It's Probably Me But..........

I installed FF3 yesterday, and in addition to killing all my favorite themes, (incompatible), I was unable to get it to put my bookmarks in alphabetical order(.) or possibly (!) or even (?)
Unable to deal with the embarrassment and feelings of inadequacy, I reinstalled FF 2.0009 from an .exe file and then updated it.

I've tested on two XP Pro desktop at first they seem slow, then gone back to the same speed like prior with 2. I run EPG web server and music server to access from firefox from my network console web access. I also have 10 year old laptop running W2KSP4 that I fixed or rebuild, but it can't run FFX3 so back to FFX2 working again. I'll try Vista Business SP1 later on. I'll see how 3 goes so far.

Downloaded, installed and using it, but not thrilled - it's just a browser. No voting for me.

Firefox 3 is one of the best browser. IE7 is nothing against Firefox 3

I downloaded it, installed it, and I really like it. The only problem is that most of my themes and add ons stopped working but that is quite normal.

I find that it is still unstable. Running on windows even the latest version (3.0.1 I think it is) still crashes now and again, and running under Linux it seems to have some memory leak issues. I had to take it off an old laptop I was running it on because of constant crashes. The laptop is now running version 2 fine. Firefox is also getting much more bloated with every new release, and I only run about 3 add-ons. I may end up going back to version 2 or going back to Opera which I have always had installed but don't use that often.

Never even gave it a look. I don't think I've EVER installed any installation of Firefox on any computer I have used. I use Opera for everything.
