lol im not .. i use beta softwares too

only .. some of my FFaddons don't work with ff3 soo ... :p

Code:
extensions.checkCompatibility | boolean set to false
extensions.checkUpdateSecurity | boolean set to false


That should make 95% of the existing extensions work again :)

err... how to do that??
type

Code:
about:config


into the address bar.

Then its like using regedit for windows. You need to make the two keys above yourself.

I don't know how many of you actually read the Splash screens on the beta, but it says below that they purposely make Alpha Build Beta and then release Beta builds which are actually Release Candidates :p

I have no problems with the Memory Usage of FF3, I think its drastically improved.

Yeah that's the only reason I don't use it yet. I always have like 6 tabs or more at once.
I typically have 30+ tabs...

I'll try the beta some time.  Firefox has been lagging like hell recently - need to see if FF3 fixes that...




For betas, well, it depends who's making them I guess (some betas are very unstable).  For browsers, it's unlikely that anything will happen to your system, so it's whether you really care about using them or not.



EDIT: no Firebug or Tab Mix Plus :(  I guess I'll be sticking to Firefox 2 for now.
Whenever i open this, it just crashes and asks if i want to send report to mozilla Hero
Firefox RC1 is out now.
yes! Running pretty smoothly! Not on windows currently so can't check its resource consumption! Will tell later!
