Mike Arrington and Steve Gillmor don’t use Firefox 3.0

Tonight I was at a party where Mike Arrington, Steve Gillmor, and me were talking to Brendan Eich, CTO of Mozilla Foundation. You know, the fine folks who make the Firefox browser. During the conversation they admitted they don’t yet use Firefox 3.0.

Me? That’s ALL I use and I love it. I can’t wait for it to launch. Brendan said they don’t know the exact time yet that they will launch but gave strong indications it would be sometime next week.

Interesting that Walt Mossberg DOES use Firefox 3.0 and gave it a ringing endorsement, one that I can definitely add onto. There’s no better browser out there. None. On my Mac I love it a lot more than Safari.

    I run an online business website and use Firefox3.0 to acces joomla back-end. Combined with my MacBook Pro FF3.0 is absolutely brilliant!!

  2. I use FF3 as my primary browser from about Beta 4. I think it is a best browser so far, although the game is far from over yet. Let’s see what IE8 would bring to the table.

    Ffox 3 has a couple of problems. Video/audio freezes occasionally but predictably… though I think this has to more to do with another problem which is causing the browser to slow to a crawl. Maybe there are still some memory leak problems? It’s bad enough that I’ve considered rolling back.

    Feature-wise, I love FF3. But it’s slow as ass to launch. Safari fires up (sorry for the pun) right away.

  8. If they (Mike and Steve) aren’t using FF 3.0, what browser are they using? Safari? Camino? Opera? OmniWeb? Don’t leave us in suspense.
