For Firefox users who haven't yet upgraded to v3.0, if you're like me, you kept putting off the upgrade, telling the unsolicited prompt to <go away>. I finally gave in, just now, and am very glad I did.

Pages load much faster, type displays infinitely better, and the new, neutral design is a lot easier on the eyes. Highly recommended.

While I'm at it, there's a wonderful little firefox add-on I'd recommend for those who need to keep an eye on the weather, called forecastfox, which displays a chronically updated, several days' worth of weather forecast in the footer. It helps me to know when I need to get out and water thoroughly, for ex. [like right now], but it's a good, discrete, all-purpose weather predictor.

Bonne soirée de Paris, où il fait très beau.

Thanks Loefing, for the information. I keep getting the information to update and have avoided it till now. I am worried that the tribtext will not work well or anymore. But after your comment I am seriously considering it.

And here in Switzerland it is also great weather! :-)

Tribext works fine for me in FF3, except that I can't rate any more. Hence I make more random comments, in acknowledgement of others.

You mean you can not rate at all, or you have not 4 button?

For various reasons I can't seem to rate at all, but it hasn't affected everyone, just me and a couple of others.

So, I guess I might as well give it a try. I have to use IE anyway for ET, because on firefox I can often not access ET. The only thing I would have a problem with if tribtext would not work, would make the Salon more difficult.

Just downloaded the new version. I can rate!!! and everything works fine, even ET seems to be accesible again. And I also hope the browser will stopp crashing.

But the first impression is, Loefing was right, it is an improvement.

I did have a similar problem at one point. had to remove and reintall Firefox to get tribext to come back.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Just updated to FF3 on the Mac and I can't rate either.

On the upside, dKos seems to have stopped crashing in FF3.

Which is a good thing.

Timely comment since my upgrade comment just popped up again!  I'll give it a go.
