Daniel0 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 If they haven't fixed the crash issues I've been having then I'll turn on crash notifications again and bombard their servers with report requests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Release: Fail. I'm getting internal server errors, pages on their site not loading, and the "video tour" thing won't even open. Oh... and it served up 2.0.0.14 when I tried to download it. WTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 They have arranged a "download day" to try to get in Guinees (sp?) record book. Apparently it's killing their servers. Try this link: http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.0&os=win&lang=en-US (providing you're using Windows and you want en-US) It should work...

rhodesa Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yeah...the record site is http://www.spreadfirefox.com/worldrecord/ which is also unavailable... GO FIREFOX!!! edit: AND DIE INTERNET EXPLORER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I just downloaded it. First time page wouldn't load and then I got the new mozilla international download page. Hopefully the new version will not disappoint. I know there were linux issues with the browser but I assume those have been fixed if they are releasing.

Daniel0 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 lol eh its more heavy on your ram tho(my xp is my crappy work computer 256 ram lol) Actually it has more efficient memory handling than any other browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ober Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Actually it has more efficient memory handling than any other browser. I still don't believe it. Open Opera 9.5 final (just released a few days ago, oddly enough) and open Firefox with both pointing to the same page. On my machine with a handful of addons installed in Firefox, Firefox is using twice the memory when sitting idle. (51Mb vs. 26Mb in Opera).

I suppose it hasn't become worse after the stable release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0perator Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 i used to have it but none of my addons worked on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 there's a few that you'll find by going straight to the developer website. I was gonna wait before upgrading because Firebug wasn't working on FF3 but it is now Just the HTML Validator one I miss now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Little Guy Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Aw, I just found out that the new FF doesn't display my beta site correctly, and a link in my flash no longer works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bastones Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Yeah, I tried downloading Firefox 3 during the download day and the download speeds were appauling and it probably took around 5 minutes for the download to finish... it's not bad but a few sites don't render properly... not sure if they have been rectified in the final release of v3.

bothwell Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 ... it's not bad but a few sites don't render properly... not sure if they have been rectified in the final release of v3. Heh, I thought I'd gone insane when I installed Ubuntu 8.0.4 with FF3 and took a look at my own site on it - the font rendering made me want to weep. I don't know if it's a Hardy Heron issue or a FF3 issue or a both issue, but man! Them were some nasty fonts. I'm running it on XP now and it's pretty nice - I usually tweak FF to speed it up but I haven't had to do it all on FF3 and haven't noticed a difference in response times. I ended up disabling the compatibility checks so I could use my mouse gestures addon though, lol. "No MouseGestures update for FF3?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
