    "Big disappointment"

    by tbm3efan on June 25, 2008

    Pros: Was never able to find out other than what looked like a nice toolbar.

    Cons: Was incredibly slow at loading web pages which rendered it useless.

    Summary: My computer satisfied Mozillas requirements. As soon as 3.0 was installed and the browser came up there was nothing but a blank screen that was stalled. I thought the router was down again but when I tried IE 6 it worked perfectly. Firefox 3 was so incapable that I needed to use their competitor to access the Mozilla support site. Lots of comments about slow this and that. Then lots of suggestions about doing this and that, checking this and that. I won't do that. I you aren't ready for prime time then you shouldn't release the program until you can count on most everyone having a seamless transition. Since I don't use IE I needed to get back to Firefox 2.0 and luckily still had the original download stored away. Uninstalled 3.0 and then re-installed 2.0 which then worked perfectly and at normal high speed in connecting to the web. So long Firefox 3 as there is no way that is going on any of my computers
