Firefox 3 SUCKS!

    I was pretty stoked to download it. But I was expecting so much more. I'm disappointed right now. This final version seems more like a shitty beta version. Here are the problems (for me)

    - Slower than Firefox 2, until I made the tweaks in about:config. Still seems like it might be slower though.
    - Everytime I submit a form (posting blog comments or quick replying on dp) it brings me to a white blank page, and the submission didn't go through.
    - Takes at least 3 tries to login to a forum (maybe that's why they call it Firefox 3)
    - I get "Connection Interrupted" more than I ever have before.
    - I get "Page Load Error" alot
    - Some sites won't load at all, but they work fine when I try in Opera.
    - It sucks
    - It's slower
    Screw this!

    I'm trying to figure out if this is actually Firefox or not. How can it not be? Am I the only one? I may have to use Opera full time! I can't even submit this thread without loadng errors and interuptions. So I'm having to open Opera to submit.

    EDIT: ok, I reconnected and it's much faster now. We'll see if that's the cause of all of the other problems

    I experienced more resource usage than FF2.

    Crashed 2 times logging in a Java based site onlinesbi.com.
    Still, I love FF :)

    Now I am not excited to get an upgrade. If that will happen to me then that sucks...

    Anyway I can't risk to upgrade with that review so I still need to wait some few weeks and then maybe upgrade :D

    Good Luck to those people that was being a beta tester :D or more like it :)

    Yeah. It must have been my connection. Everything seems much better now, besides the typical DP server time outs.

    It still uses a lot of resources though which is a shame.

    I am glad I read a couple of these opinions before I switched over to the upgrade.
