Downloading a beta candidate now.

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1) Gecko/20081007 Firefox/3.1b1

Sucks that none of my addons are compatible, but it'll be okay for awhile.  I can switch back at any time.

There is an option to enable all the add ones to work, but I forgot what it is.

EDIT: Try this maybe?

Nightly Tester Tools does the job great.

Rad, everything works now.  Firefox is the best.

Been using a beta candidate (not a beta version, a beta candidate) for a couple days now, and everything has been smooth.

Errr, found a problem, maybe.  Using the official beta-1 release, Google Maps doesn't work.  When you go to the site, it loads a basemap of the US, which you can pan and zoom.  However, if you enter an address or location to search for, it displays "Loading" at the top of the page and is completely unresponsive.  Works great in Safari, so I have at least proved that it isn't the website or a network issue.

Maybe - haven't seen any problems at any other sites.  Anybody know a good Ajax/JS-heavy site I could test on?

Google Docs?

I'm sure they'll fix Firefox 3.1 so that google maps does work. You could search bugzilla or file?

edit: hell use help > report broken web site!

I checked Bugzilla, and there were like 200 various bug reports concerning Google Maps, in Windows and Mac versions.  Looked like it might have been an Ajax bug.  In an attempt to make sense of what exactly is going on, developers were asking everyone to try the latest nightly, and make sure to format their bug reports properly.  So I went and downloaded a 3.1b2 build, and now everything works great.  Google Maps is back to 100% normal.
