Who else is just loving the new Firefox? I sure am! HTML5 support, open video, private browsing. Yeah, I admit, I'm a Mozilla Fan Boy! Share your glee here!

Wow, finally released! Hopefully I don't get the website didn't load, "try again" bug anymore. :beerchug:

I got my download on the first try. I think Mozilla is better prepared for the extra traffic this time. :)

I've noticed that not all sites appear in the Saved Passwords list. For me anyway.
It really doesn't seem any faster than 3. I guess I'm not an enthusiastic supporter, just a user.

Slow, buggy, improper image resizing, badly implemented tabbed browsing and non-secure third party plug ins.
This is a lump of shit just like all the previous releases.

Seems okay to me. I don't get very excited anymore because there are so many fast browsers but FF sure does the job. Even though I like Chrome I always come back to FF. Mostly because I am so use to using it.

I tried it. It doesn't seem one bit faster. In fact it seems much slower than the 2.0 was. It just keeps getting more bloated and slower for me.
Back to Opera.

Yeah, I love my Opera. That's what I use for most stuff, unless I want to use a greasemonkey script. Then its definitely FF, cause gm scripts hardly ever work right in opera.

Seems really fast but I use no themes or plug-in to bloat things any worse. Some sites load instantly.

doesn't seem any faster than 3.0 version. Private browsing doesn't really impress me.

Now it seems slow for me as well. I am downloading some stuff though. Earlier I was just clicking different websites, with no download going, and the pages were loading lightning fast. Like I said, almost instantly. A lot like Chrome does. Doesn't really matter to me though. All browser are fast enough these days IMO.
What sells me is how fast a browser responds when I click the "post" button here at ZP. lol :32:

I'm not a fan of the default setting of having a tab open just like IE. I use FF because it's NOT like IE. I did find the option to turn it off though. I did like it there for the fact that it allows me to see more of the persona I have set. Most of the personas don't display well without an extra bar or something.

They integrated the skin feature as a default which is nice. They also changed how the tabs function, still getting use to the new tabs. They expand away from the tab of the open page, rather than stack at the end.

did i miss something? 3.6 has been out for a while now. hate to say this though, but both opera and (gasp!) IE 8 do a better job out of the box...

Just a new build of 3.6 released. FF may not be the best "out of the box", but all the others have a lot of catching up to do extension-wise.
Pretty much anything you can think of there's a ff extension for.
Chrome is coming out with extension support soon, I figure they'll be the ones who overtake firefox first because of how pervasive the google api is.

I've been hearing that some people have been having problems with this latest version of FF. I haven't upgraded, though a lot of blame seems to revolve around having tonnes of extensions for most of the problems.
