FF3 works really good, and I only put it on my old computer, which is a dysfunctional piece of crap (About 99% of the time, it doesn't have an Internet connection). I missed Download day, I spent a few days in Houston, and my sister didn't want me downloading anything on her laptop. I'm gonna put it on my new one now.

I get the "not responding" message quite often and it hangs for about 10 - 15 seconds--This is really annoying. Also, the "awesome bar" gets polluted and useless and has to be cleared out every few days.

FF3 is probably the best internet surfing browser out there so far

You sure about that? press, ctrl+shift+del and make sure browsing history is checked. That shouldnt happen. Doesn't happen with me, the only addresses i see are the ones ive bookmarked.

I really like this browser. The only problem I have with it is that it takes a little bit to load when I first turn on my computer (but then again, I think FF2 did the same thing..)

I don't use that many add-ons, I only use about 2 or 3 so that doesn't really get in the way (except when I first installed it a few weren't compatible and I had to remove McAfee siteadviser because it hung FF so much it never loaded)

I have the option checked that clears my history and stuff when I close the browser. Because of this I don't mind the "awesome-bar"

It used to not load at all but that was because of McAfee SiteAdviser. It still takes a little bit to load. It's not instant (like IE does, but im not gonna use IE lol) I dont know why it takes a little bit to load up but I dont really care, as long as it loads

Default Re: Firefox 3

Im pretty surprised this wasnt mentioned here, but ill give it to you guys anyways.

In my line of work all this becomes pretty apparent, but just like any big business they always rush an try to get everything out on the market before other people do, so what you guys didnt know is that right now, there is a huge exploit in FF3 which allows a "hacker" to hijack your session. FF2 is the best and most secure at the time being. There has been no patch either to fix FF3 so i would suggest that people who do important things on the computer stay off of FF3.
