Firefox 3 - A walkthrough of an awesome browser

[mrcool010010]

firefox rules

chrome get less responsive after sometime

[xXCoDwGoDXx]

Chrome FTW

[iL96iPredatorzz]

@PCWizMan you cant thumbs up on his videos

[BigJohnsHog]

LOL, This is a Firefox video but theres a Google Chrome add on the right. :P

[Nokitfer]

I switched from Internet Explorer, to this, then to chrome, then back to firefox. Firefox and chrome are the best

[ScOrPiOnE905]

guys if you have a pc from 1995 of course it will hardly run...

[Tiangisbarato]

firefail booo! go to chrome chrome is the best

[IchigoRukia09]

FIREFOX SUCKS!

[LoveInPony]

Firefox 3.6??

[barmarbob]

For some reason I'm downloading a corrupt file from firefox. Anyone can help me with this.

[dylanbaptiste9]

Hey Is Chrome or Firefox better PcWizKid please make a separate video comparing Chrome and Firefox everything like memory usage browser speed etc..

[Jacknafy]

Firefox is far better than google chrome, hope that helps :)

[skoobdaer]

FireFox 3.5.6 is a memory hog

[robertcarter1987]

@skoobdaer yah but its still better tha ie or chrome. chrome dosent support any near as much code as firefox

[nintendo4ever123]

ok when i favorize a movie/song oon utube where do i find the list

[lintonthepenguin]

Go to the dropdown box at the top right that should say 'nintendo4ever123'. Then go to favourites. From there you should be taken to a list of favourited videos.

-By the way, you should probably just have checked the YT help, not commented on a web browser video.

[floeticdeath]

I've made the switch, but I made the switch from ff3 to chrome3. Sadly, I have 512ram, and it hogs. Chrome is the lightest for me, even though I enjoy ff's add-ons and hacker add-ons.:(

[lintonthepenguin]

512MB ram?! WOW, you are doing well, man... That PC must be realy slow. I'm not meaning that in a bad way, but any PC nowadays has at least 3GB RAM...

[floeticdeath]

Oh man, I'm doing real bad. haha, All this computer is good for is music and porn pictures. Not movies, slows down PC performance. It lets me watch flash videos when it wants to and the same goes with other graphic performance.

I got some money in. Don't know whether I should buy a new Tower or a ps3..Still debating.

[lintonthepenguin]

-PS3 has a web browser, but I think you should get a high-performance PC. High performance PC can play games, do catchup TV and web better than a PS3. Of course, depends whether you've got the cash for a really good PC, as a good PC costs more than a PS3.

But depending on your needs, you might want to go for the PS3. Just don't go for the XBOX 360. Please. You'll need to buy another in a year.

[floeticdeath]

This is My seconond Ps3. First one YLOD on me. Not mad though, I won it online and it lasted almost 2 years lol So, I'll actually be purchasing a ps3 for the first time and at a a reasonable price(remember when it was 599?!)

[lintonthepenguin]

Yeah, you must either:

a) have a really early model

b) a defective unit

Most don't go bad, trust me, I have an 80GB and it's lasted me 2 years and counting.

[floeticdeath]

Both A) and B) My cousin's ps3 failed. D.R.E. Though.. I'm not concerned about the failure rate anyway. lol I'm more interested in the gaming selection which I love on the ps3.

So I want to get one again, did you hear about the early model of the slim? failing. lol. I'm gonna wait awhile before I get mine but I want one by the time GOWIII comes out.

[ckrulezg]

you got an awesome knowledge

[hedonistic2008]

Thanks! You are so knowledgeable.

[rsdbzmaster68]

i installed my adobe flash player without having to do it manually. why not you?

[Vik456]

bottom line.. when it comes to security and speed.. 10 out of 10 FIREFOX 3..... just do it,.. i did today and i'm loving the custom features..

[zainuintel]

you have exact same addons as me

[MagicRevealer09]

i got 3.5

[Qulopuaa]

The bad is that Firefox 3 is laggy and uses about 50-70% cpu-time and thats really crappy

[lintonthepenguin]

No, Firefox isn't laggy. Your PC is laggy. The CPU usage is do to your small CPU. If your PC has a bad CPU then of course it'll say 50-70%. I have Sony Vegas, Powerpoint 2010 Beta, 3 Word files, 2 Notepad files, 2 Game development windows, a disc-printing program, and something installing, plus 4 Firefox tabs and I'm using 24% of my CPU.

