Thanks, just updated!

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

Thanks! Updating!

 

I got that downloaded like it was 1699.

 

Thanks mate, I'm using it now.

Thanks, I'm on my "upgrade-way"

 

my 3.0.3 has Cookie leaks.


suddenly pages lose my password and i have to re-type them.

also, facebook doesnt sign in sometimes..claiming 'cookies have to be enabled'

 

ta for heads up

 

Should be available in December if all goes well. The second beta should be out any day now.


Also, for anyone still using Fx2... 2.0.0.18 came out at the same time as 3.0.4.

 

Just crashed three times in a row on completely different web pages. I might roll back to previous release.

 

Is FF3.0.x slow to start for anyone?

Sometimes when I open FF it takes just a bit longer than normal to start. Other times it's quick-fast like a bullet!

No extensions or anything. Just a default set-up on 3.0.4

 

I have 3.0.4, 3.1b1, and 3.1b2pre installed, and all of them open in about half a second with a clean profile. With about 10 extensions installed, each takes about a second or a second and a half.

 

don't know what the problem was but it wouldn't run for me. it installed and opened, but didn't load pages. had to revert back to 3.0.3. Have comodo installed, maybe that's why. will give it a shot again.

 

No problems yet, using it in Linux and Windows.

 

I have Comodo also - and no issue here. Were you updating/upgrading or manually install it?

cheers ...

 

I doubt Comodo is causing problems; I also have it installed. However, it could be blocking it from modifying files it needs to update, depending on your settings. Mine notifies me that FF is trying to create a new dir or modify files, and I have to approve it.

 

The Mozilla target timelines

 

Heck, I'm still using 1.5 on this computer. My gaming rig has .9 on it. Any recent updates for them?

 

Considering their end-of-life was years ago... no.

 

updating thru firefox itself.

that's probably the reason. next time i do an update, i gotta be more careful, cuz comodo was asking me a bunch of stuff during the update.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Is using comodo worth a try? Just want to know, thanks

 

updater.exe needed to be checked as "installer or updater" in the D+ pop up.

 

Yeah, but it has a bit of a learning curve. I highly suggest reading the help files thoroughly. If you decide not to install their anti-virus component, it will still be in the help files. It may also do it's own virus check before installing regardless of if you install the AV.

 

Thanks for the answer. I already use AVG, so is it still needed to installing comodo to improve security?

 

Comodo may or may not scan for viruses. I'm not sure since they've moved on to their Internet Security package. Either way, you'll want to disable all AV or anti spyware products upon installation of Comodo and any other running programs. If it happens to scan, you should be fine. It's just so the product doesn't set permissions for malware and is only a one time scan.

 

i had kaspersky running while installing comodo - everything went alright
thanks for suggestion, Hiker!
