corbin Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Firebug doesn't work with it yet . Edit: Oh, I lied... The beta version of it works with 3.5 ;p. *Updates* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I downloaded the beta version of FF 3.5 a while ago, and I found that it had some cool CS3 features that FF 3.0 didn't have, such as drop shadows. I like FF 3.5, but there aren't too many changes... They should add something like chrome, where it has a list of favorites, most viewed sites, etc. when you open up a new tab...

corbin Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yeah hehe.... Errrmmm are any of you all running Windows 7? If so, does Firefox 3.5 open really freaking slowly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PugJr Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Yeah hehe.... Errrmmm are any of you all running Windows 7? If so, does Firefox 3.5 open really freaking slowly? All the FFs do that or are we talking about more than 30 seconds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Oh, I mean really slow. Much slower than 3.0. 51 seconds just now x.x. Once it loads it's fine. It's just initially coming up. New tabs/windows open instantly, and I don't have any addons installed. It's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Maybe since they weren't allowed to ship IE8 with it, they decided to look for any new instance of firefox.exe and add sleep(60000); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Lol.... I wouldn't be surprised, but I somehow doubt it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New tabs/windows open instantly, and I don't have any addons installed. It's weird. FF3.5 is alot quicker for me on Win7. Loads in a few secounds. Although I did do a clean install.

corbin Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hrmmm.... I entirely uninstalled Firefox 3.0.... Perhaps soemthing is left in the registry or something that's messing with it. Or more likely it's something from my ghetto carrying over of my Vista files. (symlinks galore in my AppData folder lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Damn too late to edit... Finally something came up in Google. I guess it was too new yesterday for people wiht similar problems to have already started posting haha. Anyway: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1326105 Basically Firefox likes to read all of the temporary files, which slows things down. I was wondering why there were over a million I/O operations.... It would seem I should clean my temporary files every now and then haha.

ober Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I upgraded this morning. Oddly enough, the auto-update failed miserably. But I've had that happen before. I had to download the full upgrade from Chrome and then run it again. At least I didn't have to start from scratch. Then there was the ordeal of updating add-ons. FF upgrades have always been painful for me... maybe it's my work laptop or something, as my home computers don't have these issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 No, it's not your work laptop. Firefox updates are a bitch for me too. Even minor updates always seem to go wrong for me. lol. I think I just have bad luck and try to make things more complicated than need be though lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is a opera like thingy for new tabs https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4810, not completely chrome like.. but at least closer than what it was. Upgrade for me has been pretty painless under windows.. for linux I'll upgrade my openSUSE milestone 2 to 3 first before updating firefox.

nrg_alpha Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Of the 'speed dial' effects, Opera's is my fav (chrome's is for most visited - which can be useful in it's own right). But sooner or later, everyone is going to mimic everyone, and all the big browsers will basically feature the same things.. only exception is that IE will still be behind the rest with regards to speed, security and web standards.
