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.

And, just after posting, I find that the WMP plugin is unavailable for 3.0. 
Time to revert back.

Now you know why you run it side by side. I have to do that with IE especially when visiting MS sites and needing PDF files. But remember, today is the first day out. so plugins will catch up
Yeah, that's what I do. By revert back, I didn't mean uninstall, just launch 2.0.0.14.

Yeah sorry MO.. for plugins.. Disable compatibility and you are set. I really like FF3. I can't believe an open source can actually be a better browser than MS is. I wonder if they start doing an open source OS if it will be better than Windows.... Oh wait... Linux is OS OS and its a pill.. NM!
haha
Anyways.. I really like it... to disable compatibility on the about:config just add extensionscheckCompatiblity to false. and most of them should work fine.

I really didn't think I'd see much difference, but it is much faster now.
No problems yet.

Remember to tweak network settings for maximum speed, such as turning on pipelining etc., as in version 2

So out of the box it is unfinished and slower than Opera and you have to download more to add functionality that is a built-in available option with a default install of Opera, a browers that is both complete and even admittedly faster, yep, confirmed it themselves, Opera is indeed the better choice. Thanks for the reminder of what I already knew Dave, and FF developers as well.

Opera is not as secure, nor is safari for windows

OK Mo, I have installed FF3 in Server '08 x64. I will run it in some real time testing and let you know what I discover. The system is the one in the sig except there is 8 GB RAM instead of 4 GB...
