Extensions and Themes
Extensions installed under Firefox 3 may be incompatible and/or require updates to work with Firefox 3.1 Beta 3. Please report any issues to the maintainer of the extension. When you install Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 all of your Extensions and Themes will be disabled until Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 determines that either a) they are compatible with the Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 release or b) there are newer versions available that are compatible.
Known Issues
This list covers some of the known problems with Firefox 3.1 Beta 3. Please read this before reporting any new bugs.
- All Systems
-
- Dragging a tab onto the desktop doesn't create a new window (see bug 475066)
- Occasionally Google Mail will fail to respond when creating a new filter, showing advanced search options, or clearing the spam folder. Reloading Google Mail fixes the issue (see bug 477101 and bug 478778)
- When returning from Private Browsing Mode, some sites served over SSL will not load properly (see bug 463256)
- Some users with older computers or slower Internet connections may experience choppy OGG video/audio playback (see bug 462667)
- Users who run this beta, then downgrade to a previous Firefox 3.1 Alpha or Beta, will be unable to use stored passwords (see bug 467463)
- Microsoft Windows
-
- If you are using MS Natural Input 2002 v8.1, IME will automatically activate when certain text fields are focused. This is a known Microsoft issue (see bug 478882)
Troubleshooting
- Poorly designed or incompatible extensions can cause problems with your browser, including make it crash, slow down page display, etc. If you encounter strange problems relating to parts of the browser no longer working, the browser not starting, windows with strange or distorted appearance, degraded performance, etc, you may be suffering from Extension or Theme trouble. Restart the browser in Safe Mode. On Windows, start using the 'Safe Mode' shortcut created in your Start menu or by running
firefox.exe -safe-mode
. On Linux, start with./firefox -safe-mode
and on Mac OS X, run:cd /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/
./firefox-bin -safe-mode - If you uninstall an extension that is installed with your user profile (i.e. you installed it from a Web page) and then wish to install it for all user profiles using the -install-global-extension command line flag, you must restart the browser once to cleanse the profile extensions datasource of traces of that extension before installing with the switch. If you do not do this you may end up with a jammed entry in the Extensions list and will be unable to install the extension globally.
- If you encounter strange problems relating to bookmarks, downloads, window placement, toolbars, history, or other settings, it is recommended that you try creating a new profile and attempting to reproduce the problem before filing bugs. Create a new profile by running Firefox with the -P command line argument, choose the 'Manage Profiles' button and then choose 'Create Profile...'. Migrate your settings files (Bookmarks, Saved Passwords, etc) over one by one, checking each time to see if the problems resurface. If you do find a particular profile data file is causing a problem, file a bug and attach the file.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What can I do to help?
We need help from developers and the testing community to provide as much feedback as possible to make Firefox even better. Please read these notes and the bug filing instructions before reporting any bugs to Bugzilla. You can also give us your feedback through this feedback form.
- Why haven’t you responded to the mail I sent you?
Use the newsgroup. The Firefox team reads it regularly, and your email may have gotten lost.
- Where can I get extensions and themes (add-ons)?
Extensions and Themes can be downloaded from Firefox Add-ons.
- Who makes Firefox 3.1 Beta 3?
Lots of people. See Help->About Mozilla Firefox, Credits for a list of some of the people who have contributed to Firefox 3.1 Beta 3.

A tarball of the Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 source code is available for download. The latest development code can be obtained through Mercurial. Firefox-specific source is in mozilla-central's 'browser', 'toolkit', and 'chrome' directories. Please follow the build instructions.
- Where is the mail client?
Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 works with whatever mail client is the default on your system. However, we recommend Mozilla Thunderbird, our next-generation email client and the perfect complement to Firefox.
