loadedstatement said: NJ5 said: OK, I'm using it. My opinion after less than a minute of using it is that it seems slightly faster.   Slightly?  Its MUCH faster.  And uses much less memory.

Glad to see they've solved (or reduced) the memory issues, I remember when browsing for a few hours meant hundreds (or thousands) of MBs of memory occupied.

Yeah, it seems much faster indeed. Hope it stays this way :)

 

It looks nice, doesn't seem to much faster though.

I did it as well, no crash or anything so far... Looks damn good and probably is!

So what's the record they want to break?

It's currently at almost 1.9 million.

- It's faster.
- It doesn't slowdown scrolling on pages with SWF's anymore.
- There are some odd artifacts that are left on the screen from extensions I've added (clock, greasmonkey, NoScript).
- It sucks that download manager doesn't work (yet).
- But the main thing is it works the same (I can do the same things) and it's faster.

So far so good. Between this and installing clearmem and lasso yesterday it makes it seem like I added memory to my computer.

LOL.

Do we have to reach a specific number of downloads in order to set the record?

This is the first record attempt of its kind so there is no set number. We'd really like to outdo the number of Firefox 2 downloads on its launch day, which was 1.6 million. Let's shoot for 5 million--the sky is the limit!

It's easy to "break" a record when the record doesn't exist yet :P

 

Downloaded it at 12:00 today, I was making sure someone else didn't make a thread already...

But why limit it to "Mozilla Users", you should have made a title that appeals to everyone. Some people still use IE, believe it or not.

Fixed ;)

I think I read today that IE has 74% marketshare, and Firefox 14%

 

I just did this morning...

Upgraded to 3.0 a few minutes ago, and it all seems good so far. One thing though. When I started it up for the first time, I had no forward or back buttons on the tool bar. I had to add them myself. Not a biggie, but odd none the less.
