I agree 100% FF3 looks so much better on the mac than FF2. Will definitely be staying with FF3 at least until FF4 which one hopes will be even AWESOME'ER
Got a tip for us?

Why do I get this inconsistency between the color of the top of the window and the toolbar? I don't see it in any of the screenshots I see.
Yeah, just restarted it a couple times, same problem. I have 1Password, but I'm not sure why that would do anything.
does a new profile help? http://tpcr-cris.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-to-create-new-firefox-profile-under.html

you have likely still some files from an UNO installation - http://gui.interacto.net/
look here:
/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxx.default/chrome/
and a userChrome.css file and a toolbar.gif image are likely there
remove then these files
I am thoroughly impressed by Firefox 3. I had switched to Safari from Firefox 2, but now I've just switched back to Firefox.
The main reasons I'll be using Firefox 3 from now on are:
Well done Mozilla team!
The main reasons I'll be using Firefox 3 from now on are:
- Wonderful look and feel that now rivals Safari
- Support for thousands of add-ons, which is the deal breaker that kills Safari
- Dramatically improved performance over Firefox 2 that now rivals Safari
Well done Mozilla team!
IE team's cake arrived at Mozilla HQ.
That's really nice of them. That cake looks delicious except the "e".
EDIT: Just saw on ars that this has become a tradition...this cake at least is much better than last times...although it seems that its much smaller this time...lol
That's really nice of them. That cake looks delicious except the "e".
The "e" is getting bigger this time around, compare to the one they sent bac in 2006 when firefox 2 released
The "e" is getting bigger this time around, compare to the one they sent bac in 2006 when firefox 2 released
is the "e" edible this time? It looks a bit cardboardish...
EDIT: Oh and I have downloaded firefox on five computers. One on my mac, one on my desktop, one on my dad's laptop, forced on on my friend's, and finally, one on my boot camped XP (does that count?)

That's great
Shows that they all have a sense of humor A friendly rivalry is always good

Maybe they didn't deem version 2 to be worth the effort of a nice cake

i wish I know, but my guess is no, it does look like paper made...especially the stride.
Firefox 3 is definitely very zippy! It even makes Flash more tolerable on a G4.
Firefox 3 = 2 dock bounces
Safari = 3 dock bounces
So far so good, Mozilla. Thanks!

Not for me. Tab browsing in Safari is waay more seamless especially the moving around of tabs and overall speed of both browsers is pretty much the same for me
I have found a few bugs already.
I use www.logmein.com to remote control Macs and PC from my Mac on a daily basis. (BTW its a great FREE product) Anyhow there is a Mac plugin to speed up the remote control speed from logmein.com, it works great in Safari, hangs FF3 and rails both cores in my macbook to 100%, I have to kill off FF3. This has been a problem since I started messing with FF3 at Beta 2.
Lots of little page render problems on the Mac versions. For instance www.teamxbox.com has a black toolbar across the top. On Safari, FF3 for Windows and IE even, it covers up the "Contact US" and the end of the toolbar which is correct, but not so with FF3 on the Mac. To many little render problems to mention, none show stoppers but it just makes the product look less polished.
The flip4Mac media player plugin for OSX, works great in Safari but is missing the control buttons (start/stop) at the bottom left of a media player enable web page. http://xboxmovies.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/7109/Battlefield-Bad-Company-Run-Wild-Trailer/ blame it on the plugin, but its been a problem on all pages that have media player embedded since FF3 B2. Works just fine in Safari.
Sadly this is the worst. I have a .mac account and host a simple photo web page created in iWeb 08 up on my .mac account. The photo page wont display my photo albums under FF3 for OS X or Windows. Works fine in Safari and IE.

That is enough for me to stick with Safari. I really wanted it to be my main browser, its fast and looks good. Hopefully these issues will be fixed with some new plugins and some bug fixes.
Here's to Safari 4.
Ahh another bug. Managing my domains at godaddy, the edit buttons are missing from the DNS app. Fine in Safari and IE

I have only downloaded Firefox 3 a hour and a half ago, but I knew in the first ten minutes that I definitely prefer this compared to Firefox 2. I love love love the "Awesome Bar!" I always hated typing in the part of the URL to get where I wanted to go in Firefox 2. Now, all I have to know is the page title. Proper! I managed to get to my blog by just typing in whim. Plus the bookmarking features are golden perfection -- just love love love throughout.

Question is, what do I do with that? I can't see doing anything more than having it sit on my hard drive. I'm not going to frame it and hang it on my wall... I'm not that... Um, whatever...
