Thanks, I like it so far. I heard some complaints about the address bar from those that tested beta. But so far I really like that feature myself.

I like it so far too. The only problems I had after upgrading is

 

1. that several bookmarks are shown twice now

 

2. in the last tab of the extensions section (don´t know what that tab is called in english), I have something I can disable, but I don´t know what it does so lets keep it enabled (marked in red in screen shot).

Well that's a plugin with no name. All mine have names and bookmarks did not duplicate. It seems notably faster than FF2.

that word is swedish for inactive

LOL, I think he knew what that word was. He is from Sweden.

[TCH-Thomas]

It was what the tab is called in the english versions not what the "inaktivera" button is called.

I´ll assume the tab is called "plugins" as Bruce says above.

 

I still thinks it´s weird that the Firefox people hides a plugins name for me/us.

[TCH-Bruce]

Yes, the tab is called "plugins" in the English version.

I saw this topic last night, and upgraded to 3.0 earlier this morning. Although I haven't had a chance to check out all the new features yet, I do like it so far. It does seem to be faster, and there is a 3.0 compatible Web Developer Tool Bar available.

 

Thomas, thanks for the heads up.

Thomas,

Did you have any plugins that synchronize your bookmarks? If so, I wonder if it acted up when you did the upgrade and caused some duplication.

[TCH-Thomas]

No sorry. I have no such plugins/extensions.

I seem to have trouble getting it to keep me logged into iGoogle/Gmail...any suggestions?

[TCH-Thomas]

I have a sort of related problem.

Not always but very often, Firefox crash when I try to log in to my gmail account.

[TCH-Bruce]

I use the GMail Notifier plugin. When I click it to go to GMail I am not logged in but my credentials are already filled in and all I have to do is hit the submit button and it logs in.

[TCH-Thomas]

I´m using it too and using it the same way as you Bruce.

[TCH-Thomas]

I did some research and it looks like lots of people have problems with FF 3 and Gmail.

 

They do not say which extensions they use, so I haven´t figured out if it´s a FF or extension problem, but FF 3.01 appears to arrive mid july so hopefully the problems will go away then.

I think I will just stick with version 2 for now. I put FF3 on my laptop and was not impressed. To many plugins and such that I use that do not work or do not work correctly.
