Anyone tried it yet?

[Dragunov]

I did, very sweet one, same UI as Firefox 3.0, and a couple of new features in it...

Only the googlebar and such doesn't work yet

[hokeyplyr48]

permission is denied? anyone else getting this?

[crainger]

Yep. I'm denied. ::(:

[Dragunov]

I got access to the ftp

[Tr1cK]

I wish the google toolbar would work with it. I'm dying without my instant word find.

[Dragunov]

Yep, I also use the google toolbar only to search in google

[Tr1cK]

For some reason, it's not saving my login credentials for this site.

After installing the version 3.1b1 the following extension are not working.
Web Developer 1.1.6
Torrent Finder Toolbar 1.2..4
PDF Download 2.0.0.0
DownloadHelper 3.3
Canadian English Dictionary 1.1.1

OK extensions
Adblock Plus 0.7.5.5
IE View 1.3.9

I use Windows XP and the above are the only extensions I had installed before the 3.1b1 upgrade.

Everything else looks smooth, it feels as fast as Google Chrome.

I like the Firefox better mainly for the easy Menu customizing and easy access to the search engines other than Google.

edit: nvm i figured it out. not a single one of my add-ons were compatible apparently.
what's actually different because it looks/feels identical...

[Dragunov]

The addons just need the code

[Tr1cK]

I fixed the google toolbar and made it compatible with 3.1.

Let me see if I can find a place to upload it.

[crainger]

Now fix it so it works with Chrome.

I still cannot believe they didn't integrate Google Bookmarks into Google Chrome. What were they thinking! Oh wait. It's a beta. ::o:

How did u fix it, cause I use the Dutch version

[Tr1cK]

save the .xpi file to your PC.
open the .xpi file with a zip program and extract the contents to a new folder
inside the zip is an "install.rdf" file
open "install.rdf" with wordpad
in the file, search for "maxVersion" (without quotes)
replace what is most likely "3.0.*" with "3.1.*"
save the changes and exit
rezip the contents back into a zip file
rename the zip file to .xpi extension
open the .xpi file with Firefox

[Dragunov]

thx

*update*

Couldn't install, cause it didn't find installation script -204

[Tr1cK]

You have the directory structure inside the xpi file you created wrong. It should have the exact same structure as the xpi you download from google.

Alternatively, I uploaded my fix here:

[Dragunov]

ok, thx, but I need a Dutch version :)

I now just opened the file inside the zip, so didn't unzip it and still those error message, weird

[Tr1cK]

Just download this file (http://www.filedropper.com/gt) and open it with firefox. The fix should already be done and it looks like it has all versions included.

[Dragunov]

ok, this is official 3, now only beta 5 :)

thx

[Tr1cK]

Here are both google toolbar versions for Firefox 3.1 beta:

[Dragunov]

thx, how did u change it, with winzip?

thx

[Tr1cK]

I use 7-zip instead of Winzip.

I used that and wordpad to modify it.
