Superfly Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 The Daily Neopets supports Firefox, which is why we would like to encourage all our visitors to give Firefox 3 a try when it is released today at 10 AM NST. Anyone who downloads Firefox 3 in the first 24 hours of its release will be a part of a Guinness World Record which is being organized by Spreadfirefox.com. > Enjoy a Better Web Experience > Stay Secure on the Web > Personalize Your Browser We know our friends over at JN support Firefox 3 as well, so why not give it a try! It's going to be the fastest web browser on the internet and blends into your operating system, no matter which one you use. Remember to be apart of the world record you MUST download Firefox 3 in the first 24 hours of its release, the official clock starts at 10 AM NST! *NST = Neopets Standard Time (the time located on all Neopets.com pages) Update - TDN displays perfectly in Firefox 3 ;D WARNING: This browser is not yet compatible with the Neopets toolbar!!
PHPG Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Well that's nice but uhh... What time is it right now in NST? :S I'm not very familiar with Newfoundland times.
antiaircraft Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 NST = Neopian Standard Time Oh, and note that the release might be *very slightly* delayed due to some installer problems. Nothing serious though. :yes:
PHPG Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Ohh, I thought we were talking about real time zones... so 3 hours before me, I see. :)
Xepha Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 TJ, poke me through email when it is out... I need to get rid of IE6 here ;P
Ian Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 YES! :D I strongly urge everybody to GO AND DOWNLOAD IT!! :) It's a really great browser, uber fast too. Yay for Neopets fan sites supporting Firefox!
The Big Cheese Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 If only theyd get it for my school, we still have IE6 there (I share your pain V) Ive grown to like Firefox, so Ill be getting it too... :yes:
credgett Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Ohh, I thought we were talking about real time zones... so 3 hours before me, I see. :) NST is basicly just pacific time, so if you can remember that it is easy to figure out
Xepha Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Using it now. Awesome ;) But the database we are using at my work has to run on IE6... so I can't make it my default browser. Bummer.
Carrera Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Downloaded it! Love it! It's very fast and convenient. I highly suggest getting it! Especially if you have a Mac and are using Safari. Firefox is 20 times better than Safari!!!
TheUnknown Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 My only irk about it is typing in the URL... In FF2, I could type part of the URL and the most commonly used ones appear at the top for me to click. Now, the most ridiculous ones from 3 months ago appear at the top. -_-

It gets to know you, eventually. :)
Xepha Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 It looks great on mac... (much better than on windows... but yea). I still have to do some speed testing :P
Guest Enter Your Name Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 :sad02: my neopets toolbar isn't compatable... :crying: :sad01_anim: but other than that i like the new FF3

It gets to know you, eventually. :) Hm... OK, then. Still, it bugs me to type in "en" (for wikipedia) and finding tons of the first links being "Bleach Episode XX English X/3" on Youtube, with wikipedia being near the end of said list. -_-
onime_no_kai Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 :sad02: my neopets toolbar isn't compatable... :crying: :sad01_anim: but other than that i like the new FF3 I hope they make a compatible toolbar soon :( My roommate plays Neopets too and can tell me when it's going off, but it's going to be a pain to have to switch browsers and re-login every time the toolbar flashes. And I'm not a fan of the extra junk that got added to my bookmark list...I'm sure I'll like it eventually, but I kinda wish I could switch back to the old one for the time being actually. EDIT: Found the old version and redownloaded, but it completely refused to work, it didn't even open all the way before saying it encountered a problem and had to close...so I guess I'm stuck with the new one. And *now* I'm trying to play YYB and it's like the game's stuck in a time warp, it goes from running kind of slow to suddenly going way too fast! This didn't happen before....WAAAAHHHH!!! :crying:
naughtyducky29 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 It looks great on mac... (much better than on windows... but yea). I still have to do some speed testing :P am using windows vsta and i downloaded frefox3 but when i clicked on a game on neopets it would not load it..can anyone help me please..

This didn't happen before....WAAAAHHHH!!! :crying: About the FF3 causing your YYB game to go berserk, that's a computer problem, not FF3's. I am using a Windows Vista and YYB plays perfectly!! On a Windows XP, it did go berserk, but I used it to my advantage: using the v-e-r-y s-l-o-w moments to shoot by pivoting quickly. The goalie cannot react to it quickly enough, and I am grateful for that. (this may not work for everyone) FYI: The Windows XP I mentioned is naturally slow for an awkward reason, so this may not apply to every Windows XP user. ^_^
Guest Femi Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 am using windows vsta and i downloaded frefox3 but when i clicked on a game on neopets it would not load it..can anyone help me please.. Sorry, I do not know how to help you with your problem. I too am using a Windows Vista, but I do not confront this problem. I think it's a little glitch with your computer. Try restarting it. If it still doesn't work, wait until the Firefox team sends out updates. (If your problem is actually a glitch with FF3, then you and others with the problem should report it promptly.) Then again, your problem may be reported to TNT. I was able to load the games, but, of course, I wasn't able to test all of them. You may reply to this stating what game you attempted to play.
Guest Femi Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 :sad02: my neopets toolbar isn't compatable... :crying: :sad01_anim: but other than that i like the new FF3 Well, the best thing you can do is report is to TNT. Hopefully, you've already done that. Glad you enjoy FF3!
Guest Guest Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Firefox is good, but it is not as good as Opera. Opera is much better.
PHPG Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Opera is one of the worst internet browser's I've ever had the displeasure to witness...
hamlads1 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Fire fox rocks :woot:!!! I don't have the new one yet I'll get it when I'm sure in works bugs free
Guest Guest Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Oh boy, I upgraded it and now it is not connecting to the internet! I hate this.
TheUnknown Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 The new Firefox does seem to take it's sweet time fully loading itself...
