Hello everyone! Just wondering weather i should switch to Firefox 3a8 or keep using Firefox 2 until Firefox 3 is officially released. Please post your opinions because i don't know how to make a poll here yet.

No probs with the version I'm running, so I'll be waiting for the official release. And then maybe I'll wait a little bit more. :)

Ok thats a good idea. Btw, why would you wait a little bit more after FF3 is released?

I've had various problems with updates over the recent past, as have others. I'm in no hurry to jump straight onto a new release.

But that's not advice, just my personal choice of course.

Another reason to wait after FF3 is released is that many extensions and themes will not be updated and compatible with FF3 right away. It takes time for them to all catch up and work with new releases.

Well than lucky you. Some will be some won't be. Even when it's officially released some extensions and themes will not be compatible right away. Some extension writers are faster about this than others. Eventually they get caught up.
