Green Flamingobecause I said so

Edit : From my another later post, declaring I like it better now.

Mozilla Firefox 3.0 – After my last post yesterday, I bet there were mixed thoughts on Firefox 3.0. But now I must assure you to download it. I am not going to delete that post, for it showed my thoughts at the time, but I am going to tell you that it is fine.

• The add-ons are now updated, and they are upgraded too. Some may still be behind, but I assume those will come soon.
• Now that I have my Google Toolbar back, all customized, along with some other upgraded add-ons, I do not see the resemblance as much to the ugly-in-my-mind-Internet Explorer. This is a big bonus.

Yesterday was the download day of Mozilla Firefox 3.0! I did take place in fact, and I’m here to talk about it.

I am sorry I didn’t talk about this yesterday, but Photoshop was doing it’s thing and it didn’t want me to have any other programs running(though I did have AIM).

You can still download now! Just go right here!

Before you download though you may want to consider some of the things I have to say. I am not as happy with Firefox 3 as I could be.

-It is new and improved. Well how? It does look a bit newer, but it looks similar to something else I’ve seen before (cough-micro-cough-soft-cough).

-I don’t like that it looks like IE8. That really does bother me. Though the whole thing does not completely copy IE8, then there is some deep similarity.

-The biggest reason why I hate it so much is that the ffing google toolbar doesn’t work. I use that daily. It has my bookmarks, a link to gmail that tells me if I have new mail and so on and so forth. Losing Google Toolbar is a huge downfall on Firefox 3.

-I am helping Mozialla reach the goal – I helped to reach the world record, which I guess brings my spirit up about it.

- Final thoughts – my final thoughts on Firefox 3.0 is that is you are in for some losses but a sleek look, then go for it. You can’t be motivated my helping Mozilla for the yesterday is over.(I think it was on a 24 hour basis though, so if you hurry you might make it)

I have now pretty much decided that my main browser will be Mozilla Firefox. I owe this much to tech-buzz.net and and also part to a guest post by Karthik Kastury. It is about 10 great softwares that really help with a website. I have had Firefox for a while but have not really used it that much. I first installed it by following a link from tech-buzz, up at the top. Since sometime in January then I have been reading tech-buzz, by Thilak Raj Rao.

Now, about Firefox. I am not transferring completely, but with websites I am. I can use IE for stupid stuff like you tube videos or games, sites that don’t help you get very far in life. Well, maybe some of youtube is informational, but you can find written information as well. So, a few of the things or add-ons I installed for Firefox are:

StumbleUpon toolbar, which is just a handy toolbar for stumbleupon access, and will help you find information.

The next one I looked into was scribefire, and I am going to see about OpenDNS when I have more time.

Google calendar and Google notebook also work well. Sorry that there’s no link for those but it automatically logs me in.

The last ones I have invested in so far are Firebug and YSlow which work together and help with viewing stats, performance and things. Basically analyzing things.

The other things I am looking forward to! And be sure to read that post! There you can get short descriptions and complete links to the sites they came from to download them.

*Note* Most of the items listed are Firefox add-ons and therefore are only compatible with Firefox. But Firefox is one of the 10 best softwares.
