    well, did you download Firefox 3 today?

    I did, several of my favorite extentions no longer work. Like Roboform toolbar.
    But, hey, that's the price of upgrade.

    I did

    and found my favorite theme is not yet compatible. I also made sure I had a copy of the latest version of 2.x just in case. FF3 does seem faster and being able to mouseover the favicon in the address bar of secure sites and see who is providing the secure link is handy.

    They're trying to set a 24 hour download record.

    I downloaded it last night. I'm not using many plugins. The only one i got an error on was a developer tool I rarely use anyway, so no big deal.

    Ok, Curt...the deed is done. No issues with the very few plug-ins, etc., that I use.

    Well I just did the upgrade and since I'm here it seems to work. I can't really attest to faster performance...I'm in the boonies on dialup, for the moment

    Did it within minutes of the alert email.

    So far so good, except I haven't figured the history stuff out yet.

    I'll wait for 3.1 after all you "beta testers" find all the bugs.

    Looks liek a VERY cool browser for the mac....but it seems pretty buggy so far on mine anyway. I have had it crash twice this morning, and it does not seem to load pictures well. But it does look cool, and has some nice features...lets hope 3.1 is released soon
