I was in on it, made the thread in the forums to get people to pledge. FF3 is way better than FF2 or any other browser.

I wish Microsoft would do the same thing so I don't have to be IE 5.x and 6.x compliant any more. The fact of the matter is, I don't give a **** anymore for IE 5.x and 6.x users. If a client complains that user x cant see some stuff. I say "let user X upgrade his old browser"

And recently I have put in a < IE7 mode on the web templates that only shows some sort of "First upgrade to: ie7.x or Firefox 3.0" page.

I did for two test environments, waited to dl for my main environments until all of the add-ons I use are supported.

(still no tab mix plus!!!!!!!!! why!?!?!?!?!)

FF. The first viral browser? Personally, I don't like it.

Wonder how this compared to when something like vista hit the torrent sites.

wuyanxu · 4th Jul 2008, 20:43

my FF3 feels much lighter than my old FF2.

wongy2803 · 4th Jul 2008, 23:15

have to agree ive noticed since using ff3 that my system is more resposive when multitasking, with multiple tabs open in ff3, when compared to ff2

proxess · 5th Jul 2008, 02:11

my FF doesn't crash like FF2 did when i was soft-porning on HI5 with multi girl tabs

thermalnightmare47 · 5th Jul 2008, 14:21
