Lean: Conservative Gender:  Awards: | Re: Firefox 3 and IE 8.0 fwiw, I installed FF3. browsed normally. then my comp crashed and then would only reboot to a bsod. i booted into another os and everything was fine. Then i used xp's system restore to return to a point b4 installing ff3. now it functions.
I don't know for sure that ff3 is the issue. however, i'm gonna wait a bit before i reinstall it.

Current Mood: | Re: Firefox 3 and IE 8.0 Running Firefox 3 now, works perfectly. I suspect you issue Simon is OS related and not Firefox related.

Lean: Independent Gender:  Awards: | Re: Firefox 3 and IE 8.0 I downloaded FF3 to let them get that record as I really like their product. I didn't install it yet because I've read that some of the add-ons haven't been working properly yet and I don't wanna mess with something that's working fine now. |

Current Mood: | Re: Firefox 3 and IE 8.0 I've used every Firefox version including the initial beta version and never had a problem with any of them. Simon....uninstall Firefox 2.0 and then re-install FF-3.
8.3 million FF-3 downloads within the first 24 hours. Mozilla is now aware of a security problem that is inherent in both 2.0 and 3.0 and a patch will be available very shortly. Firefox will auto-check for updates periodically or you can use...

Current Mood: | Re: Firefox 3 and IE 8.0 I installed FF3 the day it was released and I must say - I like it! I've been using FF2 for the past 6-8 months and it is far superior to IE in so many ways. I do agree with shuamort, it sucks that not all of the add-ons work with FF3, but this should hopefully be fixed shortly. I lost about half my add-ons because they aren't compatible, yet. I really like the "Most visited" button as well, pretty cool. Of course if Stumble Upon wasn't compatible, I would stick with FF2 until it was.
