Firefox 2 To Firefox 3 - Is It Worth Upgrading? - Let's settle this matter once and for all.

i see there's no add on "unplug" for firefox 3, it's not good for me, i really need that, because it's a simple thing to grab any media in firefox, hopefully the new seri will be published soon..

Well this is not problem of firefox since firefox crew is not responsible for the plug ins and so on. This is reply to the previous respons.

On the other hand I really like firefox 3 if I leave it open all night long memory leakages are a lot less then in the case when firefox two would run on the computer for all night long. So you see it has some madvantages as soon as people start upgrading plug ins and plug ins repository becomes larger then peolpe will enjoy firefox3 even mroe.

I haven't read this topic in details so I don't know but interesting thing would be to know that firefox three is not sequel of the firefox 2 but instead of the firefox 1 biggrin.gif

I think the awesome bar in firefox 3 is worth the upgrade alone! Forget about having to remember strange url's for all your favorite web sites or places of interest, all you have to do is type in what you are looking for (i.e. free web hosting) and it will search your history to give you a list of all the free web hosting sites you have visited before ordered by how often you have visited them. Has saved me many, many times!

for my case, i think that firefox 2, is more complete than firefox 3, in terms of stabily.                                              
                                                                                

I know that in most of the features firefox 3 is better than its predecessor, but i think that they hurry up the last version and did not take the time to fix some bugs that makes firefox 3 a pain in the neck sometimes.                                                                      
          
                                                                                
                                      
Now I have firefox 3 installed in my PC, and its my default browser, but i have to admit that sometimes i have to go back and use IE7.            
                                                                                
                                                                                
                  
Greetings.

It appears that Mozilla are going to push Firefox 2 users to upgrade to version 3. You're gonna get a message appearing telling you to upgrade, although there will be an option to stay with version 2. Just remember that, come December, version 2 will be unsupported and you'll have to upgrade anyway. The idea is to push both users, and extension/theme writers, to use version 3.

Firefox 3 is beyond amazing, it kicks Firefox 2's sorry little *bottom*. The awesome bar is really awesome and nothing less, I hadn't tested the release candidates but the final version really left me with my mouth open.

It uses less memory and the javascript is way faster, but it has some stability problems specially when connections are lost, sometimes it freezes some seconds and sometimes it just plain crashes. It now renders Acid 2 properly so that's a plus.

Basically, you can't see most of the innovations, but I'm really glad they're supporting more and more the new CSS standards.

I just don't like that most of my plugins are not compatible, but I guess that will get fixed as time goes.


i have to agree i upgraded my Firefox 2 to 3 today i was like wow Firefox 3 looks much better runs for smoother on my computer and better genteel to the eyes =). well wolfpack i haven't experience the the javascript crash yet *knock on wood*.

Yeah. Firefox 3.0x is better then Internet Explorer, Firefox 2.0x, Opera and all them others.
Sometimes I get annoyed and angry when Firefox doesn't load for me. It says in Task Manager it is open, then it says Firefox is running but is not responding. That message is really annoying.
But yeah, I rarely get them errors anymore, since the upgrade to 3.0.

    If you've given the newly-released Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 a spin, you've probably noticed that
    there aren't a whole lot of eye-popping new features. However, there are a few subtle
    improvements that make it a nice upgrade. In addition to built-in spellchecker, Firefox 2.0 also
    has close buttons on every individual tab - a much-needed feature (especially on Mac OS X.)
    There's also better (but still not great) RSS integration. When you click on a site's feed
