Firefox 3 Beta 1 Review

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the download-yours-today dept.

DaMan writes "The newly-released Firefox 3 beta 1 has been reviewed by ZDnet and the verdict is that it is good. 'Is Firefox 3.0 going to be better? Given what I'm seeing so far, I think so. Why? Because it looks like Mozilla have gone back to basics and worked on what really matters to users — security, speed and ease of use ... Everything about Firefox 3.0 beta 1 is fast. The download package is small which means that it comes in fast, the installation is fast, the browser fires up fast, pages and tabs open fast, the browser shuts down fast, and the uninstall process is fast and painless.'"

      All 4 look identical to me:

      The connection has timed out
      The server at www.forumpix.co.uk is taking too long to respond.
      * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
      moments.
      * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
      connection.
      * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
      that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
