They are trying to get into the Guiness Book of World Records with 1 million+ downloads in a single day:

Much better memory management, an intuitive history/bookmark system, and great standards compliance. Show your support for open source projects geeks!

I\'m posting with it now... I can notice improvements already, but I haven\'t used it for very long yet. I had a hell of a time on their website.. it\'s been slammed all day so I had to get it through a direct link. Just up until about 20 mins ago their link to download FF3 was still linking to the latest version of 2.. it\'s fixed now though. Click on THX\'s link to help them break the record though... click below if you can\'t get through their site and are impatient like I am.
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=win&lang=en-US
And I see the new psx3central blogger mainpage is up... I already registered
-
I love Firefox. And THX.
-
which of the two do you love more?
-
Well Firefox didn\'t give him AIDS so I think he may be biased
-
Yes, it\'s very zippy and not raping RAM like 2.0 did.
On a side note, I just tested this in OS X on the Mac and it finally looks and feels like a Mac app, instead of a ported piece of shit. Nice.
-
I like the new bookmark tag. The new back / Previous + drowndown history is neat.
The new speed is welcomed.
overall, it pretty rock :)
-
I\'d like it, if you know, it actually worked. I installed it and it won\'t even load now without crashing.

user error.
-
It\'s hard for it to be a user error when this is what occurs.
Download Firefox 3.0
Install Firefox 3.0
It installs.
I restart.
I load Windows.
I then double click Firefox 3.0
It proceeds to crash.
I disable Visual Themes, thinking that is the problem.
It continues to crash.
I say screw it and go to Safari.
-
Are you using a Mac?
-
No. Using Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Not sure what the problem is. I just done a clean install and it still won\'t load. I\'ve disabled everything and it still won\'t load. It goes straight to the crash report and doesn\'t even give a detail on why it is crashing.
Right now I\'m triple checking for any kind of malware or what not.
-
It is ok... crashed when I went to some porn... er some site that required WMP.
-
firefox has always hated embeded windows media player shit
-
Installed fine for me... Dunno what to tell you LIC.
What kinda crash are you getting? BSOD?
-
I don\'t get it...not much has changed.
-
Thus is life buddy.
-
Fuck you.
-
Mind yer elders.

Just downloaded it. Works great. Don\'t notice anything substantially bigger except its faster and more user friendly. Gonna take a little time getting used to. The new apps for it are awesome though. I have one so when I look at porn, I can just hit a button and it closes it then changes to another website. I also downloaded Flash Killer which is great for myspace since it is loaded with flash programs that crash my browser. I also downloaded Tab Catalog which is pretty cool. It breaks up the webpages into thumbnails and i can click on whichever one i want.

It\'s called the "close" button.
Usually a little red "x" on the top right.

Britney Spears should release a sex tape and smash this silly record for the ages.

Yeah but it looks suspicious looking at my desktop if someone comes in.
-
Check out the URL bar when you guys get a chance. If you vaguely remember the title of the page just type in certain words and FF will bring up pages that match your query.
-

Thats why you have another window open behind your porn with http://www.goodhousekeeping.com up on it. Nothin\' more innocent than good housekeeping.
Think McFly, Think!
-
Is there any way to turn off your bookmarks coming up when you type something similar in the URL bar? It\'s annoying to the point of wanting to go back to 2.0.
-
Thats gotta just be some "history" setting.
-
I take that back... I can\'t find where to turn that off...
-
Try putting \'about:robots\' in the URL bar.
-
Finally done with it. Seems to run slower, embedded videos don\'t work when they did before, and the whole bookmark in url bar. Back to 2.0.

-
Have no problem with it, not that much of a noticeable step above 2.0 but can\'t complain either.
-
Sounds like you suck at using computers, LIC. It runs fine. Opens fine. Are you using some crap ass bootlegged version of Windows?
-
Yeah, I suck at using computers. I can\'t install an application. I can\'t double click an icon. Also - everyone else who has problems, must suck at computers also.
Oh yeah and bootlegged Windoze. That\'s the problem.
Thanks for all your brilliant \' wisdom!
-
Anytime.
-
Anytime.
Where have you been lately? Just so we know where to send you back to..........
-
You\'re so witty. Have my babies, LIC. Gawd, take me now.
You shouldn\'t let the world get to you, man. I was just messing with you. Some of my friends had the install issue as well for no explainable reason whatsoever. I haven\'t had any issues, but seeing as others have, it seems like Firefox 3 wasn\'t quite ready for prime time. I\'m enjoying it, though. Haven\'t had any issues.
You seem very bitter, though. Is that your online persona or are you depressed in real life? Cuz I\'ve never had any problems with you on here. I just think you should chill a bit.
-
I had some issues with 3.0 at first. Ended up being one of my old extensions wasn\'t compatible (it said it was) and it would crash FF3 only on certain websites. Disabled the bad extension and it runs like a champ now :thumb:
-
I have the same issues as Bozco with the damn bookmarks always appearing in the address bar. Also, FF really needs to fix this embedded video crap too.

