Who here uses Firefox 3.0 beta 5? email this discussion to a friend?

How many of you use Firefox 3.0 beta 5? I just installed it a few days ago. Overall, I like the new interface and efficiency, especially on linux-based OS's viewing flash. My only complaint is that the mouse2 and mouse3 buttons are glitchy for me. And of course, most of the addons don't pass the compatibility check without completely disabling it on firefox's end. I actually found a hack for that, though... instead of hacking firefox to install any addon (which can be very dangerous), it hacks the addons to pass the compatibility check. If any of you are having the same addon compatibility problem I was, I wrote up a short tutorial on how to hack it like I did:

I will switch to the newest release when it's out of beta.
I really don't want to get rid of FireFTP, though. I love that add-on.

I hear you. When I first used it, I didn't know what do do with myself without my favorite addons. I almost reinstalled the old version. Read the article I mentioned in my first post, though. I wrote a whole tutorial about how to hack adddons to work on 3.0 beta 5. You should be able to get it working.:)

Mozilla firefox is more easy to used rather than internet explorer, I always used it everytime I do searching, internet exploere is too slow I feel numb when I'm using internet explorer,Lol!

I know what you mean. FF is so efficient and easy to use, yet gives you all the advanced functions you could ever hope for in a browser. I feel like such a klutz when I'm on IE.

I am using it for a week or so on my MacBook and apart from 2 add-on that weren't updated/compatible (but that i don't use much) everything works great.

I was really surprised with the visual graphics of this new browser. I don't know if it is the same for all the Operating Systems or if the one I see is like this because it is a Mac, I haven't searched it, but I really like it.

usually I would try to find a new template to use as I never liked the default ones much, but not this time:D

Firefox, for me, is the best browser around and people just keep making it better.

I haven't tried that version. I guess I have to, when that version is already in its full function. I still use version 2.0

Just as a heads up the full version 3 is out now so you don't need to use the beta anymore. You can download the latest release from getfirefox.com

I use Firefox 3.0. Its interface is pretty cool. The only problem with it it crashes often. Mozilla is trying to fix that bug
