Anyone else here tried the latest build of Firefox 3.0?

I have Alpha 8 Minefield installed and had only 2 problems (with animated PNG)

Other than that i like the new features* and better engine. (graphics really do look prettier!)

I didn't even know it was out. Link meh? :]

Tried one of the alphas, just to see if the new Gecko engine really passed the acid2 test finally (it did).

EDIT: A link for you Fama: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/3.0a8/releasenotes/

In truth, it's not out. It's not even in it's Beta. It's before that lol. Personally, I HAVE tried it and see no difference between it and Firefox 2.0 except the name. So it's too early to say what it'll be like. Chances are, it may not be released fully until next year.

Ooh sweet going to try it out now.

I'm gonna go with waiting until it's out, which is later in this year right?

I believe the alpha is in 08..

Really? I read somewhere that it was supposed to be out already, but was delayed.

EDIT: November (estimated): Firefox 3 released, Firefox 2.0.x.y supported for next six months

Oh lol.. for some reason I thought the MineField Version was past Version 3.. oh well lol.

I dont see any difference between any of the firefoxes, except the speed really.

Maybe you should read the changelog!

Plus that looks damn sexy.

So now Mozilla are releasing a new release every six months? Christ, they're turning into Linux LOL. IMO, it does not take six months to improve software. It should take more -- this either means they rushed it or they're still wondering when to release it. November isn't that far away.

I've got Firefox 3.0 on my Computer right now. What's wrong with it?

Everything.

I can see why you say that, there's nothing new or amazing with it really, why the need to update? Instead, they should take their time and try to cram in as much updates as possible.

whats the difference between swiftfox and firefox i have both installed and they look the same

i'm still with Internet explorer...i dislike change

Hmmm? Linux generally releases kernels much more frequently (sometimes several in one day - though the 2.6.X releases are much more spaced out). I think you might be looking for "Ubuntu".

benje: you poor poor person. Anything's better than that: Firefox, Opera, Safari, anything!

How could you still be in IE... Just do this.. download firefox... use it for a few min.. and you'll realize how much faster and stable it is then IE

Firefox isn't really the fastest about, especially from a cold start - but that's not what the main advantages of it are. With Firefox you have:

• An open source browser supporting open standards
• Amazing extensibility (addons, themes, etc)
• A more compliant browser (especially with Gecko 1.9 in FFox 3.0)
• etc...

(note: these are targeted as being advantages over IE, there are more compliant rendering engines out there)

Help to get the web moving, ditch IE.

Try Firefox!! Anything but IE!!!

Simple go to www.IE7.com - that says it all.

And this site is just random but bloody funny - www.msfirefox.com

Well first of all theres a whole new engine, and re-built from the ground up. Tho, it may look the same, SINCE IT IS A ALPHA, it has a huge list of changes and rewrites.

Thats why im running both side by side for comparison.

Firefox 3.0 has many bugs. It kept crashing randomly, and it kept losing my data.

which version are you using?

the BETA1 for me rarely crashes... only crashes when i view .APNG

Used the Alpha version when it was out a couple of months ago, it wasn't very good with Ajax I think. I was testing it and Safari at the time and one of them kept messing up with Ajax, I think it was Firefox.

try the new beta.... i have no problems with it

I tried it...I prefer 2 for now...as all my addons work with it

i actually have just tried the FF3B2, and it has much improvement.... (in terms of not crashing)
