I've now got a couple days experience. with Firefox 3 Beta 2.

I don't do a tremendous amount of multimedia website browsing, but I do spend a lot of time interacting with Gmail and I have Web 2.0 Rails app I use several times a day.

Overall, the speed improvement of this is fantastic. And I suspect the reliability is also improved. ie. I used to get the feeling things would be better if I exited and restarted Firefox every day or so. So far I have noticed no degradation at all running FF3B2.

If there are any developers onlne, thanks fro great improvements.

FYI: The only glitch I had was having to upgrade to nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.5 manually. Would be nice if that was part of one-click install.

Hi,

I see in the build service there is MozillaFirefox-2.9.92-8.1.x86_64.rpm

Anyone know what that is in laymens terms.

And if not Firefox 3 Beta 2, is anyone experimenting with it under 10.3 Suse yet?

That's Firefox 3 beta 2 indeed. Feel free to test it but keep a backup of your FF2 profile to be sure.

5 Minute Review

Firefox 3 beta 2 definitely feels faster.

I've tried gmail's web interface and Google Docs. Both have been pretty slow for me the past.

Could just be good luck / timing / phase of the moon, but both seem snappier to me.

Thanks

I second that thanks to the developers for their hard work. My list of issues, at present, stands at: 1) Print preview results in a crash. 2) The "new" Yahoo mail interface does not work at all. The old Yahoo mail interface often (about one out of three times) when trying to view an email message. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
