Firefox 3 Release Candidate 2 is out...

Yep, Release Candidate 2 has just come out for anyone that's interested:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html

I'm thinking this one might become the official release.

Really going out on a limb with that prediction there!

I think all my extensions finally work with 3.0 so I am going to take it for a spin now.

Re: Firefox 3 Release Candidate 2 is out...

Is anyone else seeing a minor slowdown with this release? I'm one of the people who benefited before by dropping the cache to 1MB and turning off all of Google's talk back code. This release is feeling a bit like it did when these things were on before.

Edit-->Preferences-->Security

Uncheck both of the 'Tell me if the site...' lines. That will turn off the talk back engine.

Edit-->Preferences-->Advanced-->Network

Set 'Offline Storage' to whatever value you want.

Re: Firefox 3 Release Candidate 2 is out...

thanks skottish for the "tell me if the site... " suggestion
firefox3 looks good, but I have the impression it writes "too much" on the disk... or at least more than the firefox2 does...
is it just me?

if your still getting high disk read delete urlclassifiers3.sqlite from your ~/.mozilla/profile/ directory and let firefox make a new one.

Nice. It seems be to working well. Thanks droog.

---EDIT---

After testing for a while, that doesn't help. Reading the through the above thread, and the thread that's linked to in the second to last post (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ … bug/229745), they're suggesting that it's an xulrunner issue. Seeing that xulrunner is not a dependency or make depends for FF3, it looks as if the code is being shipped internally. I guess RC3 should have the fix.

I am impressed by this release.
Fixed all my issues with sliders (e.g. http://www.tecchannel.de slider on the right caused 100% CPU usage when scrolling on 2.x).

Re: Firefox 3 Release Candidate 2 is out...

Did anyone else notice they turned on Ctrl+Q. I'm pretty sure that did nothing before, and now I've already accidentally closed many tabs twice. I had to turn on "Warn when closing multiple tabs". So I guess this is kind of a warning.

I've found some problems while watching videos with flash. It kind of blocks my sound device and it doesn't free it afterwards

same problem here, except though i have the warning enabled, it still doesn't warn me! and tab mix plus isn't compatible yet.

e: i was mistaken. there are developer builds compatible with rc3
