Firefox 3

[dg]

It's out. Go download it and be happy.

Mozilla is almost completely down, but I refreshed for minutes straight in order to get in and find a link.

Enjoy. (http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=win&lang=en-US)

[Heathen]

Whens download day again?

Whens download day again?

[JunkfoodMan]

+ rep for the link dg

Oh looks like Mozilla is coping with the load now.

The main page (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/) should work now.

[supersniper]

Meh I have the beta right now. I wonder if it looks any different.

It looks no different than the betas or release candidates, but internally it is much more stable.

[Corndogman]

I like the performance increase a lot. normally having 3 tabs open would use like 130mb of my RAM, now it only uses around 60. very nice.

I don't like the new look though. Its not that different but the new navigation toolbar buttons are ugly.

[Kornman00]

ow it only uses around 60. very nice.

Korn, you are such a failure.

In other news, I upgraded to Vista today and I was pleasantly surprised to see Firefox taking up only 73MB with 8 tabs open.

n u


I have four open and its eating up 121megs. MORE THAN VISUAL STUDIO!!1!

I can't wait to upgrade!

[Limited]

So, if I have the betas/release candidate do I still need to download this?

Yes, you need to download the final straight from Mozilla - you need to count for the record!

Meh I have the beta right now. I wonder if it looks any different.It shouldn't, but depending on what Beta you have it may look crisper (I know there were problems with the first beta release, it had rough edges on a bunch of stuff)


Its not that different but the new navigation toolbar buttons are ugly.Only for you Windows people (they just made some crappy theme, OOo did the same thing for their 3.0 release, only theirs looks better), for Mac and Linux users we have our own native icons. Though yeah, go get a new theme, I've heard the complaints about the Windows one.

Also, 4 tabs, 11.7% of my RAM.


SpreadFirefox is also back up.

So, yeah, when I was at BK getting my 9-pc chicken fry and strawberry 'shake, there was this chick with a Firefox shirt.

[Kornman00]

udgi? I was making a joke about FF 2.0's "mysterious" ram whoring, then celebrating good times of the news that it doesn't whore so much


there was this chick with a Firefox shirt.
you forgot to answer the #1 question that everyone will ask:

Was she a foxy lady :pervert:?

:( No, she was kinda hefty (but not quite overweight).
Foxy ladies don't go to BK for Lunch.

[Arteen]

Oh, so that's why Mozilla was down earlier today. I'll have to make sure to D/L this later. Hopefully it's compatible with the handfull of add-ons I have.

If your addons aren't compatible, you can force them to install using another addon.

[DaneO'Roo]

Fucking awesome.

[FireDragon04]

I like it. The new interface is nice too, i was a little unsure when i booted it up (20mins ago) but I'm enjoying it much more now...and yea it's faster :)

[p0lar_bear]

Ugh, this killed my Firebug extension. :saddowns:

e: Also, where's the DOM inspector? Wtf.

[StankBacon]

any way to remove this?

i knew how to do it in 2, but cant figure it out, and google isn't helping.

There should be, if not, it would probably be a good idea to demand it. I'm searching about:config at the moment.

[Ki11a_FTW]

just installed it. Seems nice.

[Reaper Man]

Tis nice, but the fact that I can't hide the tab bar when there is a single tab open really irritates me.

[Corndogman]

I just noticed a feature that i think is new, but I'm not sure. you can grab an image and drag and drop it to your desktop/where ever you want to save it. That's pretty neat.

edit: Reaperman, go to options under the "tabs" tab and uncheck "always show tab bar."

Sounds like something that I remember seeing in linux.

[Syuusuke]

2 tabs @ 90 mb

I blame add-ons.

Developers! Developers! Developers!

[SuperSunny]

I'm not sure if it was in one of the Linux distros I've tried, but OS X has this too.

[UrKungFuSux]

Are there any good Firefox 3 compatible themes?

[Reaper Man]

edit: Reaperman, go to options under the "tabs" tab and uncheck "always show tab bar."
First thing I tried, wasn't ticked. The tab bar disappears for a fraction of a second then it just pops back into existence, weird. Even when I try to close the tab that's open, same thing happens with the bar.

Even when I change the tab hiding options in about:config autohide and force hide, it just doesn't work. Maybe it's one of my add-ons doing it (I have a tab hiding add-on I use to hide stuff when teachers are lurking)

E: Fixed, it was one of my add-ons doing it.

[Corndogman]

I prefer to keep the tab bar there anyways, makes it easier to open up a new tab real quick. just right click new tab.

[Edward Elrich]

or even easier, double-click the open part of the tab bar.

And it's much smoother and faster than the the older version or IE, so Firefox FTW

edit: and if the main page is not working (as was the case for me) go here (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html) and click the "US" link, unless you feel like getting everything in another language...

[Reaper Man]

Or just middle click or ctrl+click (command+click on mac)

[Kalub]

Anyone else having problems installing addons/updates? Mine always fail to install with an error code, and then FF says to restart for the effects to take place, which I do, and then when it restarts it says to restart it again.


was-de-fuch?

[Corndogman]

maybe you should try restarting.

[Patrickssj6]

This is soooo :awesome:

[t3h m00kz]

It looks freaking sweet but it keeps crashing when I look at my E-mail in iGoogle

[klange]

Getting pretty close to 6 million downloads, and still moving rather fast at around 5000 a minute.

[Edward Elrich]

Anyone know offhand what the record is that Firefox has to beat? (or is this starting a record for someone else to beat)

[NullZero]

Pretty impressive! Was using the firefox beta (release before final) and I noticed that the memory firefox used halved which is pretty awesome.

Kudos to Mozilla for such a fine program.

[Jelly]

They're setting the record, since nobody's tried it before.

[supersniper]

... so what is the required amount for them to set it?

[Kornman00]

... so what is the required amount for them to set it?
whats the record they're even trying to set, most downloads of a single program in a week :s?

nvm: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord/

[supersniper]

So they were reaching 8 million.

[Gamerkd16]

If your addons aren't compatible, you can force them to install using another addon.
Which one is that?

And I love this image drag/drop feature. Makes life so much easier. I'm just glad my errors are fixed. I use to have these errors where in text boxes on Firefox 2.0 it wouldn't copy/paste at times. Or the cursor couldn't move left or right. Or the tab's wouldn't open at certain times. I'm just glad all those errors are all gone.

^ I could have sworn "couldn't" was a real contraction. And yet Firefox picked it up as a spelling error.

[supersniper]

Same with the word doesn't. I had to add it to the dictionary. couldn't

[Heathen]

Well FF doesen't work on my comp....just crashes instantly.

If anyone can help me please pm me.

[dg]

8 million downloads in the first 24 hours is a lot.

That is seriously astounding.
