Much improved loading time on gmail.
It took me forever to get the site to load to be able to download. You would figure they were expecting a ton of people and would have had there servers ready. I bet they made the record.

Thanks for the heads up Pureblood
I used the direct download link from [color=\"#2E8B57\"]< HERE >[/color] (http://\"http://www.dozleng.com/updates/index.php?act=calendar&cal_id=1&code=showevent&event_id=53750\")
NOTE: English version
Only took about 30 secs. with the Downloadthemall addon from firefox to get the new version

Going to uninstall 2.0.0.14 right now and try installing the latest
Edit>>Uninstall and install went fine
Seems as if only one of my addons is not compatible right now
Dr. Web anti-virus link checker
Oh well, all bookmarks intact
P.S. We should have a software update section

Firefox 3 download counter

Well, 7 of my 42 Addon's were not compatible, I was able to find private updates on their personal sites for 2 of them, and then I messed around with 2 others to make them compatible myself. Still working on the other three.
Has anyone else noticed that you can't use Quick Edit on IPB forums? That's a little annoying for me. It opens just fine, but when you hit save edits it just stays at the loading screen forever.

I'm going to hold up on installing ver 3 on my other computers
Compare any differences and problems when time permits

Yup, thought it was my internet connection acting up but I guess this is a problem for everyone.
42 Addons must make your Firefox slow...

I actually did some pruning a few weeks ago and got rid of a lot of my addons. The 42 I have installed are just the ones I consider necessary.
Without addons like Simple Mail, Yahoo Mail Notifier, Gmail Notifier, etc., I wouldn't ever remember to check all my emails. Colorzilla, FireFTP, IE Tab, etc. are amazingly convenient for developers. Without ForcastFox, I wouldn't have any idea what number to put into the sentence "Holy freaking crap, it's <insert ForcastFox Number here> degree's outside!" on ventrilo. Addon's like Disable Backspace Navigation make it so you don't accidentally go back a page if you hit backspace, losing potentially valuable information. Almost all of my addons are things I would find it hard to live without.
The only two I can't seem to get working are FasterFox and Compact Menu. Already I'm getting highly annoyed by the extra toolbar at the top that I'm not used to. Luckily FireFox 3 seems to be fast enough that I don't notice a difference in not having FasterFox.

I lol'd when I read the forcast fox thing.
FasterFox = not necessary with Firefox 3
Right click near awesome bar -> customize or check and uncheck bookmarks and/or navigation bar or whatever is listed for you.
Is paypal's thingy working with Firefox 3 yet?

I wasn't talking about those bars. I usually have a mod called Compact Menu. It gets rid of the bar that has "File, Tools, Help, etc." at the top, and gives it a small button that creates a drop down when clicked so you can put it on another toolbar to save a lot of vertical space.

Oooooooh. My bad.

Oh, and quick edit works on every other forum except here at TTG. It might have been done on purpose as it's a good way to keep the moderator logs complete, but it also might be a bug. It was probably just a coincidence that it was done on the same day we all upgraded browsers.
