I'd seriously recommend people play with the Beta, I use ff2 and ie7 and in comparison ff3 zips along. It actually makes me reevaluate the amount the speed of a web sites servers effects things compared to the browser. I had kind of assumed most lag was to do with the speed of web servers, but looking at the speed of say the myff forums on ff3 I realise that with halfway decent servers, the server is not the bottleneck. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

I have noticed a few things on this. When you try and sign in on here the login box goes to the left and not centre. The same with the main header on the arcade is showing left align and not centre,, only does this on beta? so a few things still need sorting. But really is much faster. _________________ http://www.saynoto0870.com/ http://www.myshopbag.co.uk XXVIII/ I/ MCMLXXI

It may be (and probably is) not firefox but slightly bad html on the forum, when I get a little time I plan to look at this, but it could be the beta at fault so I'm not making it a priority.

Look at this screen shot only happens on beta, you see the review even shoots left, so i think it is beta.

I'm running it, so I have seen it! Since it works on other browsers it is uncertain where the issue lies. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

I'll wait till release as it isn't too far away now and I doubt I'll be seeing any speed changes or memory issues as I've already slapped in the tweaks to ff2 I have read a few promising notes that v3 's got, I'm gonna wait for the surprise, should there be one _________________ CALM TIME: When calm time is called, all posters in a topic must take time out to calm down.

nope, I've always hated IE and once firefox came out it was like walking into heaven being offered every food item you love knowing that in heaven you'll never get fat, opera is a close second although I don't use it to browse anymore as my bookmarks are all in ff

Firefox is like a shoe that is 2 sizes too small... It's bloody great to get shut of it once you are daft enough to allow yourself to get talked into using it. _________________
