There are "release candidates" of Ff3 available for download as public betas. The Google toolbar is not yet compatible for the beta releases:
"The Google Toolbar is currently available for release versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0+ and Mozilla Firefox 1.5+. Please note that it isn't currently compatible with Internet Explorer 8 beta or Firefox 3 beta." http://www.google.com/support/firefox/bin/...amp;topic=11798 Regards, John This post has been edited by jgweed: Jun 12 2008, 01:21 PM -------------------- Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one should be silent.

wow... but why do they have an ff 3 beta when they should be concentrating on improving ff2?
--dont think i worded that right: i mean, 2.0.0.14's such a small number to skip to 3 from This post has been edited by TechniMan: Jun 14 2008, 04:54 AM -------------------- The|Technical|Man

Hi nat,
You can download FF3 from here:http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html There is multiple lanugages you can choose from. I saw a tutorial on Mozilar fox before, nows there is another one you might want to take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBf1e7uVFEE It tells you about some of the new features of FF3, I don't use FF3 so I don't know much about it. Regards, Extremeboy -------------------- There are places in us that have no limitations.
If I'm helping you and I haven't replied within 48 hours please feel free to send me a PM, Thanks. |

The reason they jumped to FF3 is because it represents a significant development of FF rather than simply a few incremental improvements to FF2.
