FF3

Yeah. A bit slow i know but haha nonetheless I am going to blog about it.

Tried out Firefox 3 at office as office PC is always the guinea pig for new software. Do not want to cause my own PC to have problems and spend time fixing it.

The experience is quite good as sites seems to load faster even without fasterfox. Everything looks nice and good. As usual, there is the teething issue of addons and extensions that cannot work but given time, those individual developers will irons out the kinks. Temporarily, you can get the Nightly Tester Tools to force addons and extensions to work for the time being. Lucky for me, those few stuff I use already has a FF3 version out already.

The issue for me is the dropdown bar in the url bar is not exactly friendly, do download oldbar to get back the old FF2 dropdown bar. Search engine is still FF3 so you might want to tweak the config to show no suggestions as it will provide suggestions from your history and bookmarks. You can find the tweaks from here.

Overall, it is a good experience and perhaps when FF3 allows you to use the oldbar back and the old suggestion engine without config tweak or addons, it will be better~!
