Firefox 3 - Download Day

[boiculit]

i installed ff3 this afternoon, and am now back on ff2. i'll give it another shot when there's a plugin to make it look like ff2 again, but for now, i do not like the changes to the interface.

Those were release candidates, the final version was yesterday.

To me there is not much difference to the release candidate and FF3. Both look the same and the browser format is similar.

Just downloaded and installed it. Strangely Zone Alarm didn't kick off about a new/changed program trying to access the net

EDIT: I might have to turn MAP against IE - messages around the site saying the code is optimised for Firefox (which it is - I don't test in IE any more)

Only one I got was to grant it access to the internet. It seems to use the FF2 setting in Zone Alarm to get it onto the net.

But I downloaded the release candidate and it asked, so it could be using the RC to recognise that it is a upgrade on the original and you would not have to bother.

The built in restore session feature is crap - doesn't even work!

I'll wait for a compatible version of TabMixPlus.

What do you mean it doesn't work? Works fine for me, probably a clash of some sort.

DV labs have found a security issue within 5 hours of download. By clicking on a email link to a scrupulous site, FF3 can be compromised.

Mozilla is working on the problem and it is reported in the BBC news that 8 million D/L was done in 24 hours.
