Firefox 3

General Topics
1

Hey guys I have just installed Firefox 3 and am currently very happy with the changes I see and have used so far the only thing I have noted that I dislike is that the Linkscanner Lite ad-on is still incompatible with Firefox 3 :frowning: is there any other “browser protectors” that are compatible with Firefox 3?

Once again:

it’s a 3 months old replica from our friend POLONUS!!! It works fine for me! :wink:

Finjan is my choice.
Other options will be SiteAdvisor and Scandoo.

4

WOT, http://www.mywot.com/ works with firefox 3.0, I think it is quicker than Finjan, certainly on my system it is.

5

Finjan isn’t compatible with version 3 ??? ???

6

The database is too small… see, for instance, xxx.cracks.com (changing for www).

Wasn’t at the first days… I think it is now. If it is not, it’s ‘forced’ in my system but it’s working fine.

Sorry Tech but I refuse to force anything. Doing so makes it impossible to uninstall.

8

You’re right. I did it for two or three extensions only. If they mess the system, I’ll start from the scratch and won’t install them anymore.

Downloading from the site it works and says it’s compatible… don’t be paranoid :wink:

installed it Tech from their website and it’s on my ff3 now-but still on the firefox add-on site it says-This add-on is for older versions of Firefox-that’s where i was checking it from ::slight_smile: ???

Not exactly on subject, but has anyone else noticed more pop under ads using Firefox 3?

I have found in particular that if I log into ITV.com F1 site that I always get two pop under ads loading once I tab a news item, the interesting thing is this does not happen doing exactly the same thing with Firefox 2?

I have ticked the stop pop up tab in both, but have not loaded any extensions so both versions are currently running as downloaded.

Hi Thorny,

Yep, man, the ad-launchers get smarter all of the time, ABP blocks most of them, furthermore a nice one for these persistent things is the RIP add-on for Fx 3.0, and you can make these pop-unders rest in peace for ever. Another way to go about it is to block Flash with NoScript (general settings) so that you are asked all the time you wanna let the Flash thingies run inside the browser, just a question of one allowing click on the specific link, but with RIP they are gone forever: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/521 (If not compatible first take on the Nightly Tester Tools and enforce the Remove It Permanently: Firefox add-on that way).

Neither are SiteAdvisor.Netcraft Anti phishing toolbar,and DrWeb link checker,as I’ve just found out.Wished I’d waited a while. >:(

It’s sad (or unbelievable) that FF3 was in beta since last year as Gran Paradiso (if I’m not wrong) and till now there are a lot of non-compatible, non-developed, addons.

Hi Polonus,

Thanks for the reply and info, giving ABP a try, so far good results:)
Have Back up plan, downloaded Opera!

Not sure that I actually like FF3, does seems not to run as smoothly on my setup as FF2, and I really don’t believe its any faster.

Cheers,

Thorny
