Firefox 3.0

Pirate Bill · 06-19-2008, 09:16 AM

Firefox 3 (beta) came pre-installed on Ubuntu 8.04 that I've been trying out. Since, at the time, none of my favorite add-ons worked with it I immediately didn't like it. So I downgraded that machine to Firefox 2. And now that I've been hearing about several problems with Firefox 3 I'm going to continue using 2 until all the bugs get worked out.

(And, just yesterday, I downgraded the same machine from Ubuntu 8.04 to 7.10 because I'm not entirely sure I even like some of the changes in 8.04. But that's the subject of another thread.)

For those of you having issues with gmail, have you tried installing this plug-in?

Also, certain add-ons have been found to slow down FF3 (Fasterfox and
Firebug are two that come to mind) so consider uninstalling them. Try starting the browser in safe mode to see if it runs any faster. If so, then it's definitely an add-on that's causing the speed problem.
