I disagree. We should have both versions available in packages; preferably both would work on the same system too.
I have been playing with FF3 and I'd have to say that minus the speedup overall the browser took a step backwards. What particularly ticked me off was: * outlook like popup in the right-hand corner to notify that a download completed (now there is some information one *has* to see) Not only is that beyond irritating there is no obvious way to turn off. I had to turn it off in about:config which brings me to the second irritant. I'd like to therefore set browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete = false * When one enter about:config a warning shows up that says: "if you click here you can void your warranty. What warranty??? When I launched the browser the first time I already had to accept a license that explicitly says "no warranty"; wtf? To fix that we can set these by default: general.warnOnAboutConfig = false browser.EULA.3.accepted = true * While trying to make FF3 a better browser for OpenBSD we might as well set plugin.default_plugin_disabled = false to remove the annoying message that scrolls down your screen at snails pace asking if you want to install a friggin non-existing plug-in. * I'd also like to get the old icons back. The new ones are not only ugly they are fuzzy as well. I also liked them better before when they were the right size. The new version the icons are basically touching the frame they are in (like X on tabs) These are only a few things that I noticed in the new browser. I have more but I'd like to get the debate going... /marco On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 01:54:42PM -0400, Brad wrote: > On Tuesday 15 July 2008 13:42:19 Brandon Mercer wrote: > > On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 1:38 PM, Stuart Henderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > On 2008/07/15 13:07, Mike Erdely wrote: > > >> On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 04:37:13PM +0100, Edd wrote: > > >> > Whats the status of firefox 3 on OpenBSD? > > >> > > > >> > I have been using a package (given to me from viq, which i assume is > > >> > made from this patch), which has crashed once in about 3 days.
