Hey there! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share. Many thanks!|

I lost my Roboform plug in functionality, I now use Flock instead of Firefox which I like. Hate to say it but Firefox shot itself in the foot by not letting older plug ins be more compatible.

Firefox 3 is somehow incompatible with Windows Vista in some ways. It will crash sometimes when I am trying to log into PayPal. I face the same problem for GoDaddy once as well. Anyway, the restore previous session function shut off my madness over the issue.

I upgraded almost immediately after FF3 came out and did run into this with a couple plugins I use. For the most part, the developers were pretty quick to crank out updated versions. My only complaint is that the newest (FF3) version of Firebug has been crashing FF3 every time - but now that I check, it looks like an update just came out this week. Hopefully that'll fix it. For those of you using Mac who aren't sure about making the jump to FF3 yet, there's a tool featured on Lifehacker called Multifirefox that lets you run FF2 and FF3 side-by-side.

Mike,
The last thing I want to do is leave my business hanging on the whims and fancies on when a developer might want to update his add-on. Or perhaps read the release notes on v3 and figure out if he wants to update his code…

In reply to Jeremy Palmer. If Mozilla goes the Micro$oft route, I WILL cry. Having said that, the official announcement only went live a couple of days ago. You're a bleeding edge, early adopter.

Andrew,
I upgraded on one machine and same thing happened to me. Many of my plugins don’t work now. However, I just received an alert saying 2 of them have been updated and will now work!
WoooHooo!

I’m running Windows Vista. I upgraded to FF 3 a week after it was released. FF 3 crashed early and often. After a couple of days I had to revert back to FF 2. I don’t plan on upgrading to FF 3 anytime soon. Maybe when I get my new Mac???
