Seems like the more I hear, the more I do not want firefix 3. Yes
that was a typo but when I went to correct it I realized it was really
correct as I see so many stories about how to fix firefox so it works
like it used to.
If you read the bug report, it states that this change was intentional and not a bug. The upstream version of firefox does not have this change implemented.
I know I uninstalled it until such time as
googlesync will work with it. I went back to Firefox 2.
Heck, one of the fixes I saw was how to disable firefox's version
checking so the old add-ons (or many of them) will still work. Sounds
like a broken product to me -- or should I say a broken improvement.
IOW, the version checking is important but to force add-ons which
actually still work with the new software to not be usable is a wrong
solution.
Firefox 3 is not stable software, it is a release candidate you
know ;). I still run firefox 2 on my main machine because I too need
extensions. I can't complain though, I'm pretty satisfied with firefox 3 and I haven't had any major problems.
