anarkhy Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 They really need to do something with the interface. I'm a firefox addict but chrome is so clean and nice to use.

Quillz Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Should I bother with Beta 3 if I'm already using the Minefield "nightly" builds? Do those automatically update on their own?

L0u1s Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I've switched to chrome a few months ago. When I go back on FireFox you actually feel it's sloooooow. Chrome misses 2 things IMO. Adblock and Foxmarks. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/742800-firefox-31-beta-3-coming-on-march-10/page/2/#findComment-590681478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 9, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sub_Zero_Alchemist said: Not at this rate, i think safari 4 will have another beta before going final and SF 4 willl be released before Firefox 3.5 goes final. the third beta has been pushed back to March 12. and Firefox will now go from 3.1 to 3.5. beta 3 will still use the 3.1 number. and they will be a beta 4. Here's the Status on all this.... Probably wouldn't surprise me, they've been working on Safari 4 for a long time, their first preview release was released just before Firefox 3 was released.

What's the proper way to update it since the check for updates isn't working at the moment? Just get the .dmg, open it, and drag and drop into Applications. It'll override everything, but should still keep your bookmarks and passwords etc. Easy as pie. I've noticed various Speed increases around nearly all websites, even Neowin!

The Firefox auto-update feature works with stable releases, not betas. If you want to be as up-to-date as possible, use Minefield instead of this beta. Minefield auto-updates every day to the latest nightly.
