On this message board, yeah. If I go to CNN.com or anywhere else, it doesn't...?

Check your default font in Options.

Re: Firefox 3 RC

its not that great same software new interface imo

#1035830Post 49 of 68

Re: Firefox 3 RC

the engine's tweaked a bit...but most new software major versions change the interface...gotta make it look "cool" :lol: :lol:

seriously though, there are some really good new features in this version with bookmarks/tags, remembering information better, etc. And it does give a pick-me-up...

Re: Firefox 3 RC

It's not the same software! I can't believe how fast the Mac-optimised version is, and I thought the 'normal' version was faster than my Mac-optimised FF2!

Re: Firefox 3 RC

the mac firefox looks awesome... the windows one resembles IE7 waaaay too much imo.

they need to release some good themes for the windows version,

Re: Firefox 3 RC

does anyone have any problems with the new ff? it works great and all but it keeps crashing out on me for no reason :(

#1040983Post 55 of 68

Re: Firefox 3 RC

Eh no. What build, what platform? I was running the nightlies on the Mac, then switch to the official release, and 2 optimised versions, no crashes.

Could be your extensions??

#1040995Post 56 of 68

Re: Firefox 3 RC

official release on pc ... havent got it installed on the mac yet but im sure the one on mac is much more stable

#1041003Post 57 of 68

Re: Firefox 3 RC

I guess troubleshooting the extensions is your best option.

[quote=Corven;618025]does anyone have any problems with the new ff? it works great and all but it keeps crashing out on me for no reason :([/quote]

did you install it in the same directory as FF2 or did you uninstall FF2 (without uninstalling settings i.e. favs, passwords etc.) and the did a fresh install of FF3 in the same dir? I know there are huge incompatibility issues of installing FF3 in the same dir as FF2 causing both (iirc) to be unstable.

Have had NO issues whatsoever on mine. Have it running on my XP PC at work, vista PC at home and Ubuntu on my notebook and never once (to date) has it taken a shit on me.

that might be it .. did an install over ff2 ... was trying to make sure that my bookmarks doesnt get wiped

#1041431Post 60 of 68

Re: Firefox 3 RC

did a clean install and it still crashes :(

#1041435Post 61 of 68

Re: Firefox 3 RC

uninstall and try re-installing in a new directory

#1041465Post 62 of 68

Re: Firefox 3 RC

remove the FF registry keys and file paths after uninstalling

#1041807Post 63 of 68

Re: Firefox 3 RC

yep may need to do a complete overhaul on the uninstall.

As for bookmarks being saved, get the Foxmarks plugin...works like a charm :RockOn:

I keep adding onto my nightly builds as well; no major problems or crashes, but a couple little bugs that I'm keeping an eye on and trying to re-create fully...

and thanks for the Vista link; much better now on the theme..:)

Re: Firefox 3 RC

Talking about Fomarks, quite upset Google is gonna stop Google Browser Sync ... while Foxmarks syncs bookmarks, it doesn't sync your other data. And Weave is still too basic I think.

#1041957Post 65 of 68

Re: Firefox 3 RC

Pet peeve about FF: Upon start up and FF tells you there are updates to be installed, you click Install, why do you need to click CONTINUE to continue starting up FF?! That's the dumbest one-extra-cick ever.

Next best one IMO is FEBE, which will do up to a complete Firefox profile backup. Have to get it though from the author's homepage unless it's recently been updated in the add-ons section. Doesn't go online though, so you'd need a flash drive or something to transfer the data around...:what