[Qulopuaa]

Really, Firefox and flash..sucks cpu= 99% sometimes and this is not a problem in explorer

[arevideos]

i got FF 3.5.2 today and i don't see what the big deal is, its awesome, and i have Opera, that rocks too, and i have safari 4, Google Chrome and they all rock!!!!

[ImRealAmerican]

OPERA rulezz firefox suxx

[Ludlumk9]

lol@opera rules ...What makes it better than firefox? Firefox has far better security and far better add ons to make it even more secure ..What your saying does not make sense @ImRealAmerican

[mooserman911]

firefox is so dang slow i can't stand it. IE8 owns firefox in many ways.

[MyUnv]

firefox is slow? did u hack urs in some way because IE8 always freezes and takes like 20 seconds to start up for me, now thats slow.

IE8 is behind every other single browser, it sucks and is not standard and is so prone to viruses.

Firefox (and ff 3.5) is the best browser in the world, and owns ie8 not the other way around, open up your mind a bit. See how sites are different in both browsers, ff loads them faster and if the page uses CSS3 and HTML5 it will render it.

PWN3D.

[mooserman911]

I did not hack mine, but for some reason ff 3.5 doesn't work any better than IE8 on my computer. They both load pages the same speed, but ff takes longer to start up.

[MyUnv]

They fixed this slow startup error in FF 3.5.1

That's one reason why they're so great, they update frequently which makes you feel way more secured. When does IE update, every couple of years and requiring a RESTART OF THE COMPUTER??

IE is the biggest failure of Microsoft, even they admit it. Firefox offers you more and truly makes the web better so I think you should at least check out the addons.

I may sound like a Firefox fanboy, but mostly I'm an IE hater, because I make sites.

[mooserman911]

o.k, i havedn't got that update yet, but when i am using ff and ie8 next to eachother they both load pages at the same speed. I also have no use for add ons and I do know how to code websites with html and that doesn't make me hate IE8 at all.

[MyUnv]

i don't know why IE isnt slow as hell for u, but alright i'll let that one go.

i'll pass on the viruses too, that'll be ur risk.

but does ie accomplish anything? is micorosft bringing the future of the web to u? no, mozilla firefox is. is IE behind all the other browsers? yes. is it falling in numbers of users? hell yes. so have fun with IE8 k?

i code sites, and u visit them. if u can code better sites for browsers like firefox, why dont users like you just use them? IE simply sucks, trust me

[mooserman911]

I realize that IE is losing popularity and isn't really looking to the future. but i guess i am a little old-school and will stick with IE.

[MyUnv]

Alright that's cool. Just saying, I hate IE users for using it, 'cause it's such a bad browser for developing sites to.

[happy00000]

The retard firefox fanboy tried to make you switch your web browser. These ignorant people are everywhere and are annoying. Like the guy said he is a IE hater. lol

[nikosyv]

hm..... not, firefox 3.5 is faster, better, safer, and better looking than IE8, no doubt. is there even addons in IE??

[mooserman911]

IE8 works for me better. read the last comments i had with the other guy please.

[mooserman911]

also they both go the same speed and are both safe. I just like IE8's lay out bettter and i have no use for any add-ons.

[lintonthepenguin]

-That's your PC, not Firefox at fault.

[mooserman911]

Do you have anything better to do than reply to cooments i made last summer for pete's sake?

Anyways, it is defienently firefox because ff does the same thing on my three other computers too. While chrome and IE8 both start up fast. My main computer is way faster than most computers anyways and ff is still slow. Chrome is the fastest, but i like IE8 better. so yah.

[ajboomboom5]

how come firfox is so god damn slow on ubuntu?!?!?!?

O_o and i cant download any other browser because wine thinks its funny to piss me off and for some reason i have to adjust my firewall to get it to WORK

[RomanianUser]

Firefox owns the internet.

[888kermit]

when does firefox 3.5 come out of beta?

[tacoshell14]

Internet Explorer 8

[gio957]

what is the big deal with this firefox,people are stupid these days there just browsers.its like hot chip vs hot chettos blabla..

[bluebird1494]

maybe because its safer and more reliable? sheesh...

[FORTEK4122]

Google Chrome!!!!!!!!!!!

[salasrcp90]

i have firefox version 3.5 and i think it a good solid web browser, it fast, and fully customizable.

[brianwwecw]

from ie 6 wich i was using a month ago to firefox 3 i gotta say this web browser rocks

[PcNerdful]

Rankings of the Latest Browsers:

1. Google Chrome

2. Safari

3. Firefox

4. IE 8

[Rellix999]

Totally UNtrue! Check your sources!

Secondly responding to the video: After installing flash you don't have to restart your computer, just the browser.

