Firefox 3 : The Good, the Bad

The Good is that it does feel faster,and it now sports a UI that looks much more Mac native.

The Bad is that many plugins don't work yet, such as FireBug! In addition, the Selenium support for Firefox is glitchy with the new release.

Update: People are coming out of the woodwork to point me at the Firebug for FF3 ... check the comments!

  4. Firebug 1.2b3 for Firefox 3 is available here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843

    But like all beta versions, it is not working perfectly. This is why I have installed Flock with Firebug 1.0.5 in it. Flock is Firefox 2.0.x with a nice GUI.

    In the end I have FF3 with FB1.2b3.
    And FF2 with FB 1.0.5.

  6. Firebug does work, but it didn't auto-update for me when FF3 was installed. You have to grab the new version.
    "Firebug 1.2 requires Firefox 3. Firefox 2 users should install the older 1.05 version of Firebug. "

  18. Why does my eventlistener not work on Firefox?
    Only can work on Opera. It said something like an element not recognized (i know it from firebug).

  19. ^^^^ If you have Y-Slow installed, see if your app works with it Y-Slow disabled. I've encountered some problems with JS events getting lost when using Y-Slow. Does it work in the IE Tab? Consult the Tapestry Mailing list for questions like this.
