Yeah, I know... I made a thread about Firefox 3 beta 2 last december but wooh.
For anyone who thinks Firefox 2 takes way too much memory, I would recomend to try out Firefox 3 beta 4. Despite being a beta, I find it quite usable... and it takes much less memory too. Less than the other browsers too!. Only problem I found was some extensions breaking, but more and more extensions updated rather recently to support the beta. And the only one that didn't update for me... I just enabled with the nightly testing tools. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

...Wow. Firefox beat Opera in memory usage? Awesomely amazing (or amazingly awesome, if you prefer). I might just switch back to Firefox once they put out the final release (I stick with stable releases now because Opera 9.5b permacrashed (I can't even uninstall it )). ____________________ |

I would call those extensions.
Technically a Extension is a type of plugin, but in the case of firefox extensions are stuff that extends the browser while the plugins are for handling embedded content. All my extensions works fine anyway. I use: DownThemAll! Firefox Showcase Greasemonkey Image Zoom Nightly Tester Tools Noscript PDF download All of those work in this beta. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Why don't you try it out?
Installing Firefox 3 Beta 4 didn't ruin my Firefox 2 installation. In the last beta I switched from Firefox 3 beta 2 to Firefox 2 due to one of my important extensions didn't work at all... and apart from Mozilla Firefox 2 thinking it was starting for the first time, it didn't ruin anything. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Beta 4 seems to be working well on my computer. Main thing I didn't like was how it virus-scanned every download (hello *.log won't crash my computer), but that can be disabled in about:config. Also nice is APNG support, even though nobody actually uses them yet. ____________________ hax.iimarck.us |

APNG.... .... WHY?
I never heard of it before, but its purpose makes no sense. Why not MNG, a specification that's been around for years longer? Hell, Mozilla even supported MNG at one point but was removed for mysterious reasons. |

What are APNG and MNG? ____________________ |

APNG and MNG are both animated PNG formats. The main difference is that APNG will display (one frame) in otherwise incompatible viewers while MNG won't. Mozilla supports APNG, but MNG is the "official" format supported by the PNG group.
I am kind of surprised Firefox took out the MNG support, and that's too bad. Still, I must admit that the "backwards-compatible" factor of APNG makes me more likely to use it than MNG... not that I make images often. ____________________ hax.iimarck.us |

Also, MNG is what Animation Shop (from Paintshop Pro) uses as its native format. ____________________ Wife make lunch - Shampoo Opera - give it a spin Spare some of your free time? <GreyMaria> I walked around the Lake so many goddamn times that my sex drive was brutally murdered Kawa rocks — byuu |

APNG sounds very similar to the GIF format, and how it animates...
Oh well, as long there's format to finally replace GIF animations, I'm happy. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

There's been a format to replace GIF animations for the last 10 years, called MNG. |

MNG is that old? oO
Heh, and I can see why APNG... being a much more recent format is almost controversional... ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Beta 5 been out for a bit now, but that's probably obvious already to anyone who is doing the beta-testing. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

I'll wait for the stable version, that way I won't have broken extensions each time I get the next beta version. ____________________ |