[ZepMan63]

When I downloaded Firefox a few months ago (because IE8 blows, I tried Firefox) it just seemed to take over my computer. It was annoying to say the least.

I removed both, reinstalled IE7, installed Google Chrome. I now use Chrome 99% of the time. On a rare occasion that I cannot download a driver or install a program, I switch to IE7 for that only. That is a RARE occasion.

I don't see the need for all that crap (they call bells and whistles) that slows down my browsing.

[f00tballfever]

chrome loads faster nd opens websites super quick for me . chrome ftw

[Somone77]

Yes chrome people!

[pokeyugi13]

firefox 3 had everything for me

[Computergeek789]

go firefox!

[spudster007]

I participated in Download Day 2008! Go Firefox 3!

[MONSTERO7]

lets just say firefox shits on IE 8

[Jarhead1407]

Let's just say this

Google Chrome > IE8 > Firefox 3

[JonnyTHM429]

Firefox 3 > Safari > Opera > Google chrome > IE8 in my opinion, Firefox has the best add ons and the most customizable browser, with the best stability, I would use safari if it had gestures, and I would use Opera if it had the customization of firefox, google chrome is nice and fast, but not as good in any field as the others, IE8 is only good for downloading other web browsers

[MapleManiac9001]

I agree 100%.

[Jarhead1407]

Add on - quality > quantity

You ever used Accelerators or Web Splices? Obviously not, because those are two of the most innovative add ons ever.

[incheoul]

Firefox > or = IE

please note that I didn't bother to read your comment

[Shiners09]

it sure does. ie8 is shit.

Firefox and google chrome are the best :)

[ketchugeorge]

ba explorel e mai booon

[BEYONDILIMIT]

idk why bu ti cant view my downloads on firefox?!!! why cant i like i donwload something and it never shows up on my download list?

why

[kellyboy0077]

firefox hard to beat,pretty good shit!!!ie7 glad to get rid of it.

[hitmebabe1mortime]

Downloading it right now, from what I hear, it's awesome! :D

IE7 is a real memory hog, I love firefox, there's also firebug (Useful to tweak my game account a little bit hehe) :D

7 minutes left :\ (Yes I know my computer is slow but it downloaded IE7 in 1minute :o).

1 minute left (Muhahahahaha)

98% left (giggles :D)

WHAT????I CAN'T INSTALL FIREFOX????

Nah, just kidding. It's awesome! :) :) :)

[FalzarGregar]

Especially now that firefox has personas now.

[pivotpcproductions]

I just automaticly updated to 3 =)

[heroi1423]

Mozilla Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 Is The Best Browser In The World

[Overdoz9000]

why do u use the beta is it better than the stable release

[heroi1423]

Ya it is.But the problem is it does not support thousands of addons

[amoney8595]

i use opera

[chese0000]

hey.. what version of windows are you using.

or is that just a black theme you have installed on xp?

can you let me know where i can get the black theme? thanks!!!

[gooldude3]

im pretty sure its windows vista (not sure which type i.e. windows vista home premium or others, probably windows vista ultimate - which gives the black background) but you can personalize colors in home premium

[mrrotweiler2]

Firefox IS the nr 1 choice, its that simple, retards (Balmer, gates, binladen etc) use IE

[Bubblybum123]

for some reason i can't stand IE...i like firefox but personally i LOVE google chrome...

[hax0rman101]

<3 Opera. Firefox is cool, but on my machine it's lightly slower launching and browsing. IE looks nice with Aero, basic browsing but not as much customization.

[cbluvsedith]

i'm a HUGE FIREFOX FAN! I GOT SOME FIREFOX GEAR LOL!

it's my favorite browser. if i was a software developer, i would always support and report bugs to Mozilla 24/7!

[EBKemanon]

I'm using 3.2a1pre here. It's blazing fast and works so well. I've tried the other browsers and, while some were good, they just couldn't compare. I've read some of the details on Firefox 4 though, and can't wait for the nightlies to start for that.

[TheTruthAsUseeIt]

aw man if firefox was a woman id shag it lol its that sexy :P

[tpiom]

That's one thing with the installer in Firefox, it won't install anything - I always have to do it manually...

Fix it Mozilla :^)

And speed up the development of 3.1! Just kidding, take the time you need.

