the fun thing about IE is its built INTO the operating system... when you load windows you're already loading everything IE needs. By running windows you're the one really wasting resources.

RC1 isn't out yet for ubuntu and the standalone download just doesn't work quite right for me for some reason.

I'll wait for it to go gold so my add-ons will work.

which ones? adblock working was the main one I was waiting for but that has been working for over a month now. that, better gmail, ffvp, customizegoogle are the only ones I'm using... haven't found any "dealbreaker" addons other than the adblocker

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. FF3 has changed the way quite a few things work.
I needed to go through my extension and make a bunch of changes before it worked.

It's not up to the FF3 developers to make them work, it's up to the extension developers.

**JustinHM** · 05-20-2008, 09:20 AM

I like it
Web Designer plug in does not work with it
neither do several other useful ones
memory usage is *slightly* better, but there are some cool things with it, CSS gradients anyone?

FF2 isn't too bad, fuck messing with beta software...

Yeah, it may be some time. My point about waiting for gold is that most extension developers wait until RC1 before they start to update.

you're a programmer and you don't know the difference between beta and RC?

Sure, there are some differences between Beta and RC, but it's still buggy software not really intended for public use...

**bronco67** · 05-20-2008, 12:34 PM

I like it, but does anyone know how to get rid of those past addresses that pop up in the url bar(the ones with the star next to them).

I have certain people in my household that don't need to know I've searched for "Rachel Milan's ass" 460 times this week.

**bronco67** · 05-20-2008, 12:38 PM

Wait, actually its my bookmarks. WTF?

**brandonstills** · 05-20-2008, 01:15 PM

I can't run web developer on it. Really pissed me off.

have you ever used a windows release? Microsofts idea of "gold" is roughly the equivalent of what should truly only be an RC.

THEN to top it off I sure hope you're running Vista so we can give you the GOLDEN dumbass award.

**Thurbs** · 05-21-2008, 12:08 AM

adblockplus + searchstatus is all i need .. not sure if the latter is compatible yet.

no. This is why I'm waiting.

**V_RocKs** · 05-21-2008, 01:11 AM

release candidate 5 is better...

**Klen** · 05-21-2008, 03:39 AM

I cant belive there are still people who uses internet explorer.

infact most people use internet explorer. prob because it works and doesn't suck memeory back like a hooker on crack

**CherryV** · 05-21-2008, 06:31 AM

I thought it was faster and real sleek but like everyone said I cant get any extensions to work with it so I rolled back to FF2

**fisheyecore** · 05-21-2008, 07:33 AM

I was 100% joking with Smokey. I hope you don't see a problem with that either.
