Firefox Version 3

[Plazzman]

It's out !!! It's out !!! I successfully joined in the Guinness Book of Records attempt and got it downloaded about 3:00 PM EST.

I highly recommend the upgrade to Firefox 3. I have been using it most of this afternoon and early evening. I have noticed a large speed increase, really like the history folder drop down, Bigger back button and have had no hiccups of any kind.

Hope everyone has the success that I have had so far with it.

Just downloaded it about 30min ago. Seems to be everything you mentioned. I don't seem to have the larger Back button, unless that is an option that needs to be enabled.

Same here. Seems just fine so far. We'll see if there's anything substantial changed.

Quite a few popular 3rd party add-ons that were not ready to go; what have they been doing? GOOGLE? Why isn't your browser sync ready for v3?

AdBlock Plus not working!

My AdBlock works just fine; make sure you are using AdBlock PLUS not the old AdBlock. Also; I switched from Google Browser Sync to Fox Marks; I bet it doesn't sync cookies but at least it will do my favs, which is the most important.

How is Adblock Plus related to Adblock?

The development of Adblock pretty much stopped in 2004. When more and more people demanded improvements Michael McDonald came up with Adblock Plus

Nice; glad i found Fox Marks for now.. BUT is there anything similar to GBS that does favs, passwords, cookies, etc all-in-one?


Maybe Mozilla Project Weave?

I tried installing Adblock Plus 0.7.5.4 and it told me it wouldnt work on FireFox 3.0.

Also, Google Browser Sync has been discontinued.
