Having problems with FF3?

A few.

A few, but they're all deal-breakers for me.

1. The LJ HTML editor's dialogs don't return the correct input to the editor. I consistently get "javascript: void(0);" instead of the link I pasted into the link box, for instance.

2. The address bar using - and displaying - my bookmarks when I type a URL can be a problem if I have CFO looking over my shoulder while I work. I'll wait for the ability to turn that sucker off before I upgrade again. The head honcho did say in a press release that he likes that feature and so will not be altering it, but I'm willing to bet pressure from the user community will change his mind.

3. The most important: Firebug doesn't have an update for FF3.

Re: A few.

1. Ya, that is inconvenient. I use Semagic for most of my LJ posting.

2. I think this can be fixed/altered with a GreaseMonkey or Stylish script - they are lots of fun and have lots of interesting features. I am pretty sure I saw one that reverts the address bar back to it's FF2 version.

3. Firebug is working fine for me in FF3 - version 1.2.0b4.

I goofed. I loaded the 3.0 when it came out and somehow messed up all my firefox. removed it, reloaded 2.0.0.14, then --.15, and it's still messed up. It's bad enough I'm back to using (shudder) IE.

There are a few fixes for that location bar issue. I didn't like it even a little bit, so I went looking. Here's a discussion of it: http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2008/02/fix-firefox-3s-location-bar/

This is by the guy that designed the oldbar addon, which will make FF3's address bar act like FF2's address bar. Oldbar can be found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6227
