Firefox 3’s 4th Beta looking nice

I am really, really looking forward to Firefox 3.

I love Firefox when it’s behaving, but mine has a tendency to suddenly lose interest in displaying a given page’s images, or finding its CSS. There are many memory leaks in Firefox 2 and 3 is said to plug most of them. Great!

The beta for Firefox 3 just hit version 4, and it’s sounding like its shaping up to be a great browser. Page zooming, new download manager, and stability?

Yes, please.

  • new download manager eh? I love the download status bar addon for 2, so I hope it’s similar to that.

  • I was a fire-fox man a few months ago when I was still using my desktop. And then my prized Macbook arrived and I have barely even used the old Windows XP comp anymore.
    And I must say,
    I have fallen in love.
    With Safari.
    It’s streamlined design surpasses fire-foxes for me because I don’t have a lot of screen real estate, and when I downloaded Firefox I gasped at the horror of how much space just the address bar and bookmarks took up at the top! Ridiculous! And so I tried Safari for the first time. It was great, like love at first site (or use). But one thing still nagged on me… Safari was just a tad slower than Firefox. With my high speed connection I was appalled that Safari would butcher my internetz, and so I was stuck for a while, mildly using both browsers.
    Until I found the new version of Safari, thats currently in beta. It takes regular Safari, adds a different color (and cooler looking) compass, and boosts the speed!
    Now I can have beautiful design and speed all rolled together into one neat little program.

  • I totally miss the wand function that Opera provides when I’m using Firefox. I know there are add-ons for Firefox, but they just don’t seem to cut the mustard when compared to Opera’s out of the box functionality…
