FireFox 2.0 RC3 released
 

Ok so I finally downloaded this new versionof FF to give it a try. Color me not impressed so far. The load time problem has NOT been fixed. Time it took load a site.

TEST 1
Pogo.com

IE7- 5 seconds
Opera 9- 14 seconds
FF 2.0 over 2 1/2 MINUTES and even then not everything showed up. Still some missing some graphics.

TEST 2
Buccaneers.com

IE7- 7 seconds
Opera 9- 5 seconds
FF 2.0- 6 seconds

TEST 3
Weather.com

IE7- 7 seconds
Opera 9- 8 seconds
FF 2.0- 11 seconds

TEST 4
Gofuckyourself.com

IE7- 6 seconds
Opera 9- 6 seconds
FF 2.0- 9 seconds

How can ANYONE say this is BETTER and either IE or Opera? Having to waiting 2 1/2 minutes before I can surf a site and then still have broken images? Cache was cleared each time before loading page so no browser had an advantage.

I'm still going to test this out some more but so far not much better than FF 1.5 which isn't saying much. As far as I can gathher FF has a real problem with CSS. Since when I click TOOLS then ERROR CONSOLE all the warnings have something to do with CSS on pogo.com.

Pogo.com loads for me in like 2 seconds.

using firefox 2.x

brothers and sisters....

Are you a member of Club Pogo? Try that page. Point is no problem in IE or Opera only FF. So it HAS to be a FF problem.

no its your system/config problem

im not going to join a site to make a point you said main page i loaded main page thats it :)

Yes it's my system that's why it loads just fine in 2 other browsers. And you don' t have to join anything dipshit.

http://www.pogo.com/home/home-cpdc.jsp?sls=2&site=pogo

loads in like 2 seconds or less.

Loads faster in here...

I'm not talking about that page. Anyone here a member of club pogo so I can get people to get what I am talking about.

did you just not tell me i dont have to join anything ?

DIPSHIT

you must be doing something wrong, (probably some messed up config), most sites load faster in FF for me then IE...

Well first of all it's free to join Pogo. Second I can give you a 5 day pass to Club Pogo for FREE so you can see what I'm talking about, but since you are being an ass I don't think I would.

Explainto me exactly what config I messed up. FF has ALWAYS been slower than IE or Opera. How could I mess anything up? Impossible. How can I mess up downloading and installing FF?

I don't know man, for me it seems faster... you probably didn't do anything wrong, you are just using stock version of ff... I optimized mine, so that could be the reason why it's faster for me...
