I like being able to try out the new features on the FF site, quite handy to see features in action.

This shows some of the new features in a few minutes too:

Had quite a few crashes on Rc2 , wonder what they've changed from rc1 as that never crashed. Hope they sort it out before release.

I think this is a list of everything that's been fixed in RC2.
Did you get the crash reporter, and if you did is anything relevant listed in about:crashes?

Toilen is there a way to force an extention to install?

It's horrible using firefox without TabBrowserPreferences

-got it, just extract then edit the install.rdf, then rezip as an xpi and open with firefox

IIRC there's a TBP dev version that works on Fx3.

Alternatively there's Nightly Tester Tools, MrTech's Local Install or extensions.checkCompatibility and extensions.checkUpdateSecurity.

i'll look into the dev version, forcing it to install messes up the tabs (hides them)

 

[tolien]

It's blocked with good reason then.

yup
