Mozilla Firefox 3 Released. Tuesday June 17th, 2008. By MozillaZine. Mozilla Firefox 3, which was released today, has over 15,000 improvements according to Mozilla. A new feature known as Places stores bookmarks, browsing history and other user information in an SQLite database.

Read the full article for more details about what's new in Firefox 3. All the hype and not even close to the last build of Mozilla!

Mozilla's release 3.0 is slower. Appears to hog more resources.

And doubtful that the full release is anything more than a release of the RC3.0 version. Just hurried to meet a deadline for a world record for downloads! I personally followed the Beta thru the RC candidates of 3.0 objectively and installed them as they came out. Personally in my view, the changes were minimal at best. Disappointing to say the least! Add ons are minimal.

At least for now. And yes i know that in time, the great developers will create some really neat and USEFUL add ons for 3.0. But, I would wait and see if Mozilla takes the browser back to the drawing board FIRST! I'll stick with Mozilla, YES! But the last version of 2.0 in my machines will stay.

Since i've already uninstalled 3.0 just today and reinstalled the last version of 2.0 already this morning! Mozilla 3.0 doesn't add up to the hype! A large number of downloads doesn't mean it's a GREAT browser!

It just means that the exposure and marketing techniques are GREAT! A rather odd bug that I've noted on my machine, irrespective of platform (64-bit Ubuntu Hardy,32-bit Windows XP or Vista), is that I find myself unable to copy an address from the address bar by highlighting it, right-clicking, and choosing «Copy» from the menu that opens. A copy can, however, be made successfully by using the «Ctrl+C» keyboard shortcut. Once such a copy has been made it can be pasted into, e g, a text editor by the usual methods, i e, either right-clicking and choosing «Paste» or typing «Ctrl+V». Aside from the special situation of the address bar, right-clicking to copy works perfectly well; I can, for example, copy this text to a text editor by this means without any difficulty at all. Could this odd behaviour on the part of the address bar possibly be related to the «awesome» function? In any event, while not a deal breaker - I am quite impressed with Firefox 3 and intend to use it or modified versions (Swiftweasel on Ubuntu) as my default brower - it would be nice if the Mozilla developers could patch this minor annoyance as soon as possible.

'Mozilla's release 3.0 is slower. Appears to hog more resources.

The creators of Firefox should have added those tweaks like 'browser.cache.memory.capacity' into the about:config dialog box without users having to add them manually. The makers of Netscape 9.x browsers were smart enough to add such memory tweaks like 'browser.cache.memory.capacity' which is why their browsers use less resources and are more stable than Firefox. And for those who cannot install nor use the AdBlock Plus extension under the final release of Firefox 3, get the latest version here instead of from the AdBlock Plus creator's site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865.

You can remove Firefox 3.6 through the Control Panel in the Start Menu on Windows, by removing the Firefox application on OS X, or by removing the firefox folder on Linux. By default, removing Firefox 3.6 won’t remove your bookmarks, web browsing history, extensions or other add-ons. This data is stored in your profile folder, which can be found by going to the Help menu and selecting Troubleshooting Information.

The button next to the Profile Directory line in Application Basics will open your profile directory in your system's file explorer. Please note that if you keep your profile, any version of Firefox that you install after removing Firefox 3.6 will continue to use the bookmarks, web browsing history, add-ons, and other data from this profile folder.

This list covers some of the known problems with Firefox 3.6, which will be resolved in future releases: All Systems. If you have the 'reading pane' option set in Hotmail, the scroll arrows will not work properly (see ). If FIPS mode is enabled and certain files have been removed from the system, the browser may crash on startup (see ) Linux and Unix. Firefox may have difficulty playing system sounds in some distributions of Linux (see ). Zooming out on some sites may result in grey or black lines appearing (see ). Poorly designed or incompatible extensions can cause problems with your browser, including make it crash, slow down page display, etc.

If you encounter strange problems relating to parts of the browser no longer working, the browser not starting, windows with strange or distorted appearance, degraded performance, etc, you may be suffering from Extension or Theme trouble. Restart the browser in Safe Mode.

On Windows, start using the 'Safe Mode' shortcut created in your Start menu or by running firefox.exe -safe-mode. On Linux, start with./firefox -safe-mode and on Mac OS X, run: cd /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/./firefox-bin -safe-mode When started in Safe Mode all extensions are disabled and the Default theme is used. Disable the Extension/Theme that is causing trouble and then start normally. If you uninstall an extension that is installed with your user profile (i.e. You installed it from a Web page) and then wish to install it for all user profiles using the -install-global-extension command line flag, you must restart the browser once to cleanse the profile extensions datasource of traces of that extension before installing with the switch. If you do not do this you may end up with a jammed entry in the Extensions list and will be unable to install the extension globally. If you encounter strange problems relating to bookmarks, downloads, window placement, toolbars, history, or other settings, it is recommended that you try creating a new profile and attempting to reproduce the problem before filing bugs.

Create a new profile by running Firefox with the -P command line argument, choose the 'Manage Profiles' button and then choose 'Create Profile.' Migrate your settings files (Bookmarks, Saved Passwords, etc) over one by one, checking each time to see if the problems resurface. If you do find a particular profile data file is causing a problem, file a bug and attach the file. What can I do to help?
