I was pretty exited about new Firefox 3, i tried its beta version earlier , but as beta is always beta (bugs and so it suxx ) so i uninstalled from my PC. and start using the older version of firefox (2.12) .
Suddenly after few days, i got an e-mail from on of my friend about the Download day of Firefox and again i got exited about the all new Firefox 3 , Final version. I e-mail all my friends about this new Firefox. Ask them to download it, and help the Firefox to get World record certificate. Everything was fine.
Download day arises , i downloaded the all new Mozilla Firefox 3 but, !!!!
Firefox refused to take my Pluginns, says “not compatible with this version”. Ohh man… WTF. I leave the pluginn for a while and started using it (FF3). But again a problem . The feature called “Smart Location Bar” which automatically shows us the site (last visited) in our address bar as we type the keyword, example: If we visited a Webmaster related site, and we start typing the webmaster in address bar , it shows all of the site having keyword webmaster in there Title bar or URL. This was better feature but was bit confusing to people like me , who just type G and GMAIL.com comes to address bar , just press down button and hit Enter, but now after pressing G it was showing other sites.
Firefox people also claimed that Firefox has “Improved Performance” . but sorry, my PC Stuck two times while surfing (but never in older version) .
So now i came to conclusion that,
I am calling firefox guys (developers) please make firefox better, but not like this.
I love Firefox toooooo much, currently i am using the latest version of Firefox 2 (i.e Firefox 2.16) but not the Firefox 3. I am not closing the doors for Firefox 3, i will use it in between, to try its different features, i will atleast try it after i got my favorite compatibility with firefox version 3.
I also heard there are few problems related to uninstalling the Firefox 3, but while uninstalling i didn’t face any problems.
Recently i just get a update related to Firefox 3 that new version is released, Firefox 3.0.1 due to some security reasons. I got this image at F-Secure Antivirus weblog.
Firefox 3.0.1 released (Click to see Larger Image)
They have fixed few security problems , lets try it again !!

I actually love ff3! It’s much faster and I actually never had any problems with ff3!
About the Smart Location Bar.. I love this function!
Anyway, as long as you don’t switch to IE it’s all good!

What are you talking about? Firefox 3 rocks!
Well people don’t usually like changes. I used to hate that new URL bar like you, but now, I prefer this much better than the old one.
For example the old one requires you to remember the first letters of the URL. With this, I can simply type “the keywords”.
For example if I have closed this browser and I want to go back to your site, I don’t need to remember the “www.thec….”. I can simply type “Firefox disappoint..” and your site will come up
A much better & improved version, actually!

It doesn’t mean that Firefox 3 sucks if your plugins does not work. Maybe you also need to contact the developers of the plugin you are using so they can make a version or a patch compatible with Firefox 3.
Remember, some plugins are thrid-party plugins so it does not necessarily means that Mozilla team is responsible for compatibility issues.
I am using Web Developer, ShowIP, Stumble and iMacros extensions and they all work perfectly well. Firebug is not compatible with Firefox 3 but it will only be a matter of time before the compatible version is released.
And oh, I love Firefox 3!

Firefox 3.1 basically demolished my plug-ins! The very second it was installed–my ability to hear audio on the web, was lost–apparently forever. Firefox has got their back up about it, and snottily tells me my issue with with Realplayer, or tells me this and that, rather than admitting they have a bug.
I am making a formal complaint to my attorney general’s office, though of course that probably won’t do any good, except to hopefully give the extremely arrogant and irresponsible arses at Firefox some headaches.
Firefox USED to be good, now it’s just very un-cool…no better than Microsoft.

Is the location bar and plugins the only reason why FF 3 sucks? The Old location bar can be restored with a add-on, but I don’t know why you don’t like it, it makes surfing faster. More than 90 addons are now available for FF3.

I’m also pretty disappointed with Firefox 3. My biggest complaint is that I can no longer use Real Player’s video download function. So thanks to either Firefox or Real Player I can no longer use Real Player in the one way that made it worth using.
It appears to me that Mozilla Firefox seems to have no interest in fixing this problem.
