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.

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".

it's been doing good for me too..from time to time it may act up,but the other Firefox did the same too. when I had AVG spyware thing, it kept "crashing" the Firefox, then when I took it off, nothing happened hardly anymore on crashing.

Mine seems to work fine with my AVG running. :confused:

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

IDK why it kept doing it, it would say something like "Firefox encountered a problem and needs to close" or some crap like that, and it would all shut down. 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:

but if it works for you, that is great!:)

I'm on the 3.0.1 or whatever the update was. Shortly after the release, all of the add ons that I use regularly were updated to work. So-it's been fine.

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.

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.
