Mozilla says Firefox 3 beta is ready for prime time, we beg to differ (Download Squad)

Mar 21st 2008 12:37PM Installed FF3b4 about a week ago, and while I'm really pleased with the functionality and the performance improvements, I haven't been able to install most of the plugins I had under FF2 (partially to thank for better performance?) and the thing crashes several times a day. It doesn't really bother me so much though because it's clear that this is a step in the right direction and because I know that I'm using beta software. If they release it to the general public without some improvements in stability, my fear is that it would erode some of the gains they've made in market share over the past few years.
