -6/+20It starts up fast too, the beta had me worried for a bit.
- ElBeh, on 05/22/2008, -3/+16I dunno about Vista, but it's orgasmic here on XP. It has some nice shading to it, therefore making it not really boring, and yet it's simple and efficient. Google is a good example of how simplicity and efficiency is a good thing.
- Arcanis, on 05/22/2008, -1/+14No, extensions.
- cdawzrd, on 05/22/2008, -4/+16I used to use Tab Mix Plus but I find it rather irrelevant now...
- pissinguparope, on 05/22/2008, -9/+21"STILL not as good as IE." Yes it is, it's better than IE
- epyon180, on 05/22/2008, -2/+13"Your browser is a serious part of your computer time, so having it look like nothing else on your system can be seriously annoying."
you hear that safari for windows? - spect3r, on 05/22/2008, -1/+12I've noticed a HUGE improvement with RC1 and Digg pages open in multiple tabs. With Firefox 2; it was painful and I would always end up using Safari for digg....
Seriously, try out RC1 - it's really fast. Especially on digg - TheSpook, on 05/22/2008, -1/+11Now you can start a download of RC1.
- zach382, on 05/22/2008, -0/+9There is actually a Tab Mix Plus build for Firefox 3, you can get it from the developer's forum. Here's the link: http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8841
This is one of those extensions I can't live without. I've been using the dev build for a couple of months now and have never had a problem with it. - Modestexcuse, on 05/22/2008, -0/+8I too use DownThemAll, with excellent results. I completely agree with you, my second recommendation after AdBlock Plus.
- solistus, on 05/22/2008, -0/+8You don't actually have to inform us every time you choose not to digg a story. Thanks.
- BlaenkDenum, on 05/22/2008, -3/+11Even if you do encounter bugs, it's better to encounter them now and have the opportunity to report them in hopes of having them fixed before it is released, or be lazy (read: pussy), refuse to give back to the community, and expect to see those same bugs in the release version.
Plus it gives you more of a transition period so you can adapt to the new browser. - elvenseven, on 05/22/2008, -4/+11I believe you got your stats from myspace.
- dinostabOMG, on 05/22/2008, -0/+7Out of curiosity, do you happen to know if AdBlock Plus and All-in-One Gestures still work?
- ElBeh, on 05/22/2008, -3/+10Though 7 (Improved Download Manager) is very true, DownThemAll! is ten times better as mentioned in the article. It's the first addon I recommend to other FireFox-users after AdBlock Plus.
- Biznarie, on 05/22/2008, -2/+9Firefox 3 fixed that, its much harder to get malware on firefox compared to IE on windows that makes it better imo.
- glinsvad, on 05/22/2008, -0/+7Best feature=Setting Gmail to handle mailto-links!
http://lifehacker.com/392287/set-firefox-3-to-laun ... - Udog, on 05/22/2008, -0/+7Dyslexia for cure found.
- mvent2, on 05/22/2008, -3/+10Nice to see IE have all those features, oh wait it doesn't.
- l0k0, on 05/22/2008, -0/+6Yes, blame Mozilla because Flash and Linux have always worked so well together...
/s - theHM, on 05/22/2008, -0/+6Hmm, Top Ten Nouns sounds like a good article. I'll drop a line to Cracked...
- Apocalypse321, on 05/22/2008, -1/+7Adblock plus and NoScript both were very fast with the updates. I was initially mad because gestures doesn't update, but a quick google search revealed a beta version of it for FF3. almost every common add on has either a compatible one or a beta version. Besides, if there is a add on that you can't live without, nightly tester has a force computability feature, but expect bugs with it.
I didn't use the betas, but RC1 is amazing. - theHM, on 05/22/2008, -0/+6That's interesting, since the bottom graph shows that Firefox 3 "spits all over" Opera 9.5b.
- Lutremi, on 05/22/2008, -10/+15I plan to download the official version when it comes out. Right now, I'm using Safari 3.1 in XP, and good freakin god it is smooth. The only reason it will not compete with FF as best as it could is because it doesn't have the community of developers making awesome extensions.
- specialK16, on 05/22/2008, -0/+5That is simply BEAUTIFUL! If I still were using Vista I would definitely be using that!
- JensenSteve, on 05/22/2008, -1/+6Can't wait for this, looks like it has some long needed updates.
- koalaznbear, on 05/22/2008, -0/+5I'm referring to the bugs mentioned in the article. I haven't used Firefox 3 yet; that's why I say, despite the bugs, I'm downloading asap!
- AvidPreatorian, on 05/22/2008, -3/+8that sounds gross..
- parallax7d, on 05/22/2008, -1/+6The new image scaling when zooming is pretty impressive too. And startup speed.
- PueSi, on 05/22/2008, -2/+7From your link:
"W3Schools is a website for people with an interest for web technologies. These people are more interested in using alternative browsers than the average user. The average user tends to use Internet Explorer, since it comes preinstalled with Windows. Most do not seek out other browsers.
These facts indicate that the browser figures above are not 100% realistic. Other web sites have statistics showing that Internet Explorer is used by at least 80% of the users." - l0k0, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5Filezilla and WinSCP.
- mynameistux, on 05/22/2008, -0/+4wtf?
- mikewitt, on 05/22/2008, -0/+4Same here.
- inactive, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5No - just change the user agent.
