So all the dloads i see are 2.0.0.14 and when i dload and run it it says fire fox version 2.0 Is this an error on my side or am i not crazy and only seeing 2.0 dload links on the email they sent me and firefox site?

I just clicked the check for compatible version button in firefox when I looked, I can't check and see if theres another version of AB up for FF3 or not, while on the topic of add-ons for firefox what skins does everyone use? the default one seems bland

[Semitry]

On a sidenote Opera 9.5 is also out, and it's quite awesome.

Is that free? As in no ads and pop ups by default or do you still need to pay to remove that.

[Robert]

unless it changed since v7 (when I used it) opera didn't have ads and you didn't have to pay to remove them

[Azalee]

Skins: I just use the plain one at home, and at work I use Aquatint Black Gloss 1.0.1

I used Opera for a while but it lagged me out of FFXI >>. My brother loves it though.

Wtf why does firefox 3.0 put my favorites in the drop down bar? shit sucks. I'm going back to the old version.

I remember awhile ago Wafik posted a way to speed up Firefox by messing with some settings. Does that need to be done again?

You don't even really need to do those things with 3.0, or at least I don't... my 3.0 is going lightning quick without any tweaks so far.
The only plugins I have right now are adblock, chatzilla and noscript

It's called "the awesome bar", you can turn it off though.

You organize your favorites a little differently in 3.0. I saw it on the preview video thingy. Sup sounds like the people in our office when we went from Office 97 to 03. "Zomg somethings slightly different, this blows, why'd you people "upgrade" our systems?? It was fine!"

[Miltani]

opera 9.5 is like a complete overhaul from previous version and the synchronization is made of win!

ff3 somehow didn't wow me like opera did with 9.5

How do you turn off the awesome bar it's irritating for me

The old bar was fine. I already have a my favorites organized and easily accessible, I don't need them to show up in the location bar. The new "awesome bar" would also show random pages that I have recently been to. Not to mention the huge-ass font. I did find out how to disable it, so i was a bit hasty with my first reply. Change = bad, status quo = good.

First, go to your Firefox settings by putting "about:config" into the location bar. Click past the warning message, and scroll down to browser.urlbar.RichResults. This sets how many recommendations the Awesome Bar will display -- it's 12 by default, but you want to change it to 0.

My bad, i didn't remember downloading anything, so I didn't think it was an add-on.

I don't even know what you guys are talking about as far as the "Awesome Bar" >.> Screenshot it so I can see it?

[Dmitry]

I just tried to run the executable and I was told it was corrupt.

Redownload it, I just had the same problem. Their server is getting reamed from all the traffic.
