  • Firefox 3 - Who already has it?

    Well, today is another big day for Mozilla, as the newest version of the popular browser has been put out, combined with an attempt to get in the Guiness Book of World Records for most downloads within a 24-hour period (which seems to be working as SpreadFireFox.com is already suffering from all those downloads).
    I have already downloaded it, and so far it's working fine. Sites are loading faster than in FF2, the new taskbar is excellent, and the most important Addons (AdBlock and NoScript) are working fine as well. Only downside is that FF is still a ressource hog, though not as bad as 2. Anybody else have it yet?

    Had it for about a week, and agree on all accounts. Just makes me even more of a Firefox guy.

      I have it @ work, haven't downloaded it at home.

      I'm more of an IE person, although I do use FireFox because of Adblock Plus which keeps the annoying pop ups away on various forums.

          Ok - so I am going to sound like a complete newb for saying this - but I have always had IE, should I go to Firefox? What are the advantages? I looked it up on Wikipedia - but was wondering how you guys compare the two and which you guys prefer.
          Whatever is necessary, is never unwise.

            Only one person in Niger has downloaded it so far according to their map. He must be feeling pretty awesome right now

              I had it, but deleted it after seeing, that my most used add-ons are not compatible. I have to wait until then. But, it's clearly faster!!

                Is it able to scale webpages now as easily as IE7. I love the zoom function in IE7.

                    I downloaded it yesterday at work. I didn't have electricity at home due to a storm but I'll get it at home tonight.


                    Here's a counter of the worldwide downloads. Currently over 6.3 MILLION.

                        3 hours later and its 7.2 million . Wonder whether they'll manage enough to have the world record.

                            I'm completely sold on FF. Version 3 is amazing!

                              One download at the office, and another one at home.
