FF3 bookmark management and navigation is a pain in the ass. For one, why do they insist on having three separate, undeleteable folders to navigate (bookmarks toolbar, bookmarks menu, and unsorted bookmarks)?! Please, just let me delete those stupid bookmarks toolbar and unsorted bookmarks folders.

And secondly, it’s a pain in the ass that every time you bookmark a page you have to hit the down arrow to open the submenu of folders to bookmark into. If you bookmark a lot, this gets to be a huge pain in the ass.

FF3 bookmark management sucks!

Firefox always sucked. Never rendered anything right to begin with. Just it sucks less than IE that’s why me and everyone else uses it.

For years,I have suffered at the hands of Firefox.
I have spent countless hours in frustration reading how-to’s on optimizing network settings and also have through the Mozilla-zine pored to no avail.
Tonight,in a fit of pique,switched browsers and within minutes was enjoying long lost
websites which FF2x/3x could never load.
Music,Movies,Pictures and indeed all the goodness of the World wide web are mine again and I feel that same thrill that has been absent for so long.
There are many fine browsers out there,all one has to do is grit the teeth one last time refreshing and restarting Firefox till your search is complete and your mind made up.
Go now and secure the blessings of the world community at large.
Your friend,Rein.

Guest, you can get old versions at the aptly named: oldversion.com and also at filehippo (for a pile of software, not just firefox)

would be nice if we coul get a 2.x ver back - I can only assume mozilla lost ALL their programmers b4 working on the 3.x versions and were forced to hire circus chimps - the trash they came out with makes MS explorer look like a godsend.

I grabbed a copy of Firefox v2.0.0.20 and will also continue to use it until the Mozilla crowd cleans up their act. With all of the complaints about FF3 abounding across the Net, hopefully they’ll put their newly-acquired arrogance aside and buckle down and fix these issues. We all can’t be wrong about these problems…

Totally agree with the last post, I’m still on Firefox v2.0.0.2 , my extensions continue to work although I have to use older versions, but everything is fine on FF2, I ocassionaly do download FF3 just to see if they’ve improved things but FF3 remains both complicated and bloated software, the bookmarking system in FF3 is a particular pet hate, devised by someone who lost the plot!

Yea, Firefox 3 was and still is a colossal blunder. The philosophy changed for the worst, from giving the user all of the options to how they want the browser to be and look and a simple browser that was Firefox until version 3, to now where new features that are mandatory and are crap and bloat and you can’t turn them off and the new philosophy is “WE KNOW BEST”.

I will be using Firefox 2 for years until its no longer able to be used with websites on the internet, and I expect it will be good for at least a few years until it becomes completely obsolete then will see if a new browser that is like the old Firefox has arrived by then.

By the way here is the link to get the last version of Firefox 2: ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/

That is for the windows english version, you can go to higher level directories for other systems and languages on that link.

There are tutorials on the Firefox website on how to completely uninstall Firefox 3 if you want to go back to the version 2.

FF3 sucks big time. I’m a web developer and i usually tend to have multiple tabs open at once, every 30 minutes FF3 crash, every 2-3 crashes, FF3 cannot restore the windows anymore. Other than that i use yahoo mail and whenever i try to switch from one email to another is like i’m downloading the internet. I miss good all times when i was using FF2.

I will wait the next update if things stay the same i will switch to another browser.
