Marketing Development

First there was the huge build up and promotion of the release. “World Record to be set!” regarding the number of downloads in one day. Woo – hoo. If the point was for somebody to build a list from people who get excited about such things, then good luck.

I think most of the “First adopters” in the crowd ( the people who buy into anything “new”) would have already tried out Firefox 3.5 – Beta Version. Just my opinion.

Then the biggest promoted feature was the autofill stuff that shows up when you enter text into the address box. It was so bulky and annoying that I loaded an add-on just to change it back.

The I noticed that any unusual tabs with media features would crash the browser. Especially considering that Firefox 2 was becoming VERY stable.

Then the straw that broke the camels back….Firefox 3.0 forgot all of my email access passwords. Worse, it couldn’t remember them again long enough for me to sign back on. Enough is enough. Firefox 3.0 sucks. I really enjoy my nearly instant sign on for my mail so 3.0 is history. Maybe 3.1 will work better.

Get any new or old firefox version that works for you from the very helpful people at:
