2.0.0.15 also works with the portableapps.com version of Firefox.

Has anybody experienced a "pause" while working online in FF3? I have noticed that from time to time Firefox just stops in its tracks, as if pausing to collect its thoughts. It's different from the "(Not Responding)" error. I notice this happens whether I do or do not have other apps running, and if I do they keep on working. IM, weather, online radio, all keep going, so I know the issue is with Firefox and not my computer.

I notice this issue while typing, while surfing, and while merely staring at a screen. After a moment or two, Firefox will appear to have "collected its thoughts" and continue working. I don't really have any true problems with this, it's just a minor annoyance and my only complaint (if you can even call it that) with FF3. In all other regards, this is a mature, robust and stable program.

Just got your newsletter in my inbox. Your review of FF3 described FF2 very well! When more than a handful of those 5000 add-ons and themes are compatible I may try again. Until then I'm not wasting my time. Call me in 6 months...

I upgraded to Firefox 3 and no matter what I did it would not remember any of my Usernames or password. So I went back to Firefox 2. I hope they can get this bug fixed before they dc support for version 2.

No rush to FF3 here, I'm also waiting for some plugins to be compatible. Remember, the plugins are typically written by many independent folks, so there may be a significant delay for some of them to be upgraded.

Wow, I must be really lucky. Except for those autistic pauses, my Firefox 3 is working great, and so are all my add-ons. Cheer up, guys, this whole 3.x adventure is just getting started.

ff3
the only prob I have had is FF3 does not like Threatfire. Firefox just locked up until I went into safe mode and removed it. once Threatfire was gone all good

Hey guys! Version 3.0.1 is out!

Now I, too, get to experience the joy and wonder of incompatible add-ons
