Hugo I'm convinced now that the freeze was unrelated to FF3; I was logged in as the second user, and I experienced another freeze as I shut down Galeon followed by Icewm/X. I'm leaning toward it being an Icewm problem. But, another issue with FF3; it defaults to what I consider an unpleasant behavior, in that when you middle-click on a link to open the link in a new tab, FF3 switches focus to that tab. There's a setting to turn that off, which is good. But later when I went back to FF2 (iceweasel), it now exhibits that same default FF3 behavior (which it has not done in the past), and I can't figure any way to turn it off, even though I've found the setting for it. Arg. I should have known better than to use FF3 by a live user and then switch back to FF2 so that settings could mix. Ah, just found another setting not obvious, and it fixed my problem. All's good now. So, my final answer? FF3 is fine, but I see no compelling reason yet to upgrade. Once my plugins work with it, and it's packaged for Sid, I'll pro'lly upgrade. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hugo Vanwoerkom wrote: Hi, Very few [OT]'s nowadays. Anybody try the new firefox 3? I just downloaded it last night. I logged in on a second X session as a second user and untarred it in that user's home directory and ran it directly from there. I only ran it 30 mins or so, and didn't put it through it's paces. It didn't feel or look any different, really. (But I was running a dist-upgrade in the background part of that time, so that might have slowed things down.) Then when I closed it and went to log out of X/Icewm, the machine froze. I didn't have another machine with which to try to remote in, so I don't know how frozen the machine was, but as far as I could tell from the console, it was totally non-responsive. I have no idea what caused the freeze-up, but it seemed suspicious that it happened right when I was closing FF. Earlier I had closed FF, and when I restarted, was told an instance of FF was already running, so there may have been a dangling FF process still running from my earlier attempt. A second attempt at firing up FF started normally. All this to say that my first taste of FF3 has not impressed me yet with speed or function, and I have a suspicion (very likely unjustified) that it contributed to my lock-up. Of course, it is beta software (Oh, I also had Iceweasel-Sid running on the first X session under the first user, so that could have conceivably added to the problems.) -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I only used it for about one day, but I really liked it. The GUI for managing Places is very nice, although it didn't yet have support for things like mass tagging. The way Places works in the URL bar is just fantastic! I didn't get around to trying the advanced Places searching. It seemed very snappy, and the page zoom is nice. And I always get excited about better standards support. Anyway, I am really waiting for more of the features (especially Places) to make it into the Mozilla nightlies, which is what I have been using for a few months now.
