Firefox 3

Okay so I updated and I can indeed say that it is better. Here's some tips for those of you afraid.

1. Look for your disabled extensions directly at mozilla, they're prolly in beta, but most of them work.

2. Session Saver works. *G* It won't import your sessions though. But don't fear.

3. bleah.

4. This version of TabMixPlus (scroll through) ( Read more... )

LJ Login is the reason I DLed but haven't installed v.3. Until we have an update for that, I can't even contemplate switching, because RPing is a bitch. Posting isn't so much a problem because I use Semagic.

Yeah semagic solves most of the multilogin problems (except for MF *G*) so I'll deal. I suspect a month and most of the tiny annoyances will be fixed.

I gave FF3 a try, and was very happy with it until I tried to view my lj. The scrolling was for crap, very jumpy and uneven. Apparently this is a recognized issue with fixed backgrounds in CSS. And probably not helped by the fact that my home computer is an older one.

I was rather irked by it. Am now back to 2.0.

Huh, I didn't notice the scrolling at all, but my PC is v.v. new and I style=mine everything and my style is probably not so complex. I suspect you'll be back in a month max. Because I'm VERY happy with it, already I can tell the smaller memory footprint.

That's what really bugs me. It uses less memory and resources and that would be ideal, needless to say. But I refuse to un-fix my background image in LJ. The circles amuse me, every single day.

I've read through the mozilla forums and quite a few people mentioned having this problem on various sites. So it's a known issue. I'll be waiting until it's fixed, hopefully sooner rather than later. .

Heh. Well. To be honest, considering how NOT buggy it is for a major new release, I'm inclined to be slackful. But I think that if not mozilla, someone will have an addon somewhere as a temp fix soon. B/c geeks are impatient.

I likes my FF3. I especially like the fact that it actually quits when I tell it to, rather than just closing all the windows and then hanging around until I tell it to quit again like FF2 used to do.

The smaller memory is ververy nice, especially for those of us who run 3 or more different profiles of FF at the same time. Fandom, what have you done to me?