[gtafan1234567890]

I love firefox ,

you can use FF at FULLSCREEN no toolbars except when you move you cruser towards the top of the screen

[cbluvsedith]

Firefox is the best! I'll never switch to another browser again! Internet Explorer sucks and was being a bitch to Netscape. Netscape are convincing people to switch to Firefox. Now Firefox is kicking Internet Explorer's ass! :P

[Tonymaloney93]

its on 3.0.6 now. I look forward to the stable release of 3.1

[sirzeebs]

mine auto installed :|

[lucnfs]

lol 3.5 was made a few months ago

[JollySpace]

FYI it should be "an awesome"

[PCWizKid]

humm, but that what it says :)

[iownurface12]

Yeah...That's exactly what it says...

[JollySpace]

He changed the title...

[iownurface12]

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know.

[ghosthunters88]

thank you! i had troble how to play videos!

[GohanDBZ]

Firefox is the best!

[blazingkatana]

ff3 is good but i liked ff2's search bar better. i don't like ff3's url search bar, anyone know how to change it?

[scurry1011]

i downloaded FF3 and my bookmarks were not there??? how can i get them

[xXHaunterkidXx]

Where'd you get that Cursor, Could you gimme a Link for it please looks Neat :P

[DAJJJTV]

he has a video on how to change the cursor

[ya13er]

I use the last version of firefox and I think that Opera is good too...

[deadeo666]

I can't see the skin's tab in Better Gmail 2

[casperblackcat1975]

I have a problem where the live bookmarks refresh very aggressively & the browsers freezes for a minute but the browser doesn't crash.

[Takeshi677]

very good review!

[parceritaz]

the 1st time i tried firefox i didnt liked it @ all but that was among the 1st versions. i decided to see wht's the deal with FF3 and i gotta say i love it. it's so much faster than IE8 and of course the add-ons are awesome. still like both browsers though

[bajan13k]

great walkthrough.

[ItOnlyTakes4]

chrome > ff3 > ff2 > ie8 > ie7

[sooperfoonvids]

inside chromes EULA it states that if you upload anything to the internet using their browser belongs to google...

[theducktapeking]

That was taken out a while ago...

Also, how is Chrome better than Firefox?

Firefox > Opera > Safari > IE

[sooperfoonvids]

I never said chrome was better....

Firefox is a memory hog but it still is the best browser out there!

I use it!

[cbluvsedith]

Agreed! But the REAL memory hog is Internet Explorer!

[gamemasteronps2]

Firefox is cool

[EowynG191]

So whenever I try to upload pictures on Facebook they tell me to install something... but then I get a bar thing on the top of the window that tells me that I can't download it because of my firewall...

You've probably heard this a million times but-- how do I go around that crazy setting I have against those ad-ons???

=] Thanks!

[PCWizKid]

Hi, every firewall program has the ability to filter or unblock. And also every AdBlocker app also has the ability to disable, so look for the options to filter it and allow it to go through. I dont know what you are using specifically so I can cannot give you details.

[EowynG191]

Yeah I don't know either.. it's just whatever came when I installed Firefox; I can't ever unblock things they decide to block for me =S

Thanks though!

[ausgirl]

I have the same problem too, I back back to ff2 *sighs*

[Tedafire]

dude umm where di u get ur mouse cursor?

[PCWizKid]

Watch my other video title "Windows Mouse Cursors - Customization" for details.

Cheers

[ausgirl]

firefox 3 has crashed on me twice. :S

[Tedafire]

lol same

[cbluvsedith]

On mine, it used to crashed about more than 100 times! Until I reinstalled XP PRO SP2, it now runs stable.

[eagle33x]

a awesome browser ???

I am waiting for 10 mins to load this video.

I see that circle on videos.Nothing else.

[joerox1994]

thts what im using right now =)

opera is good too

[cbluvsedith]

I'm using it right now as well =)

[RuneScapades]

I think mine had flash already on it.

[chololatarima]

for me it work fine.

[jerseykid565]

How is FireFox better than regular than regular Internet Explorer?

[luis9955]

Right.

1. Faster

2. Customizable

3. Safe

4. Not gonna brake hardware

Want more?

[Jurassicparkz08]

1.Internet Explorer 8 (currently in beta) is about the same speed as Firefox.

2. A lot of people, including myself, don't care about custom crap. We're here to view the internet, not add 135898590 different things for a 'personal' experience.

3. Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 has more security features than Firefox, and is expected to go out of Beta soon.

4.Internet Explorer doesn't slow down your hardware or destroy it.. although Firefox has crashed my computer a few times.

[joerox1994]

lol i went to dl it and it crashed

[cbluvsedith]

I resolved my problem by reinstalling my OS. My OS is XP PRO SP2. It used to crash on me about more than 100 times, which made me use Google Chrome or Apple Safari as my alternate browsers until I reinstalled the OS. Now it runs good on mine with no problems.

