Rosco Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 The latest version of Firefox came out yesterday. Anyone using it yet? Thoughts and impressions? I'm just about to install.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 much better than Internet Explorer - though I'm still on 2.98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert J Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sleek and quick. Bookmarks and history are better displayed now with icons and a description of links in the browser url field. Have not looked at the toys/addons yet. RSS feed reader still kicks IE's ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybleaden Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have been testing the test version for a while now and I am quite impressed but I alway have been with firefox. I have had it now for years as I hate IE( have to use it sometimes at work when the suits are watching as we are not supposed to install it. IE has always been difficult to use , full of problems, no tab browsing, pop up hell and just so clunky. Mozilla need a pat on the back for this. The linux version which I use is really really good and better even than the windows on I use at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcy62 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Another vote for Firefox, I used it since day one, and I am using F. 3 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert J Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Another think I like about FF is more of a geek thing. As a web producer I am always looking under the hood of the sites I work on and to see what other people are doing (playing?) with theirs. If you view the page source code, it displays the format nice and in colour so I can sort through the html and javascript - not in notepad like IE.

aparxa Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I don't like the Keep-up-to-date-all-the-time school, but I've never been disappointed by FF. No doubt I will upgrade to 3.0 when the extensions I need are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 the search window has shrunk a bit? it'll take a while getting used to the little doodads on the left hand side and the history search has changed pretty dramatically...

7/4 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I find the Organize Bookmarks set up more difficult to comprehend than the old one. It looks the same to me. Did you folks upgrade from version 1.001 maybe? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
