FYI. for those who are using Firefox, you might be glad to know that Firefox users are safest:

"Mozilla Firefox users are the safest Web surfers on the Internet, according to a study by The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Google and IBM's Internet Security Services. According to the study Firefox users were the most likely to use an updated version of their browser." [read more]

enjoy your online experience and keep it safe :)

Thanks Matthew! Thanks for getting back to me....WHEWWW!

It was temp, looks like, I left it for a while, and because I was in such a huff, forgot where I posted this!

I went and had a look at Firefox site, discovered addons and the rest is history!

All fixed, screen looks beautiful and

Firefox is magic!

Don't know what happened, but whatever it was, its OK now, thanks to whatever fixed it!
Just another challenge in my life conquered by JKG (just keep going) !!!!

I could even get to the support pod finally and wanted to post a thank you there...but here you are!

Have an absolute stunning day!
We've had snowfall around us on our mountains, no central heating, so my hotwater bottle is keeping me company on my next excursion into the magical world of gaia!

hugs

Hi MarleMac,

Are you still having these issues? I wasn't able to duplicate. It could be a temp issue. But if you're still having troubles, let me know, and I'll inform the developers.

I downloaded and have been using FF3 and just found a bug that probably won't get fixed until 3.1 (according to the .Mac gurus)... I have a .mac account and can't access my iDisk via FF 3.

that sort of stinks but is a minor inconvenience - i just have to launch safari whenever i need to access my iDisk. =(

It installed faster than the jet that flies across this screen!!!
It reminds me of Safari but better...more features under the hood.

I uploaded a picture I took of my husband and that went fine.
The CoolIris function the our Dev Chris recommended works beautifully with this new Firefox and I didn't have to download it again.

I looked at all the sites and "hatting" from ~C above and tried out those links and was amazed on how user friendly it is.

My hope is that we can get a Widget in the Mac downloads for Gaia unless someone knows of one that I can put for this site in my dashboard. I like the fact that it is not that drastic of a change and makes navigating routine and not much learning curve. I am going to drive it a few days but I already like it. Thanks for the referral.

Today, the back and forward buttons aren't lit. So, I can't go back to a page I was on.
They were okay last night; but not now. I didn't change any settings; so not sure what happened.

yep. they're all grey. or more accurately, chrome. FF 3 uses the native look of the system you're using. so if you're on a Mac, FF3 would look and feel like Safari :)

here's a list of enhancements with Firefox 3.0.

Just wanted to ask you if your new browser bar is GREY?

the other was all the same color, like a white transparent. but mine is totally grey
above our purple gaia stuff.
like where the house, stop, reload buttons are. it's grey!

is yours?
thanks!

thanks to all your feedback. keep 'em coming. e.g. try your blogs, pods, photos, video embedding, books, bookmarks. let us know if you encounter any problems.

as for me, one thing i noticed is the improved loading speed! Gaia pages load faster and Firefox 3.0 looks less buggy than the previous version. sweet!

Things seem to load faster; and I like that little star on the navigation toolbar for bookmarking a page.

When a pdf needed to open, the page with all tabs blanked out for a minute; then I got a certificate. Didn't realize this was such a big day!! Now I've told my family --Gaia told me first!
