FireFox 3 Released
FireFox has been my recommended browser going way back to version 1.5, I think. Now Mozilla has released FireFox 3. I think it’s going to be great.
But I’m not upgrading yet, I don’t think you should either.
Unless:
- You want to help Mozilla set a record for downloads
- Your browsing isn’t critical to your daily activities
- You backup your FireFox profile first
- You like being on the “bleeding” edge
- You don’t rely on a lot of add-ons that may not have new versions ready for FireFox 3 yet
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect big problems. But goofballs like banks who half the time don’t allow FireFox in the first place may have problems dealing with the new browser.
I rely heavily on FireFox add-ons. While I haven’t checked, I’m betting some of the ones I use are not FireFox 3 ready yet.
With my schedule, I just don’t have time to deal with new program bugs or nuances; I need my stuff to work.
FireFox 3 will be a definite upgrade for me and my clients, but not until I know everything is rock solid and ready to roll, possibly with version, say, 3.0.0.2.
