For those of you who didn't know, Firefox 3 beta 5 is out.

edited to add:
Firefox Release Candidate 1 has been release. Please use that instead of beta 5 since it's the latest public release. Report all bugs to Firefox builds forum section.

adblock plus registers as incompatible and FFb5 disables it.

Goodbye FFb5 until this is fixed.

The development build of adblock plus does work, I'm using it now.

Adblock Plus - Development builds

you want adblockplus-0.7.5.3+.2008032513-en-US.xpi

FFb5 still tells me it's incompatible.

shinji · Apr 4, 2008, 02:23 AM

Works for me...I had compatibility checking disabled for another extension though, may want to try that Adblock Plus Forum :: View topic - adblock plus doesnt work with ff3 beta5 builds

It does work in ff3b5 with that development build.

probably why. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to stop firefox opening up and taking up the whole screen every time I open the app? I resize it but once I open it up again it does it again. I've looked through the advanced Javascript options and unchecked all the resizing windows options. Thanks in advance.

Try open the application, resize an empty window, close that window, then quit the app.

See if that saves your window size setting.

Thanks for the tip mdc, but still no joy, FF still opens up in a full-blown window. It happens even if i just close all the windows and not the whole app as well.

I've never had this problem but I've been using the nightly editions so there have been a lot of bug fixes since beta 5. You should try the latest public release which is Firefox Release Candidate 1 to see if your problem is fixed.

Release Candidates mean that Firefox is close to being the final release so if there are still any bugs please report them to the Firefox Builds section on Firefox's official forum. These next few months are your last chance to get any of your bugs fixed before they release the final build.

Just tried FF RC to see if that would make any difference and it hasn't. Its never happened on any other versions of FF, i've just installed Leopard, would that make any difference? Thanks again.

I have OS 10.4.11 so I can't tell you about problems in Leopard. The best thing to do is report the bug on the Firefox builds forum. They definitely need more Leopard testers.

Cool, will do that, thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

Is anyone else having issues with FF RC 1 and iGoogle homepages. I reported it as a bug.

I am seeing all of my tab widgets all the way to the right of the page, meaning there is a huge (like 2/3 portion of the screen) that is just blank.

Thoughts?
