Firefox 3

It's been a few days since I have installed Firefox 3 and so far so good.

Pluses
-FF finally figured out that whole memory leak thing, which would cause ff to shut down abruptly if you kept your browser opened up for a prolonged period of time.

-Faster loading webpages, one of the biggest problems with ff was the loading of websites that contained a lot of .JPEGS, the problem being with how .JPEG's were cached.

-History in the toolbar, this is a great feature. If you are visiting a site and accidentally close the browser, in the past you had to retrieve it from the history folder, now you can just click on the arrow next to the toolbar and it lists the web pages you visited, you can adjust this setting to save only a day or two (the default is 90 days)

-Compatible with more websites, as programmers got onto the FF bandwagon FF now integrates with all my websites without having to open IE.

-Additional security, FF warns you when your visiting a suspected phishing site and will not let it load, also FF will not allow websites to install Active X content, this in the past was a burden, but now as websites switch to playing flash based video you can now surf knowing that that the porn site that you just visited is not installing a virus or a Trojan horse.

Minuses.
-Yes, believe it or not there are some, the biggest one being that the majority of my toolbar functions no longer work, this is just because FF3 was retooled from the ground up so in the next coming weeks this should no longer be a problem.

-Options menu, one thing about ff was its simplicity, you were not burdened with tons of useless plugins and bogged down with silly bells and whistles. When you open the Options menu now you are in a myriad of menus it takes some time to set FF to operate the way you like it.

So that is really it for now, I will keep you posted with any updates.

GET FIREFOX NOW.
