Please note: We do not recommend that anyone other than developers and testers download the Firefox 3 Beta 4 milestone release. It is intended for testing purposes only.

If you wish to also keep Firefox 2.x, you will need to make a new profile.
See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles

I think Firefox 3 will be a great upgrade on Firefox 2,
but will wait till rc1 comes out before I download it.

I've had it on PC #2 for several weeks and it's worked so good I decided yesterday to put it on PC #1.

IE Tab has already been updated for it, so I thought "OH why not?".

The install went off without a hitch and I was surprised it DID NOT over write version 2.0.0.12, which was still intact and untouched. I elected to just go ahead and remove the older version, just to eliminate any confusion. I"m using v. 3.4 as we speak. The only difference I can note is the Back/Forward buttons and other little icons in the toolbar are changed, in shape and size. No biggie!

For us who like to hop on the latest and greatest, it's a good program.

Cheers Mates!

Right, thats good Doc.
What other Add-ons are you using with Ff 3 b4 ?

Two I would miss would be Adblock Plus
and Tab Mix Plus.

I'm not real big on Add-Ons.
I think that's something that can be greatly OVER DONE!

I get only what I really need.
I currently have AdBlock+,
NoScript and I.E. Tab

The first two are just to keep the dam'd ads from this forum from taking over my screen. Twisted Evil

This is the worse forum out of a dozen or more that I work, for the blasted ads wanting to take over my screen. Evil or Very Mad

God, I hate that!!!! Twisted Evil

I would agree with you that it is a vastly different forum with AdBlock Plus. Laughing

Well I'll try Ff 3 b4.

But first I will backup my profile using the Add-on FEBE just in case.

The FF beta, WILL NOT overwrite FF 2.0.0.12.

Give it a try.

Spent about 20 minutes trying to find the Back/Forward buttons. Crying or Very sad

Realised, eventually, that they are on the navigation toolbar
which I do not use. Embarassed

So opened that bar, pulled them up to top bar, and closed the navigation bar.

Talk about noob's

Well, had 2 crashes, after scratching the head for a while, decided that I had downloaded the wrong version,[English-US].
So uninstalled that, rebooted, and downloaded the English-English version that my Ff 2 was setup for.

Now that's better.. Very Happy

I'll wait until the final version is released, mainly because I have about 80 add-ons and not all will be compatible with FF3 yet. Also, I've found that the first few releases of a new version for Linux can be a bit buggy. That's probably due to the fact that there are more than 1,000 variations of Linux that it has to work with, while there are only half a dozen or so versions of Windows they need to test new releases on.

BTW, FF2 has just been updated to v2.0.0.13. A few security fixes in this one.

kenmabmcc

80 Add-ons, wow Shocked

Your personalised Firefox must be approaching IE in size Laughing

How much memory do you have installed in your Linux machine ?

Thanks for the heads up on the security updates for Ff2.

Like that female comedian likes to say, "Can we talk?"

You know of course that a Celeron is the lowest performance CPU that Intel makes. It's the Yugo of the CPU world! (very low, or NO cache) Laughing

And that RAM! Way below minimum standards for XP.
Or are you still running Windows 98?
768 megs ain't bad for '98. Rolling Eyes

Guys and dolls, PM me if you'd like to donate to SeaEagles RAM fund. Wink

Just joking, of course.... more or less Twisted Evil

Y'all have a great day now, Y'hear?

You know of course, that I was just kidding.... right? Laughing

But thanks for the rundown anyway.
All my customers run some version of MS Windows, so I'm pretty well stuck with that OS. (both XP and Vista)

Cheers Mate!

OH....being retired myself, I'm very familiar with pensions.

Probably 90% of my customers are also on some kind of pension.
Many get multiple pensions and live quite nicely.

The secret to living good on a limited pension is to find something that you can do to supplement your income.

Some do tax returns for other people,
some pick up aluminum cans along the road,
some buy and sell merchandise over the internet,
and some have turned their computer hobby into an income,
doing repair work for friends and neighbors.

ME? I just fix peoples computers.
It's what I've done most of my adult life, so it just seems the obvious thing to do.
On my OFF days, I just sit here, saving money and harassing people on the internet. Wink

Too bad you're not in my neighborhood..... I could fix you up with a much better computer. Rolling Eyes

Cheers Mate!

If you are happy to pay for the shipping from Florida to Sydney, I might take up your offer of a better computer. But taking it to you for service could be a problem for me. Laughing

I'm quite happy with what I've got at the moment. After all, you don't need a Ferrari if you just drive to the local shops each week. I might look at upgrading next year - there's a great little computer shop down the road near Sydney Airport that sells PCs at near cost. He makes his main income from system administration, repairs & website building, and sells PC systems just as a sideline. Sometimes "the little guy" can do a much better deal than the big conglomerates, and this is one such case.

The good thing is that he has no problems selling PCs without an operating system pre-installed. It's hard to get a "naked" PC through the major stores these days.

I supplement my pension by earning money through my wallpapers site. It makes me about $50 a month at the moment (but is rising). That covers the cost of my Internet access, and I have also learnt a lot about HTML coding in the process, which will come in useful as I plan on building discount websites for those on low incomes as a sideline.
