Browser dork

Firefox 3 beta 4 is rawkin. Get it in yer preferred language at the download page.

I’ve wrestled with many browsers on my iBook G4 and this version of Firefox is the best yet. It’s very fast and I can open 15-20 tabs without a slowdown or crash. I may be able to open more tabs but so far I haven’t needed to.

The UI seems very Mac-ish and the address bar seems to have gotten smarter. Two thumbs up in Zorro fashion.

    WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UPDATE AGAIN? I come to your site more often than is healthy.

    Mon dieu. Brother, you’re worse about updating this place than I am about posting to my LJ.

    I gotta say, I’ve tried the actual Firefox 3 release and… it’s ok. Certainly it’s better than Firefox has been for a while, but… it’s a lot slower than I expected.

    And the memory footprint? Yeeesh. My work did a forced upgrade to IE-7 and while I really don’t like the aesthetics of it, I’ve got 3 tabs open in it and my Windoze processes tab on the Task Manager says it’s using 3,128K
    Firefox has doesn’t have any additional tabs open and is at 41,888 K.
