I got right on »www.mozilla.com last night around 6pm with no problem, and downloaded FF in a matter of seconds. Although later on in the evening 8 or 9pm EST or so, mozilla.com had trouble resolving. Not sure what that was about.

I think this is the first time in history - my history that is - where I downloaded, installed, and used a brand new release of a program on its first day.
I did that with Vista. It was fun to see no updates after a clean install.

I've been running the FF 3 RC for a while.

That's all fine and dandy, but I'm not talking about live.com, a Microsoft site. I'm talking about a website (webmail from an ISP to be more specific) that was built and coded specifically for users with a Mozilla/FF browser. It works fine in FF2, but chokes in FF3. That just makes no sense.

And what does it say about Mozilla if we are forced to use an "IE" add-on to make web pages render correctly?
If it was written to standards, it would work, unless there's some bug, in which case you should file a bug report.

Using the IE tab option for a website built specifically for Mozilla browsers doesn't seem like it is going to help.

I find it amazing that a website interface for Mozilla/Firefox works fine with FF2 but breaks with FF3.
It worked just fine for me. I opened my.live.com with the IE Tab addon and it looks identical to what it looks like in IE7.

either way that is barely any memory usage. My PCs have 2GB to 4GB of memory. I'm not worried about a program using 50MB or 100MB.

Elitist?

Try not wanting to waste time writing workarounds for every broken page on the Internet. Make it the site author's problem. After all, if they're not writing to standards, you can't even know what they mean, so anything you do could very well be wrong.

With the market share Firefox has, any broken commercial sites will be fixed.

You obviously have no clue what Netscape was doing before they abandoned the project entirely. Netscape 4 was an utter piece of shit. It was only by a miracle that IE was an even worse piece of shit, and that changed with IE4, which sucked, but not that bad. Of course, Netscape 4 (but not 4.5) could be excused, for the standards were weak to nonexistent. What couldn't be excused was the bloated mess of spaghetti code.

Use the IE Tab addon:

Mozilla made a conscious decision to NOT continue to work with web sites that don't meet web page design standards. IE7 still includes some workarounds for non-complying web code. When IE8 comes out, IE will also be more stringent about displaying non-compliant code correctly.

In the meantime the IE Tab addon works very well for me on those few sites with problems - most of which are Microsoft sites.

The thing that kept me from putting FF2 as my default browser was after an half hour of usage, the memory usage shot up quadrupole the amount causing the browser to be slow and unusable until you exit out of it and open it back up. That got very annoying real fast and kept me using IE6 since I did not have that problem with it.

Here's to hoping that is fixed in FF3 so I can make the complete switch!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662488 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:12:27 EDT Re: Love FF http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662065 anon :

Try the IE Tab addon. It allows you to open a tab in IE or a separate IE window if you want just by right clicking on a link. And you can also have it automatically open certain web sites you choose always open in an IE tab within Firefox.
