firefox 3 problem

bone · June 29th, 2008, 11:26 AM

i've been using a beta version of firefox 3 for months, and haven't had any problems

now i installed the official release, and my enter-button doesn't seem to work to open an url, i always have to grab my mouse, and het the go button

and normally, i just type the hostname, and press ctrl-enter, so he adds the www. and .com automatically...which makes it double annoying, caus i have to change the url each time as well

anyone else have this problem?

It works for me, both enter and ctrl+enter. But on this install of windows i havent had any previous versions of FF3, just the official one. So maybe it's a matter of your beta not uninstalling correctly or if you installed over, then it might not have updated correctly.

Just try to completely uninstall, download a fresh copy and install again.

Not really necessary... I uninstalled the pre-release version, then installed FF3, and all my bookmarks are still there.

Yeah I know, I was talking about if he had a FF2 and he had the pre-release installed, if he uninstalls the FF2 all in together it might get him to loose his Bookmarks.

It happened to me and I was pissed and I don't like to see it happening to anyone else images/smilies/wink.gif

^ It appears when typing the URL, its an arrow to the right.

I just installed FireFox 3 no problems for me so far. But I have been hearing some people have quite a bit of Flash problems.

Thanks.

I think i've been having flash issues. A lot of videos like to bog down my computer's resources quite extensively. Hopefully they find a fix to this soon.

KaJuN · June 29th, 2008, 8:22 PM

^ I've always had that problem with embedded Youtube videos. They completely overpower my system and even changing the volume lags until I pause the video. And as soon as I click play my laptop's fan revs up to like 11 million RPM. When I view the videos on Youtube itself everything is fine. /images/smilies/blink.gif

chaos386 · June 30th, 2008, 10:19 AM

^That's because on Youtube you only have the one video on the page, while somewhere like the Cool Videos thread has a bajillion of them.

hansvonaxion · June 30th, 2008, 10:26 AM

Haven't had that particular problem but have had a couple others.

Download window is fuxored.
An add-on crashed it a couple of times.

Oh and I also have the CPU overheat issue when playing Youtube vids, even from their site (same in FF2 tho).

You guys suck at Firefox.

Even when there's only one embedded video on the page my computer still freaks out. /images/smilies/blink.gif
