Just make sure all instances of FF are closed when running from the card.<br /> The Portable Apps version is still 2.0.0.14<br /> -edited for content correction </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-3-rc1#post-25541 Wed, 21 May 2008 09:54:00 +0000 InDiSent 25541@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I just installed it on my laptop for the heck of it.

I just think that no one can tell you if you should install something or not. That is totally your decision to make after doing the research. I personally have not installed any of the beta versions of FF3 and will patiently wait for the final version. I want to make sure all of my extensions and themes that i use will be supported before upgrading to FF3. Again, I love FF and it's the only browser i use. If i end up at site the requires IE, i just use the IE tabs extension. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-3-rc1#post-25029 Sun, 18 May 2008 17:22:23 +0000 xenomex 25029@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i'll just wait for the stable version..im not in a hurry. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-3-rc1#post-24952 Sun, 18 May 2008 10:00:29 +0000 Scott 24952@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>CPJames, it's not that Firefox 3 isn't cool, but until it's a final release, install at the risk of broken extensions and themes (as stated above). The final is expected within 2-5 weeks.</p> <p>@xenomex. if InDiSent's comment was for you, it's a worthy caveat. I've seen no documentation (yet) for installing over-the-top or not. </p> <p>MR Tech is an excellent extension regardless of version you use. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-3-rc1#post-24949 Sun, 18 May 2008 08:48:20 +0000 CPJames19 24949@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@indisent. install @ ur own risk...firefox 3 rc1's kwl, most of the problemos frm lst firefox 3 beta 5 has bin ironed out in ths version </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-3-rc1#post-24915 Sun, 18 May 2008 00:17:56 +0000 InDiSent 24915@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Install at your own risk. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-3-rc1#post-24834 Sat, 17 May 2008 16:23:05 +0000 xenomex 24834@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@Geek, look, should i install Firefox RC1 over Firefox 2 or not?<br /> is it worth it? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-3-rc1#post-24818 Sat, 17 May 2008 14:37:27 +0000 The Geek 24818@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>A fairly large number of themes and extensions won't work with this release, including extensions that worked with firefox 3 beta 5.</p> <p>You can install the nightly tester tools or Mr Tech - Local Install extensions to make the other extensions compatible (just search for them in the add-ons panel)</p> <p>[edit: thanks to scott for pointing out the right name for mr tech] </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-3-rc1#post-24817 Sat, 17 May 2008 14:32:36 +0000 Scott 24817@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>And contrary to my peers, I suggest you download this Firefox build from the Mozilla folks themselves, <a href='http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html'>http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html</a><br /> and Final releases at <a href='http://www.getfirefox.com'>http://www.getfirefox.com</a><br /> The benefits are numerous. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-3-rc1#post-24813 Sat, 17 May 2008 14:28:35 +0000 Scott 24813@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Contact the author of the theme,<br /> <a href='mailto:kelly@webether.com'>kelly@webether.com</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-3-rc1#post-24811 Sat, 17 May 2008 14:14:41 +0000 frigiliana 24811@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Can you tell me if i can use Macfoxll graphite theme with firefox3 i have heard you can't</p> <p>Cheers Dave </p>
