i have installed this beta version to see how it coped particularly with chess.com.

happy to relate no problems thus far. ver 3 should be on general release soon but at the moment i would not recommend it for any non-techies.

anyone esle tried it out yet?

how do you get it,i getting annoyed with being kicked off every game

Yep, ive been using the beta version since it was released a month or so back? A few days ago they released the RC2 candidate which fixed a couple of issues.

Overall it is much faster with page load times which i found very helpful here. The only downside is that most addons dont work as their devs will wait to update them once Mozilla release the final version.

Ye can get the RC2 version here if ye like

hi pistoleer that is the version i got thanks.

I dont use any addons so i didnt really anticipate any probs

Yes the only reason i uninstalled firefox 3 beta is that it doesnt take my favourite addons.

 

I hear ye normajeanyates. Ive really missed my favourite addon, del.icio.us bookmarks..but..they finally released an update for it today!

have you guys noticed that when you use f11 to go fullscreen it now rolls the tabs offpage as well. is there any way to stop this function?

hmm not easily thats fer sure.. The only thing i can think of is to edit yer user config file.. not sure if ye have done this before, but here is a link to some info about it. If i get time later ill have a fiddle, ive not edited it for ages

thanks buddy i have bookmarked your link and will check it out later

wahey i worked it out!

ok.. in yer browser location bar put..

about:config

Then click ok to acknowledge thats it dangerous heh

Then scroll down looking for..

browser.fullscreen.autohide

Doubelclick where the value is set to true. This will change it to false.

Now try F11 and full screen should leave the nav bar and tabs there..

magic thank you so much Now back to your sparrow raising duties
