This is going to solve a lot of headaches for jamie at work if the people testing stuff I build upgrade to FF3 ---

One thing I noticed that wasn’t there in RC or 2 is that if you singleclick the location text, it selects everything. On RC and ff2 I had to doubleclick to make that happen. I like it. ---

Okay I can’t get it to crash so I feel it was a decent release (minus the whole advanced editor thing). ---

what am I missing? I’ve reinstalled the flash player about 15 times and I’m still getting that annoying little puzzle piece for anything that requries the flash player. :hair: ---

^Install it from [adobe.com](http://adobe.com) instead of the internal one… and restart your browser. Also flash should of never disappeared. ---

Download the “remove all flash player versions” thing and run that first. [http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes.html#install](http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes.html#install) ---

Grrrr, still not working. WTF? Am I that stupid or could it be an IT/firewall/work computer issue? Usually I need admin privileges to install any new software but I was able to install the Flash player and FF 3 no problem . . . ---

Yea… must be a security thing… odd I’ve never heard of flash being blocked by security things before. Does it work in IE/Safari/Opera? ---

If it’s not working in any browser then the plugin is either corrupt or wasn’t installed properly. Call your tech guy and buy him a bagel ; ) ---

unfortunately, they aren’t totally on the ball :sigh: so I’ll just have to live without for the moment. I’m sure they’ll upgrade everyone at some point. thanks for the help. ---

Guys… I’ve been noticing weirdness in hit areas in flash on FF3 (fp10) Youtube especially the play/pause button acts really bizarre for me. Anyone else got this? edit (btw sorry about absolutely spamming this thread…); I uninstalled FP10 and reverted to 9.0.124 and that took away the problem so it’s definitely something FF3/FP10 specific. Not sure if it’s mac only tho… ---

Started using FF3 yesterday, can’t say its going to make me switch over from Safari to be honest. ---

I’m trying to switch _into_ safari, but there are too, too many workflow-inhibiting factors that come into play. For example, I’m lazy and use my keyboard for most navigation, so like, I’ll do a ctrl-F (command-f) to find a string that exists in the url i want to click, and then i press escape, and then enter and bingo, i’ve _clicked_ the link. I’ve got it down to a fine science now, most of the time its quicker than using a mouse. The escape-then-enter doesn’t work in safari. ---

I surprised at you Mac guys, I’d have figured you’d have taken Opera over Safari. I’ve never had anything but bad experiences with Safari. I guess it comes with the Mac (like Internet Explorer and Windows), but it just doesn’t have the features that Firefox or Opera has. Opera works pretty well, but I really like having all the extension options that Firefox has.