I sure am glad you came back to waste forum space with yet another one of these posts.
-
downloaded 3.0 and installed it, everything ran fine until my comp crashed.
when I started it up and sat through the scandisk shit, I started FF and found that all my bookmarks had been deleted, along with my RSS feed links.
I tried to import from IE again, but when I did, I found 3 copies of every bookmark, and the RSS links were now in my bookmark folder instead of the bookmarks toolbar.
what made it worse, is that for some reason, it wouldn\'t let me delete them in the bookmark organizer.
the only course of action was to completely uninstall (personal data files too) FF, then reinstall it.
I then had to go through the proceedure of downloading all the plugins I had before, config them all to how I had them, THEN import the bookmarks and re-add the RSS feeds.
must have taken me the best part of an hour to get it back to something like it was before.
oh, and I also have to re-add my passowrds to the password manager, which is annoying as fuck.
-

Oh, so you really are a douche bag and aren\'t ever going to change. I was just checking. Take some anti-hate-the-world pills. You\'re not exactly doing the forum any favors by bitching about everything all the time.
-
Evi you had it coming
-
If you put your hand on the stove you will get burned. Should know that.
Not really sure how that statement is relevant to the conversation but

ok fred

I\'m glad we can all get along here. Such a warm, welcoming feeling.
-
Yeah, no kidding.
-
Minus the fact I haven\'t been a douche lately? You just show up, make a smart ass comment to me and expect me not to call you on it?
Quit your whining and take it like a man...
-
I\'m fine, lol. Take what like a man? The internet! Oh gawd noes!11!111! The "smart ass" comment had no ill intentions. You just make everything worse than it is.
-
ANYWHO....the new Firefox hasn\'t crashed at all yet for me. 2.0 used to freeze a lot with me. I haven\'t had it freeze yet. Maybe I\'m lucky :)
-
FF3 is more stable... for most at least
-
It\'s stable for me and the speed difference is very noticeable. Firefox 3 is definitely using RAM more efficiently now.

Same for me. :thumb:

No. You started the whole smart ass thing. I didn\'t. I simply posted I was having problems with it and you started posting and being a complete and total dick.
-
If that\'s how you took it, you should take the stick out of your asshole. You make everything infinitely worse than it should be. Seriously.
-
So... How \'bout that new firefox eh?
-
How \'bout you shut the fuck up.
-

Yes - yes, I forget. It\'s everyones fault, except yours. No one was arguing, until your stupid ass decided to chime in.
-

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for never really having anything to say.

You do realize when you write posts like this you are writing them for yourself, and nobody else, right?
-
yes.
And I\'m honored you remember.
-
Can\'t we all just get along? :(
-

Dude, didn\'t you use that same line in another thread?
-
No, I did. That was the joke.
-
You\'re a joke.
Thank you I\'ll be here all night!
-
Yes - yes, I forget. It\'s everyones fault, except yours. No one was arguing, until your stupid ass decided to chime in.
Actually you\'re the only one that decided to react like Mr. Grumpy Pants.
:fighting:
My "stupid ass". You\'re the most pathetic person I\'ve ever come across on an online forum. It\'s the internet. Take the stick out of your ass and learn to take a joke every once in a while. I haven\'t seen you take a joke in like 4 years. It\'s long overdue.

Oh god no.
He called me pathetic.
How will I ever survive?
Stand in line, Jack ass. You\'re not the first or last that has a problem with me. But I still didn\'t start anything.
Done discussing this.
Can we go back to how buggy FF3 is now, please?
-
You\'re not the first or last that has a problem with me.
You make it be a problem between us. I still have no beef with you. You just hate me for whatever reason. You\'ve never liked me and I can\'t understand why you just choose to hold grudges even though I don\'t have an issue with you. You can\'t ever be cool with me, you\'re always a dick, no matter what I do or say you\'ll always just be a dick to me. What the fuck is your problem?
Done discussing this.
Agreed.
