the hell with mozilla. ff3 jacked my computer up. i know HAVE to use opera and i don't like it that much. damn you mozilla. fix my comp

It's ok imo,But it doesn't alow the imageshack add ons. But they'll let you know if the updates are avaiable. Its a lot better then IE.

I tried FF3 at work, and the sound wouldn't work on any of the websites. I finally had to uninstall and put FF2 back in. But it may have been Windows messing with me. I've had a lot of buggy things happening on it, so I finally had to do the flush and reinstall everything. I might try FF3 again later.

I switched about a week ago, and what I noticed is that it takes FOREVER to launch. Anyone else noticed this?
Also, what add-ons do you use/have installed? Over here I have:
- AdBlock Plus
- Download Statusbar
- ForecastFox
- Yahoo! mail notifier
- BugMeNot
- Web Developer toolbar (this one is real handy if you do web development only)

I didn't notice any difference in launch time. The only add-on I have is something to download youtube videos.

WOW i don't like it the one and only is the best!

it now works and i'm happy

Just downloaded v3 today and it's awesome. Much faster and handles pages with a large amount of content much better.

Wish I would have downloaded it sooner :tu