[Blake99xboxlive]

k when im at the site and i click install then i click save then the downloads pop up i click adobe but it says firefox must be closed and i cant find a firefox icon anywhere

[Blake99xboxlive]

nevermind i got it haha lol thnx

[Blake99xboxlive]

dman ok i installed firefox3 but i need to install the adobe flashplayer 9 and the firefox icon isnt popping up in the systray to close.

[PCWizKid]

Just go to Adobe's website to download flash and install it from there.

[Blake99xboxlive]

when i try to download version3 it says firefox must be closed to proceed pleace close firefox any tips???

[PCWizKid]

You need to click on the firefox preloader icon in your systray and select unload firefox and then tried again to install Firefox 3.

[Blake99xboxlive]

wow i felt so dumb but it worked thank you so much i might need some help installing the flashplayer manually but ill try to figure it out thnx again

[EddiesGames]

IMO the "Awesome bar" SUCKS BALLZ!!

[calrogman]

How dare you, the awesome bar kicks Chuck Norris' ass!

[EddiesGames]

No I'm right. On FF2 I just typed S for a site and the most visied one popped out first. Now If I type S it screws up the whole browsing list. So it sucks.

[luis9955]

What sucks? FF3? It doesn't do it for me. Try clearing the browsers cache. FF3 doesn't suck.

[nbaportland123]

how do u change the theme?

and what is a theme?

comment on this plz

[crazyblade40]

did you change the layout or what why does it look like that

[PCWizKid]

I changed the theme yes.

[GrandeSvits]

The only downside I've had with ff3, is that it don't support my fire fox rss reader

[nbaportland123]

i agree with you Datax2

i love mine.

simply the best ever.

internet 7 is shit.

[hgpot]

internet explorer 7 sucks, but, ie8 is kinda cool, faster than ff2. but ff3 blows it away

[DataX2]

i just love my FF3

[JaredL22]

Dear PCWIZKID

I Installed Firefox 3 and now i cant use IE for some reason , everytime i click it firefox opens . i wonder if there is some way to fix this ??

To anyone who can help me

[what6the6hell6]

why on earth would you want to use IE?

[sparrow1133]

Hey JaredL22 ..

when you installed FireFox 3 .. there was an option that says " make FireFox 3 your default browser " . this may be your problem.

but i agree with what6the6hell6 ..

Fire Fox 3 is much better than IE !!

try ~ un-installing FF3 .. then Re-installing .. and choss NO when the option for choosing FF3 as YOUR Default Browser . i hope this helps..

[Firewall26753]

Default Browser isn't his problem!

Default broswer if only if you wan't stuff to open with that internet browser and it appears on the start button.

i think that he should re-install firefox then re-install IE.

[rainers10]

I'm still running on ff 2 and i'm happy with it but a few add-ons some times don't wana work but thats ok =]

[sazzo01]

quick question do you know how much space mff 3 takes up???

[PCWizKid]

Hi, it takes about 25MB.

[Associatedfan]

how do you get that flash light mouse?

[liquos]

I hate FF3. So many features that get in the way, no addons work for it, some features such as drag and drop directly to an application are missing.

PS. Why does your cursor have a blue field around it?

[PCWizKid]

Thanks for watching, my cursor has a blue highlighter circle to focus your attention on what I'm talking about. I only have that in the screen captures.

[beberox101]

i dont know i kind of don't like it, feels like its slower and using more ram and processor

[qaw127]

is it free?

[PCWizKid]

Yes it is.

[what6the6hell6]

FF is opensource!

[pichulitaaa]

yo puse el firefox 3, y me gusta. Me sirve para poder buscar más fácil las páginas que frecuenté, con tan solo recordar al menos parte de la dirección web no importa si en su correcto orden o no, va a aparecer... no tengo que recordar el inicio, solo parte del todo...

:)

[PCWizKid]

Hi, si, I agree with you it is easier to search pages and get your history of visited sites easily. Muy bien amigo!

[Kendal671]

lol you speak spanish

cool

[PCWizKid]

Yes I do. Gracias por mirar mis videos.

Luego

[Kendal671]

i do to uno dos tres quatro sinco seis siente ocho nuieve diez

lol

[J4gg1T]

hay un fiesta en mis pantalones

=P

[Kendal671]

lol

[hgpot]

mui bein...

[l0ll1ge]

I downloaded 3 as well. You will not have to download flash again if you install firefox in the same folder. I do find it annoying I have to find a new theme..

However, I switched back to 2, because of the zoom blur filter, witch blurs all zoomed images, but I want blocky ones.

Nice review :)

[dajakejake]

lol, one min after i switched~!!!~!
