Is it just me or am I the only one who hates Firefox, overhyped, overworked, and way too much of a memory hog. Renders images soooooooo slow, does not run any faster than IE7 and to heck with those acid tests I don’t believe them. Don’ get me wrong I have used Firefox for many years now but I now wonder why, it pre-loads way slower than IE and that was one of the reasons for switching in the first place. I notice also that downloads which I had originally thought in IE were sooooo slow are actually now slower in Firefox, just watch a download speed in FF and then download the same thing in IE and you will see I am right. The only difference between the two are 1. better security in FF 2. FF usually renders all websites and images, nearly. Other than that I can’t wait for IE8 and I am going back. FF has frozen my computer three different times when clearing the cache rendering my computer inoperable and the task manager cannot even kill FF. Like Google it has gotten way too big for my liking, is that not what all you microsoft bashers were complaining about microsoft about in the first place? What goes around comes around. Bob

The main reason people or atleast I use to use firefox is that it is faster and hangs lesser compared to any other browser. But Firefox 3 has disappointed me in both the parts equally.

Good question. I think the Library is about the user interface while Places is about the whole concept including the back and front ends.

So, if the feature is called ‘Places’, why is the window headed up ‘Library’?!!!!

I downloaded Firefox 3 from mozilla.com, couldn’t update it – as mozilla want us to download the new set up file, while trying to update Firefox 3 rc2 says – AUS: Update XML File Malformed (200) , go to http://www.mozilla.com
Now I am anxiously waiting for Firefox 3.1 – hope to see the location bar and search bar merged together in this new version…

Hmm, can anybody even GET to mozilla.com or spreadfirefox.com in order to download the final ones? I think the (overwhelming and earned) demand just blew all of Mozilla off the internet.
