You have one tab doing something and it stops the entire program - you can't open a new tab, you can't close that tab.. you can't do anything. My friend said they fixed it in 3 and I haven't seen it yet.. but we'll see... that has, in the past, prevented me from making it my primary browser. |
I've never seen that problem...

Sounds like a Java thing, not Firefox.
I'm more than sure I've visited pages with scripts, but haven't seen any unresponsiveness... *knocks on wood*

Well, that didn't take long....
Firefox 3 Vulnerability Found
Nancy Gohring, IDG News Service
Wed Jun 18, 8:00 PM ET
Five hours after Mozilla officially released Firefox 3.0, researchers found a vulnerability in the new browser.
Tipping Point has verified the bug and reported it to Mozilla, Tipping Point said on Wednesday.
Since Mozilla is still working on a fix, the researchers won't share details about the problem. Tipping Point ranked the severity of the vulnerability as high, but said that users would have to click on a link in an e-mail or visit a malicious Web page before being affected. The issue affects users of Firefox 3.0 as well as Firefox 2.0.
Once the problem is fixed, Tipping Point will publish an advisory on its Web site, it said.
Tipping Point found out about the vulnerability through its Zero Day Initiative, which lets researchers earn cash by submitting new vulnerabilities to the company. Once Tipping Point validates the issue, it pays the researcher for the information and notifies the relevant software vendor of the technical details.
Mozilla did not respond to a request for comment.
Mozilla launched its newest browser on Tuesday along with a marketing stunt that went a bit wrong. The company announced that it wanted to set a Guinness World Record for the largest number of software downloads in a 24-hour period. However, the volume of downloads crippled Mozilla's site, and so customers in the U.S. couldn't begin downloading the software until two hours later than expected. Still, Mozilla said it logged more than 8 million downloads within 24 hours. There is currently no record for number of software downloads in a day, but Mozilla must now wait for review of the stunt by Guinness officials.

Uh, isn't Firefox 3 from Mozilla?

maybe id just go back to the previous version.. |
Actually it's kinda strange - I've found that on some things it's super fast.. on others it takes like 3x longer than I'm used to. I've also ran into some irritating bugs (features?) that stop pages from loading properly and render many existing all wrong. Surely it's not all the browser's fault, and much of it is due to sloppy coding (I have web designer who bitch about this all the time), but if it don't look right and it's a page I access all the time, it's hard to justify.
I have to say though, all-in-all, it's a good experience.. but it's not quite what I hoped I think all the add ins are great, but they don't make up for a so-far mediocre experience with the tool as a whole. Honestly, no browser really does what I want to it to do: render pages correctly and quickly. You can keep your add-ons if you can give me this without reservation.
I somehow doubt it, but maybe MS will come up with something great in IE8. Though, truth be told, for regular browsing, I find IE7 quite comfortable. _________________
