Warning: Firefox 3 for PCs
For over two decades most software companies have cautioned that beta versions are for developers. Mozilla issues the same warning. However, three days ago I decided to install Firefox 3 so that I see how add-on 6891 works. While this add-on performs nicely with images in AdobeRGB, my life has been miserable since:
1) Firefox 3 has been very unstable on my computer.
2) All my add-ons from Firefox 2 were grayed out.
3) Within a day I received warnings that none of my versions to protect my computer against spyware, etc. work in Firefox 3. I have now reinstalled Firefox 2.
All this may be unique to me, but the old advice, beta releases are for developers still holds.
