Firefox 3.5, Portable Edition Arrives
You may already have the new Firefox 3.5 browser, but now, courtesy of the folks at PortableApps, you can get the portable version of Firefox 3.5 as well. It's downloadable here, and, like the other portable versions of popular open source applications that PortableApps offers, it's perfect as a lightweight app that you can keep on a USB thumb drive or other portable device. It comes bundled with a PortableApps launcher, so you can launch it directly from a USB thumb drive and have Firefox available with your customizations no matter where you are.
Getting Used to Firefox 3.5? Try These Resources
Now that Firefox 3.5 has been released, you may be interested in customizing your experience with it, and learning more about the many new features available in it. Here are over five good resources worth spending some time with if you want to get the most out of what I consider to be the best, most extensible browser.
Chrome started to not work after some virus/trojan problem. Any idea why?
I have installed chrome last week.. It was working fine at that time. There was a torjan/virus infection on my winlogon.exe recently and I realized this when I have to start my computer two times, in order to succesffully login to the system.. Anyway AVG antivirus has found and cleaned the virus. I made a full system search with it and also used Spyware Doctor for a possible spyware infection too.. Now as far as I see there is nothing in the system.. However chrome started to not work on any site giving the error belows. iexplorer and firefox seems to be working on some basic sites and for some others giving "Content Encoding Error".(Eventhough I have reinstalled them)
Chrom is giving (net::ERR_FAILED): for all sites... I don't want to reinstall whole system just for this strange situation. any suggestions?
Is anyone else seeing issues with Firebug 1.2.0 in Firefox 3.0.1?
I noticed that sometimes a cached object doesn't show up in the Net tab that it was loaded and other times it shows up as a HTTP 304 response. Does anyone know what causes the difference between the two?
Selenium
Has anyone used the Selenium plug-in for Firefox? (web application testing system)
Is Firefox 3.x slow & resource-hungry?
I've noticed that Firefox 3 is slower than the earlier versions & seems to be more resource-hungry. I'm thinking about permanently switching over to Opera, which is very fast. But the drawback is that I will miss my FF addons. Has anybody had bad experiences with FF3?
Firefox 3 is running sloooooooooooooooooooow
I'm using a Mac w/ Leopard and firefox 3 has been crawling off late. I never had this problem with FF 2 - does anyone know why this might be happening - a software conflict? I don't know, any ideas?
