More then once. Never started in safe mode but was doing this with the beta version as well as the rc version.
Safe mode can't hurt then.  |

How long has it been available as a beta?
Not exactly sure, I've used Firefox 3 in Beta and RC form for several months though. I can't live without that plug-in. For real. I'm uninstalling before I go back to work on Thursday (business trip Mon-Wed.)
Code a better one yourself instead.   Why would I do that? Theirs is close to perfect. |

Because you need it *now* and coding is fun. Could always just force it to be compatible and see if it works, 85% of them do. |

What if the Mozilla coders had said that their browser would never be as good as IE when they started working on Firefox (Firebird at the time) so they didn't try? |

You said "code a better one yourself then". That's different than a monster open source project. YMMV. Would it be a great gig if one had the means to support himself independently? Sure. Unfortunately, my coding really needs to have a direct correlation to a paycheck. I've done the entrepreneur thing and it's highly overrated.  Some day, in retirement, perhaps I'll originate a killer app and be an icon of the open source movement. Nah, I'll be golfing. |

Coding an OpenSource App >>> golfing. I can say that here, no one golfs here anyway. |

If Google didn't pay to have that little search button in the toolbar, I'm guessing the Mozilla coders would be working on something else right now. |

Looks like it is compatible. I just looked and it allows me to add it. Though I did not because I do not code. At least not anymore.

Yeah, the versions on Mozilla's ad-ons page are never up to date really, as the new versions have to be cleared first before they allow them on there, and they can take some time, sometimes.

Google "little search button in the toolbar" FTW. |

Hmmmmm... thanks Spankers. I trusted the FF3 installer which told me it wasn't compatible and there was no upgrade.
A lesson learned.
BTW, love the Aqua-esque buttons in the Firelight theme. 'Bout time.

Nope, the Firefox installer and the ad-on manager go by the Mozilla ad-ons site. |
