ABSOLUTELY loving it!! :)

I'm pretty sure I discovered a quite sever bug. After doing something (I'm still not sure what), the browser refuses to click through on links or buttons. This renders the browser ineffective and I need to restart it! :eek:

I mean, that is something rather large! How do you miss that?

Mine is running fine, even with the FireFTP and sidebar add-ons.

I think you did something really bad. :(

Make sure that the download folder that you have specified in options actually exists.
 

Shame, do they really have to call their Speed Dial clone Fast Dial? :o

If they steal the idea they can probably steal the name too. EDIT: I see there is a Speed Dial exstention already, just looks worse. :p

They are not even attempting to pass it off as their own idea with this description of the add-on:

Fast access to your favorite sites through thumbnails, like Opera Speed Dial.

I like FF3 very much even though I'm an Opera man:p
 
in FF3 bookmarks goto Smart Bookmarks, its the same thing

Yep, and it's faster. That speed dial thing is just a pain to use in any case, tried to day for 10 minutes then uninstalled ;)

The main thing I like about FF3 is that it remembers what Windows I had open between sessions (like Opera has done for ages, to be fair). Other than that, I haven't yet noticed anything else that makes me specifically prefer to use it over FF2. (Of course, if a person's reference point is IE, then that's another story.) One other feature I wish they'd copied from Opera is the ability to "undo" a "close tab" operation. I still prefer FF over Opera though even though it tends to trail it feature-wise, partly because of the addons.

given its not actually a mozilla offical tool it renders your point moot.

It opens about as quickly as Opera for me, only takes a few seconds, if that.

have you tried running it in safe mode to see if things improve? then you can possibly isolate the problem to a rogue add-on.
