I think that Many plug-in is the main reason users use Firefox.

There is option in the browser to ask for the folder to save the file in. Not sure if thats what you are looking for.

I refuse to pay for any more M$ OS’s, Windows ver. that still use 98se until I get to know FreeBSD. I
was wondering if some time in the near future that you make FF3 available for 98?

I’ve been beta testing your Firefox 3 and I love it! Every major update makes the browser even better. Keep up the great work, I look forward to the end of the testing. You guys always make great browsers.

Well i dont see much diferent in the memory use for now :\

For me the best diference is “The Location Bar”, its very cool the fact that now FF go to bookmark look and showing the icons of the websites is very cool and much more easy ;)

In case it hasn’t been said already, thank you for marking the changes from the previous Beta. It makes finding the minor deltas much easier.

Thank you.

@JimP, repeat keyholes along the navigation toolbar is a bug I haven’t seen but has been already reported and fixed in recent nightlies. Should be available for RC1.

I have multiple back/forward arrows across my screen / don’t see this noted anywhere. ALSO - all of a sudden - favorites are not taking - they are there but if I close out and re-open Firefox, they are then gone.

@ Mirek2
Works perfect for me… Anyway, acid tests aren’t meant to be taken in modified browsers. They are meant for default not modified browsers with standard configuration.

Another bug: When you take the Acid2 test, zoom in too close, and then reset the page to its original size, the page is no longer viewed correctly. I understand that zoomed-in pages don’t pass the Acid2 test, but a page reset to its original should pass it…

Rajesh Pradhan: “Is there a way to organize files into different folders while downloading using download manager? By default it goes to one folder.”

On Windows, go to “Tools”, on Macs, go to “Firefox”, and select “Preferences.” Under “Main”, choose “Always ask me where to save files.”

Sprocket999: ““Mac OS X users get Proto, a new Safari-like theme introduced with Beta 2.”

Oh really? I’m using FF3b5 right now and it still looks like the beta 4 version. (Yes — I’ve switched between large and small icons and restarted the browser a few time). Mind you — I kind of LIKE the Proto version as seen in beta 4(!) — big keyhole and all.”

The theme was INTRODUCED in Beta 2. It underwent changes from then on (so what you see in Beta 4 and Beta 5 is stll Proto). This is not news for one following the FF3 process closely, but it might be for a newbie who just began to look into FF3…

Sprocket999: “I’ve run into that too from time to time. Never had this happen in beta 3 or 4. My workaround is to quit FF and restart. Oh yes, this is on the Mac — I can’t speak to Windows.”

That works. Thanks.

Sprocket999: “Personally, I hope they keep the Home button an option of being on the Toolbar OR the Bookmark Bar, as I’ve gotten quite used to having the Home button on the Bookmark Bar. Keeps the other area cleaner, IMPO.”

Me too…

One of my only issues is that there is still no “Add New Tab” button on the interface. Netscape / Mozilla Suite always had a small button to the left of the tab bar to open a new tab. This has disappeared in Firefox. IE7 has a “New Tab Button” right next to the last tab at all times. Even Netscape Navigator 9 gave you a “New Tab Button” on the toolbar. There is no such thing by default in Firefox, nor is there a way to show/hide the Sidebar easily. Those are my only two issues with this release.

The one thing about bookmarks that has persistently infuriated me, and still isn’t fixed, is the fact that there is no “Folders at the top” option when sorting bookmarks.

It’s simply ridiculous that this still doesn’t exist…

Mirek2: “Another issue: For some reason, I can’t customize the toolbar… Every time I try to drag a button on, it doesn’t work, and every time I try to drag one off, it is pushed, but not dragged…”

I’ve run into that too from time to time. Never had this happen in beta 3 or 4. My workaround is to quit FF and restart. Oh yes, this is on the Mac — I can’t speak to Windows.

Personally, I hope they keep the Home button an option of being on the Toolbar OR the Bookmark Bar, as I’ve gotten quite used to having the Home button on the Bookmark Bar. Keeps the other area cleaner, IMPO.
