Firefox 3.0 is out

I've run it since yesterday without any ill effects.

Thanks for the heads up Mal. Just installed it.

Noticed that a lot of my Add-Ons were not compatible but, I used Nightly Tester Tools to force them to be compatible, though a couple still won't work. Guess I'll have to give them a little time to catch up.

Good. I've come to love Firefox as my default browser.

My favorite skin isn't out yet, nor image zoom and a few other things I like. The Fireftp extension however is up and running and that I use all the time. Really useful.

They were going for most downloads in 24 or something. I did 5. My job is done

One thing I've noticed and don't like is that I am missing the back button menu. You know, the little drop-down menu that lets you navigate back several pages instead of having to click the back button multiple times? It isn't present on any more. Is this just me or is this something that has changed with FF3?

Right click the back button or click the down caret?

The right click worked but I don't have a down caret. Also, forgot to mention that I have no forward button down caret but, there is a blank button to click for a menu. However, there are no words for the pages in the menu (right click also correctly works here). Very odd which is what made me wonder if I was the only one with this problem or if it was FF being buggy. Here's a screen shot:

Regarding some extensions that don't work I had to manually go out and find updates for some of my extensions that must have changed update source. So if you have one that needs updated checkout the extension's homepage. (EDIT: Note that the reason for this is because FF3 requires secure updates, which an extension may not have had a source (mozilla) that would allow that.)

Ryan, I believe the button you're missing was replaced with a single button near the forward button that shows both back and forward history. I just see now that my skin has both old buttons, but they don't work.

I think you may be correct. However, this is what I get when I click on that button...

I will add that I run WindowBlinds with a Vista type skin (as you can see from the screenshot) and don't know if that is affecting FF. I will have to deactivate WB and see if that fixes it.
