Yuku free message boards

The link Lost Gnostic provides a download of Firefox 3.0.4. That's old, and as SciFi says, it doesn't have the latest security patches.

3.0.x will continue to be maintained and upgraded through January, 2010, however. In the past, it seems that Mozilla has maintained the previous version of Firefox for a little bit beyond the announced deadline. You can find the latest version of 3.0.x (which is currently 3.0.11) by following these steps:

1. Navigate to mozilla.com's main page.
2. Follow the "Other Systems and Languages" link located under the big download button.
3. Look at the "Other Versions" list on the right-hand side of the page. There's a link to grab 3.0.11.

Here's the direct link to download 3.0.x. I listed the steps above because I thought they were useful. You're not always going to have the direct URL handy.

Extension and theme compatibility is the reason big Firefox upgrades (e.g. 3.5) aren't pushed through automatic updates immediately upon release. There are authors who prefer not to update their work until the new version is officially released; others simply haven't gotten around to it.

FF 3.x messed with the yuku fonts, and I was tired of having to adjust down from huge fonts all the time.

Boards should add this to the top of their advanced CSS to accommodate members who still use Firefox 3.0.x:

table {font-size: inherit;}

If you're not an owner or admin, members should let the owner or admin know that the code should be added. As a last ditch effort for boards that don't have the code, members can install the Stylish extension with the "tame large Yuku fonts" style.

I believe Yuku was going to add "table {font-size: inherit;}" to its default CSS, but there hasn't been a code push to effect it. Unlike Yuku Firefox extension compatibility, the large text thing is a Firefox issue rather than a Yuku one.
