this whole thing was a promo joke. it is really junk atm. all the web pages saying it is junk/wait on it were right. go to filehippo and download the previous version if you don't have a copy on disc. i apologize for giving this release/publicity stunt attention now to redo my ip stack...again...

Works great for me too much faster, less ram usage what else could you ask for?

Could you provide us with those "all those"web pages?

lol,takes twice as long to load pages. even after clearing cache and reinstalling the older FF, and redoing the ip stack, it is the same: crap slow. now i have to delete all traces of FF: what a POS!

The open-source web browser is the fastest and most secure version of Firefox yet. Significant improvements have been made to the way it uses your computer’s resources, so the memory leaks and other performance problems found in Firefox 2 have been stamped out. Text and image rendering have also been improved, and the underlying code for Gecko, the engine that draws the actual web pages on the screen, has been updated. There are also heaps of useful features that have been added for both power users and newcomers alike.

It’s faster than Microsoft Internet Explorer, but it’s not the fastest browser in the world — depending on who you ask, either Safari on the Mac or Opera 9.5 claims that crown. Firefox 3 is also incomplete by design — users can customize the browser, adding additional bells and whistles through downloadable extensions (see our list of recommended extensions for some ideas). But the basic version is powerful and fast enough for us to give it our highest recommendation.

Here’s why we think Firefox 3 is one of the most kick-ass software releases of 2008.

Sorry, got distracted on another forum. Morons need to be reminded every so often that they're morons, had to step in and help 'em out.

I'm running XPx64, OpenDNS, Comcast high speed, router and ethernet. Tor button, forecast fox, and skype button are all working fine. Fasterfox isn't though. Overall, it's running great.

i rest my case...

wow, the older version is way faster here. it takes 5 seconds to load any page of FF3, yet the earlier version is instantaneous. weird.
