I'm running 3.1 beta 2, which is the same version on the link you provided. Typo?

The .exe file you download says 3.1 beta 3. Though I would have thought all beta 2 would automatically upgrade.

I checked for updates when I visited the link, and it says none available. Must be very early in release? In any case since beta 3 is apparently out, thanks to the OP I'll grab it now.

Edit: The download was beta 2 as well :confused:

Did you download a language other than British English or something?
n/m Jimlad's link saves the day \o/

yeah sorry the link from the site seems wrong, but other has posted below from the site with the correct links

Thanks, just got and installed

On a side-note, I also took this opportunity to upgrade from Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 stable to 3.0 beta 2. It's a nice improvement, though I've not had it long enough to comment on much more than the improved UI.

Those using Glasser will get an error when loading FF if you force install the Glasser extension using nightly tester tools.

To solve this you need to follow this: http://chris123nt.com/2008/11/08/fix-glasser-plugin-in-firefox-31-beta/

Yep. This error goes for FireFTP, British English language dictionary, and probably others too.

_Jimlad_ · 12 Mar 2009 at 17:22

yeah i'm only using on my 2nd pc, just got all my addons working nicely

Does Hotmail actually work in this beta?

EDIT: Finally the tab button is back. You can put it in its proper place again.

EDIT2: Hotmail works.

tolien · 12 Mar 2009 at 20:23

Should do.

Edit: Yeah, works for me.

_Jimlad_ · 12 Mar 2009 at 20:42

gmail works too....... so ditch hotmail

I've been runnning Firefox Trunk builds, but am currently stuck on a build from 8th Jan 2009 because Tab Mix Plus has problems on later builds.

Yea i use Gmail as my primary. Hotmail is linked to my ebay, paypal and stuff. Can't be bothered changing them

Just switched to this beta, all my extensions are working with compatibility checking turned off.

I caught this yesterday, they've been delaying it long enough :x
