Well after waiting for firefox 3 to become available for the UK which wasn’t until the late evening of download day i finally got the updated full release and am very happy with it. I’d been using the RC2 for a while and was enjoying it, i’ve been an IE guy for all the time i’ve been using the internet i wasn’t a big user of firefox until 3 was released in it’s beta form. After downloading and installing the final release i noticed the incredible change in loading speeds, i read somewhere that it’s supposed to be 7 times faster than IE and well not quite sure if it’s 7 times faster but it’s definitely a lot faster tha anything i have used for internet browsing in the past.

Like i said i am a IE guy but since installing firefox 3 i have now been using nothing but firefox for browsing, i do come across some issues but that’s mainly to do with plug-ins and add ons and things like that. As for themes, i haven’t really looked up any themes yet as i don’t think there are any available (not fully sure on that) but i’m not really interested in them as firefox looks ok to me and to be honest it’s just the speeds i’m happy with. I do have at least 10 tabs saved for opening when i open firefox and it does get a bit slow when trying to load all the content but i can understand that, i’m sure you’ve probably downloaded firefox 3 anyway and if you have then i hope you are enjoying it.

As far as i know download day was a huge success with the amount of downloads, i just hope nobody was playing around and decided to be stupid about it and download it like 10 time or something just to raise the number. As for downloading the browser well that did take quite a while but again that’s understandable with all the other people that were downloading it. So like the title of this post says, forget the fasterfox plug-in to speed things up cause i don’t think it’ll be needed for quite a while (for me at least). Thanks for reading
