this mozilla firefox 3.1 beta 2 it’s runing to slow on my computer and how do you activate private browsing yo didn’t said nothing about that ! why? let us know please and add an image so i can know that I’m in private mode and using it ! and modifie the default theme to look more cool if that’s the proper word ! and add more stuff and tehnology to this browser and then more people will find it more interesting and they’ll start using it like I do. Please add an update notifier to let you know when some add-ons hase been updated or even FF3 and try to add more security on FF3 like Opera has ! Oh and by the way Mozilla Firefox it’s the coolest web browser !! it’s so simple to use and smart but it needs more improvements and new tehnology !!! to be the best browser in the world and to beat google chrome !

Just upgraded to 3.1 Beta 2 via the update mechanism and the problem still exists. When I open the Add-Ons window there’s nothing there. Going to have to find somewhere to report this. And then find my Beta 1 files…

@Paul Rouget

Yeah, I have been wondering about a few addons I have listed as experimental for months now as well. I wonder if they will be made public before Christmas.

Ironically, Build 1 and Build 2 wreck the Add-Ons window. Nothing is displayed in there. Went back to 3.0 and all was fine. Disabled MR Tech Toolkit and JIT – not fixed. Finally went back to 3.1 Beta 1 … and it’s okay. If this bug is not reported, then I hope someone in the loop can contact me.

What Jerome said. Has mozilla stopped making add-ons public? I find the whole situation extremely annoying.

Dear Mozilla Team,

I’ve had a fairly popular extension hosted on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7757 for months now (since June ’08) and have not been able to get anyone to take a look at it for public approval. It has been nominated and in the sandbox the whole time.

The add-on called “Blank Canvas Gmail Signatures” has been covered by Cnet (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10109286-2.html) and has roughly 1K downloads a week, 27.5K total downloads, and a 5 star rating from over 120 reviews.

Can someone take a look at it or let me know where the add-on is in line to be reviewed?

Sincerely,
Jerome
