Firefox keeps recommending that I upgrade to FF3. IIRC, I seem to remember some dissent on these very boards concerning this upgrade. This was a few months ago. FireFox let me down
Are the "kinks" worked out yet?
Should I take the plunge?
Anybody having any issues with FF3?
Thanks, I'll check back after I get back from the "food library". |

Now it's scratch made waffles and bacon time. |

I've maybe had 5 crashes tops from Firefox since switching from IE about 6 months ago. |

Now, it's perfect.

Or "not found" junk Thank god for the restore thing!! But somewhere it was telling me that Firefox was not compatible with the AVG-which sucks b/c I kinda liked that system
I was hoping to pull the whole article up but it is down for some reason...
but here is a quote from the search engine page
...FIREFOX 3 ... The Link Scanner and AVG Toolbar has been known to crash Web Browsers....
alright another link: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/...ernet+Security
but if it works for you, that is great!

| | | | It's not really a plunge. It works fine and isn't much different to the last one visually. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Ontario | | | i used to use it and it worked great for a long time. But now i just use Songbird. FF3 kept closing 30 seconds after it started running, but i messed with it. Songbird does the job just fine and maybe a little better! Besides, i think the browser part of Songbird was modeled off firefox. |

|  | Funkify your Life | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: The Bucket, RI. | | | Anyone using FF3 and the Google toolbar?
I get the same "upgrade now?" message, but when I started the install is said the Google tool bar was not supported. I'm not sure if it meant the Google tool bar or just the version of the Google tool bar I am using.
Is "NoScript" supported as well?
Thanks. |
09-01-2008, 03:48 PM
| | | | Noscript is supported. I don't know why you'd want the Google toolbar, but I'd be surprised if there isn't a version for FF3. |

I have a full version of AVG with FF 2.whatever and haven't had any problems. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
