Anyone trying it yet? I've got it up and running~so far so good; thought I'd try it out on the mac before trying it on the pc

Still in testing~add ons not available yet~boy these site ads are annoying, aren't they? Thank goodness for Mozilla & Safari Ad Blockers

I 've been using it since b4. So far I'm very impressed. The GUI is more intuitive and very stable.

I've used it both on Ubuntu and Windows.

I had it installed for a bit, but it disabled my back button on my mouse, so I removed it until the issue was fixed. I'll get it again when it's officially released.

I have it running on a Mac and Windows XP Pro. I love it! It seems very stable and runs pretty fast. Definitely a thumbs up!

 

[Praise_God]

yes good stable version....

Firefox 3 (Release Candidate) Release Notes
Released: May 16, 2008

Memory usage: Several new technologies work together to reduce the amount of memory used by Firefox 3 over a web browsing session. Memory cycles are broken and collected by an automated cycle collector, a new memory allocator reduces fragmentation, hundreds of leaks have been fixed, and caching strategies have been tuned.

I stopped using beta software a couple of years ago but will likely upgrade to it shortly after it goes gold.

 

[s3ph]

I've been using it in Vista, XP, and Linux and all is well thus far.

I'm going for it tomorrow (June 17th) to help set the world record! (I'm a sap, I know)

 

[pgp_protector]

Well it's the 17th.
Just finished downloading it.

 

[sphsjags]

Me too... I mainly use Firefox for homework and YouTube

Hmm glad I could remove the new folder most visited links, I've got my short cuts, I don't need another set for the same thing

Yah, I got rid of it too. Just right click and delete.

I've been using it since beta 3 I believe. It certainly has come along way. The only two things it really seems to hash up are MySpace, which isn't too much of a problem, and any emails from eBuyer. Other than that I can't fault it.

 

[sphsjags]

I like FireFox's icon...

I just downloaded it today and I love it, theres a lot of great stuff for it and it kept most of my old plugins.

Also it helps block banner ads

 

[sphsjags]

They don't have updates for some of my plugins yet...
