3 Firefox Downloads… How much did you get?
Posted by Bashar under Browsers, Firefox, Internet, Technology
I had 3 downloads so far (Windows @ Home, MacBook Pro, and Linux @ work). Windows went perfect, Linux needed a bit of a small hack to get it replacing the old installation, Mac download broke first time and then went on.
I was thinking of crashing over parents house and doing a by-force upgrade to all their browsers. Unfortunately, things got in the way.
How much did you get? And what’s the favorite feature you found in Firefox 3 so far. I so much like the search of bookmarks and history all together, despite how it could crash on your privacy to some extent by chance. Also, the Firefox remember password now is a bar at the top that doesn’t hold back page loading. MUCH BETTER!

Yeah, I got about 3 as well. The best feature is the overall speed improvements. I still wish they would improve the integration with Mac though, add keychain support for example.

I got three as well. One for my Macbook and one for XP, and one for the little girl who lives down the lane. (Ubuntu)

3baid: Yeah, I did notice so far it’s faster. But I didn’t wanna curse it or rush in judgement.
MacaholiQ8: How dare you @@
Bojacob: Hah :). Mine was SUSE Linux. So 3 was not bad. Maybe I should’ve made more effort and got highest in Kuwait!

3baid: Great!
Bojacob: It doesn’t add through the repository? That’s pure EVIL!!! or at least bad! :)

I like the drag&drop, ex. whatever image just drag it to desktop&saved!!
The search within the URL, bookmarks .. like that too
performance wise too, though today I had GOD knows how many firefox opened&it hanged I had to kill everything but since they have retrieve session, so I did&everything was back to normal ;)
I was going to download it on home PCs but my bros can’t spare a moment with all their online war games!!! so my total is 2.

maryam: Well, not bad at all for a girl, if you dont mind me saying it :)
Some of my geek friends somehow missed the download day I was shouting from top of my head!
