DEFINATELY!

So far it isn't bad. I would like to see the IE tab support take off fairly quickly though.

You might want to take another look at that before the hammer falls.

Being a fairly recent Firefox convert, I notice that 3 seems to run a little better than the prior version I had. Things like Ebay would max out the CPU usage according to Task Manager, and it would freeze up periodically. That seems to have all but gone away. There's a few things I find a bit annoying, but overall I'd say it's not worse, which is always a pleasant surprise when updating. Missing the Adblock addon already though.

ah.  yes.  well i hadn't thought about the brooge of "unfiltered" search results people in here.  my bad.

 

use filtered results if you just want to see scarlett and don't want to see a bunch of people going at it with other people.

sheesh.

Mozilla Firefox 3.0 Vulnerability

A number of people who monitor our Zero Day Initiative's Upcoming Advisories page noticed yesterday that we reported a vulnerability to Mozilla (ZDI-CAN-349). Taking into account the coincidental timing of the Firefox 3.0 release, many are asking us if this is the first reported critical vulnerability in the latest version of the popular open source browser.

What we can confirm is that about five hours after the official release of Firefox 3.0 on June 17th, our Zero Day Initiative program received a critical vulnerability affecting Firefox 3.0 as well as prior versions of Firefox 2.0.x. We verified the vulnerability in our lab, acquired it from the researcher, then promptly reported the vulnerability to the Mozilla security team shortly after. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. Not unlike most browser based vulnerabilities that we see these days, user interaction is required such as clicking on a link in email or visiting a malicious web page.

While Mozilla is working on a fix, we wont be divulging anything else until a patch is available, adhering to our vulnerability disclosure policy. Once the issue is patched, we'll be publishing an advisory here. Working with Mozilla on past security issues, we've found them to have a good track record and expect a reasonable turnaround on this issue as well.

I like the new version.


Now, Piclens is nice..its like the I-phone interface.

However, for youtube its got an issue that it doesnt show the full name of the file. Anyone watching a tv series or stuff knows that there are many fake videos plus if you search for seriesname episode 23 1/5  youtube will only search for the first 2 keywords and show you all results .. so you end up with episodes 1-100 and you have to scroll to find the one you need.

I got sick of the last Firefox browser I had it ended up being as buggy and prone to locking up as frigging IE.... so I converted to Opera.

How do the two stack up together? Opera's mouse gestures are magnificent and I've much prefered this to my last version of Firefox (as much as I did like Firefox when I first got it).

here is what they say they got on DL day.


 

Thanks to the support of the always amazing Mozilla community, we got more than 8 million Firefox 3 downloads in 24 hours. That’s more Firefox downloads than we’ve ever had in a single day -- an impressive feat indeed!

Please be patient while the good people of Guinness review our World Record attempt. This might take a few days so please check back here. And, a huge thanks for all of your support!

Firefox 3 is pretty cool. I don't know if any of you notice this, or maybe it was available in Firefox 2 and I'm just stupid, but you can click and drag links into tabs.
