Firefox 3

A while ago I switched to using safari full time on my macbook pro as it was faster and better integrated than my current version of firefox at the time. Today like many millions of people I downloaded firefox 3 and I have to say I am absolutely blown away. I love the new features that I’ve seen so far (it seems you either love or hate the new url bar), the cleanliness of the interface and my god it’s fast!

Plus an extension called picLens – if you haven’t tried it I urge you to check it out. It doesn’t work with all sites but it makes browsing google images, amazon products, deviant art pics and a number of other things an absolute dream. It also stops the weird issues I was having with flex builder where I’d run an app and it would load in safari, then the safari window would close and I’d have to do it a second time. Now my flex apps load super fast with no problems. And for a change, the default theme is the best one I can find – nice and clean and light.

Well done and thank you to the Firefox team!

  1. I’m enjoying it too, though I havnn’t been able to get the 3 finger back action working with my multitouch pad (MBP), which is kind of annoying seeing it’s become an instinctive movement!
