I’m sticking with FF 2.x until more extensions are available for 3.

It’s the only browser I use. Internet Explorer is way to wormy for my liking.

I can’t even get my Yahoo toolbar back on FF3. Or the McAfee Site Advisor. Both are apparently now incompatible. And I tried switching back to FF2 in order to get them, but that doesn’t seem to work. They still won’t add on.

Posting with FF3 now. Overall I’m happy, nightly tester tools keeps my extensions working until they update. I’m not a fan of the new address bar functionality though.

I have been using Firefox for some time now. But in the past week some very obvious changes have occured. I can no longer open YouTube links with Mozilla Firefox. A little box keeps coming up, saying:
“Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe’s Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.”
So - I click the box to download the “NEW” version of Adobe’s Flash player - and get nothing.
Yesterday I sent to the trash, 20 icons from my start up page that were for installing “Adobe Flash Player”.
Something is very wrong and I don’t know what it is..........
So, I am forced to go back to IE.

Have been using FF 3 Beta 5 for a while.
Never figured out if the new one was new or not.

""The notion of going for a world record, as gooky and nutty as it may have sounded, was a really sticky idea.""Gooky"? "Sticky"?
Maybe "gooky" is like "kooky" and "geeky"?
But "sticky" is just Too Much Information...

Great news!!
I started using Firefox around 4 years ago, and haven’t looked back. I expect the Firefox increase of ‘market share’ to continue, because IE7 has to be the worst web browser I have ever seen.

It’s the only browser I use. Internet Explorer is way to wormy for my liking.I use Firefox from a jump drive. The only way to go.

I’m sticking with FF 2.x until more extensions are available for 3.Me too.
Ad Block Plus, NoScript, ReminderFox and Colorzilla. Must haves.

The most interesting thing about that day was on the Firefox download website where it showed the #s of downloads over each country or place on a global map. All industrialized countries has decent showings; when I looked, only the USA was well into the millions, but North Korea had ZERO downloads. No other country had zero. Even some weird islands had more than that.

I just downloaded the new AOL toolbar and Noscript and Keyscrambler adds on they all work now fine in Firefox 3.0 Even ZoneAlarm Forcefield now shows up in Firefox but weirdly, I can't get it to show up in Internet Explorer. So all my extensions have updates and work in Firefox 3.0.

I’m not a fan of the new address bar functionality though.I've heard about that. I've been a FF user for a while but right now I'm in no hurry to go to 3.0.
