    I have cleared the cache but that didn't sort it.

    IE7 deals better with it but still stalls every few seconds.

    Perhaps its your flash version. Disable flash with noscript.

    Instead I just downloaded an addon to hide all flash adverts, solves problem but now I can't see ads anymore. Doesn't really get to the heart of the matter, but anyhow..

    Started using it a few days ago. Im Loving the full page zoom feature, I really needs it for articles since my screen is a 17" laptop screen at 1920x1200. Its also cool that you can actually check whether a site has logged in and you have typed the correct password before you choose to save the password. It has crashed on me a few times randomly though...

    just uninstalled it there - the drop down address bar you know where it shows you all the sites you've been on it's just a pile of gobbledeegook, whereas in 2 it's an easily read list of sites

    I've found it to work very well if you just type what you want. e.g. For boards usercp start typing 'usercp' in the address bar.

    Yep you can easily find a site from your bookmarks or recent history by just typing in keywords. Took a little while to get used to it but I think it's great now.

    It's just different man... I for one like the new thing, it's dead handy for finding sites you found through google and such...

    Initially I didn't like the new address bar but its so handy now. I've gotten so used to it that I couldn't live without it. The ability to search the meta data of a site and not just the URL is excellent. It also searches your bookmarks as well as your history. Also if you just type anything into the address bar and hit enter if it can't find it in your bookmarks/history it will default to a google search of it for you.

    Also, I like that it highlights, underlines and bolds the words you are searching for. It makes it easier to scan down through the results looking for the relevant link.

    i am using vista home premium 64bit

    I can see on the release notes that it downloads to a different folder rather than overwriting firefox2. should i download firefox3 and import settings from version 2?

    whats the best way to do it properly without losing all my bookmarks and saved passwords and stuff

    thanks in advance

    D.

    Foxmarks add-on works with FF3 as of today, been especially waiting for this one, found it annoying without it.

    there's been a foxmarks beta out since the Firefox 3 beta started. I've been using that.
