    Hi!

    Anybody here testing Firefox 3 ?
    Can you make this part clearer (it's about the improvements over v2):

    http://blog.mozilla.com


    Is the malware protection the rummor months ago that Google and Mozilla were working together to make Firefox3 get info from Google about known malicious sites or it is something else (e.g. connected to the so called "anti-virus integration in the download manager")


    Thanks in advance! :thumb:

    Sound greater .


    However , I remember people talking about how will this reflect the browsing speed . Will FF3 check before visiting any site or it will have an internal database which is supposed to be regularly updated ?

    Just wondering why Firefox 3 wants to "hook" onto my keyboard?

    There are several keyboard short cuts for Firefox thats why. What firewall are you using? Comodo?

    I switched from Tiny Personal Firewall to Comodo to Jetico.

    Yes Comodo flagged it.

    I'd recommend that you back up your profile first, and create a new one for the beta. I don't understand this fully, but the way firefox deals with profile information has been changed a great deal between 2 and 3, so you can lose all your bookmarks and such.
