Am 100% behind this gimmick! I just hope that FF3 would really show a huge difference to FF2.
But yea, Firefox rocks!

I been trying the FF3 beta theres not much to write home about its better with memory but not to a great extent you still have to hack the script to put in multi lines of bookmarks in the tool bar all in all Flock is alil better.

I've enjoyed using FireFox, so i pledged to grab the new one when it comes out.
Hopefully it'll hold up with version 2 and improve upon it.
I'm waiting for this one.

Crossing my fingers that a lot of my favorite add-ons still work. Customization is key, and I really love the fact I could copy my profile folder to each machine I use FF on, rather than download and reconfigure each time I build a new PC or reformat. I can even sync my bookmarks for my USB key portable based version. I know I'll be d/l on release day.

You can do this with flock and IE if you know where the files are, well maybe not IE with the add ons, but one of the troubles of using old data even book marks is corruption that can mess with you down the line.
Dose anyone know if FF3 will fix the multi bookmark tool bar lines ?
thats my main gripe with FF3 beta...

I don't know if ff3 is going to change the whole experience just by itself but i know that Firefox just by itself has changed the way i see computers and i have this feeling of safety with it whether or not it exist and that just makes it for me for pledging with their world record, open software at its best

Adblock Plus does work in the beta and, although I don't use it, No Script works as well. I see no reason why either wouldn't carry over to the official release.

Have been running the Beta for quite a while now (it downloaded an update not that long ago and now says its not beta?), I can confirm that download resume is in, I frequently close the lid of my laptop sending it into standby without realizing files are still downloading, they resume perfectly fine when i turn it back on.

Agreed. It's MUCH faster, and as long as the memory leaks are gone, I'm happy. Just wish they would make a way to window the tabs within one instance of the application, so I could make comparisons while shopping, etc.

Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.
