Forums - General - Has anyone experienced Firefox 3?

I just downloaded the Release Candidate 1 and seems to be a lot faster! I didn't believe I was gonna notice the difference, but it is very noticeable! Any comments?

It's your imagination.

The memory leak is smaller now thankfully.



^^'' Faster I don't know but I like the design.

You may be right, I've just browsed for less than 5 minutoes, I'll use it throughout the day and post my impressions.



Liking it so far, of course the move was forced upon me because somehow my old firefox was irreparably damaged. But hey atleast now it works.

Fast as hell. Aweseome.

The new url completion tool is crap but I hope there is an about:config parameter and yes it needs a new Skin.

But everything is so snappy I am really pleased. Firefox for the win!



It workz fine. Faster on one hand but also much better in terms of memory usage (it appears they previously had some memory leaks). But Google toolbar does not work on it yet. Cannot translate those Japanese pages with games. Grrrrr.



I'm experiencing a known bug :( with a linux setup.
It sometimes freezes my firefox for up to 10 seconds whilst it accesses the hard drive. Apparently it's a bugbuntu (ubuntu) issue and not a firefox issue but it's still a pain in the bum.



Does it stop the regular freezing when using XP? I'm seriously considering reverting to IE as it actually crashes less for me.



rc1 ran really slow here on linux.
