I 'downgraded' (although it felt more like an update) to the previous version of firefox (2.0.0.14) which I am writing this comment from, and I plan to use this (and opera, although permanently opera if they don't fix ff3 in future updates) I agree firefox isn't as good without addons, but I guess I can get used to it... The main problems for me with ff3 were none of my updates working, half of my bookmarks lost in the 'update' to ff3 mysteriously, its slowness despite mozilla having claimed the speed was increased, and the new layout when I liked the ff2 one just fine.

Firefox 3 Sucks - Time For Another Browser
I was always a Netscape fan... Yup... Anyone remember that being a first choice browser? Didn't think so. Then because of tabbed browsing I switched from the default IE to Firefox. But I've had problem after problem with Firefox. The addons are great, but stability is not. IE7 seems to be solving many of these issues. I have a funny feeling that when people ask me for a browser of choice I'm going to have to start saying IE. -reply by Robert

Firefox 3.0 = thumbs down
Firefox 3 Sucks - Time For Another Browser
I agree! I think it should give us the option to change it. I didn't realize that the changes were going to be this drastic! I wouldn't have upgraded! Deleting the cookies each time my browser closes doesn't solve the problem either. I still have to fish through the mess to get to the website I want to go to while my browser is open!

Disappointed, will use Firefox 2 until Firefox 4
Firefox 3 Sucks - Time For Another Browser
If "upgrading" means losing a mission critical plug-in, I'll pass. FF3 killed three of my mission critical plug-ins: tab mix plus, repaginator, and refresh blocker. The "privacy" tab of the options would not work. It never updated the option's dialog box. The "security" tab only worked some of the time. The Back and Forward buttons are now awkward. Ctrl+MouseWheel towards you has always meant make the fonts bigger. It was like bringing the page closer to you. Ctrl+MouseWheel away from you always meant make the fonts smaller. FF3 has reverse these two effects. No one ever wants to make the fonts smaller. They always want them bigger because dumb kids think it's cool to use really tiny fonts. So you're always doing the "make font bigger" mouse wheel gesture. Pulling the wheel towards you is just easier than pushing it away. So the common gesture should definitely use it. What Firefox should have done is the following: 1. Plug-in protection Better protection against poorly written plug-ins. If a plug-in enters an infinite loop or causes an exception, the plug-in runtime should be able to recover. Currently, such plug-ins can bring down the Firefox process. 2. Plug-in lifecycle All plug-ins should have a lifecycle, even if that means recycling the plug-in runtime. Installing, uninstalling, or updating a plug-in may restart the plug-in runtime for all plug-ins (suboptimal, but acceptable), but it should not force a recycle of the Firefox process. 3. No dialogs modal to top-level windows. Web pages love to display a dialog box repeatedly until you click "accept" to it. Click "no" or "cancel" and they'll just redisplay the same dialog, perhaps after displaying another one saying you have to say yes. Talk about not taking no for an answer. Firefox should treat all "modal" dialog boxes as being modal with respect to the tab in which they were spawned rather than modal with respect to the Firefox process or any of it's top-level windows. That way, users can simply close the tab whose web page is being obnoxious rather than killing the Firefox process. 4. Skinning If Firefox had a skinning or theme creation tool, the developers wouldn't feel the need to "innovate" the UI so much. They could get their creative fixes by creating themes, which the users could install or ignore at our pleasure. Of course, users could create and publish their own themes/skins. Everybody has different tastes. -reply by Daniel Barbalace

All that you have to do for home button is just right click on the toolbar and click customize.. really easy-- another thing that separates Firefox from all the other browsers. Firefox is easy to use and I've loved it since the first release. Firefox 3 is great because it is fast, customizable and the add-ons are awesome. I realize that some of the add-ons have compatibility issues, but the people just need to update them. Safari is great, its kind of fast, but not customizable-- something that I hate. IE is slow, not really customizable, and lets in viruses. Opera is pretty fast... nothing more to say. I've never tried any other browser because I don't know of many. Firefox has great security and most websites recommend that you view the site in Firefox. I really don't see what is soo bad about it...

I agree! By all means, Firefox 3 is the best browser that has come out... Everything is good except for the fact the Firefox 3 "stops responding" for a second or two when a download finishes downloading... Another thing is the fact that not many themes support it... However, I was downloading this particular file yesterday and watched as it finished and in the status bar it said, "Downloading..." then quickly turned to "Scanning for Viruses", and then "Download Complete"... I never knew Firefox 3 had a built-in virus scanner, or maybe it used my NOD32 (which is unlikely because no popup of NOD32 scanning ever pop'd up... Firefox 3 is a great browser and the built-in adaptive search for the URL bar is a great way to know what page was which for what...

I used to love it, too. FF3 is awful. Thought it might be Little Snitch which I use at home but I don't use Little Snitch at work and it's a brand-new computer and I still have many problems with FF3. Even right now it's lagging while I type; I get the Mac beachball for a few seconds then all the characters I've typed appear. Scrolling does the same thing, too. I really can't stand it anymore.

Apple Makes Everything Safari
Pros and Cons of Safari Web Browser (0) Not quite a "safari" tool - safari comes from the Persian word "safari" means "something suitable to

The look and feel of Safari web browser is not what you expect from Apple but it has a taste of
