FIREFOX 3.0 - AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE!


Firefox 3,
it's not for me.

between me & you,
I'll stick to 2



I downloaded Firefox 3.0, but soon regretted it, there are lots and lots of bugs and assorted irritants in it, and if you are a blogger using Blogger.com, then Firefox 3.0 will really make you tear your hair out!

No doubt, there are some pluses, but they are far outweighed by the minuses!


If you don’t believe me, try it out for yourself.

I am a Firefox fan, but Version 3.0 sucks big time.

I have deleted it, and reverted to using IE 6 and Firefox Version 2.0 which are both absolutely fine for me.

When Firefox 3 has had all the kinks ironed out, I may give it a second chance.


Cave

- Beware!

Like what? I've been using is since RC1 and so far it's been pretty awesome. The new address bar has actually increased how fast I can check out sites.

Even though I don't see what the big fuss is about getting it, I also don't see what the hoohah is avoiding it.

Kamiroroshi, many thanks for your comments.

To each his own experience, mine has been that FF3.0 is worse than FF2.xx, however I agree the FF3 speed is generally better overall, there are some excellent new features, but for me it is not ideal, so I dumped it.

I use FF2 99% of the time, and FF2 is without a doubt far better than IE6 (I haven't tried IE8.)

Cheers.
