Been using the Beta for months. Seems about the same as Firefox 2 to me.

Uses a fair bit less memory when you've got a few tabs open which is nice, especially on my decade old machine.

Think the site renderer has had a complete overhaul, haven't noticed things being displayed much differently.

The magic address bar is pretty ace.

Oh and it seems more stable too. Don't think it's crashed once, not even the betas. Firefox 2 used to dies quite often.

I noticed that, thats why I got rid of FF2 and went to IE7 which was quite shite, also used netscape which was good as it had a spell checker on forms. I Dare say there is something similar for firefox

Didn't Netscape die horribly ages ago? And then the opensource engine bit (the mozilla bit?) go towards firefox? or some random order of stuff? All these random things get confusing.

Yeah, I think the default first run start up page for firefox asks if you want to install a spell checker.

I hate the "awsome bar".

Thankfully the oldbar addon gets rid

Doesn't that just change the look, it still works the same new way?

If you're using FF3, type about:robots in the address bar and hit enter.

In a few months i'll move to FF3, but i still use FF2 as i hate upgrading to a new version and losing all the plugins. No doubt within a few weeks they'll all be sorted though and i can be happy. I keep getting told Opera is the new king, but i found FF has so few shortfalls, i see no reason to change. To be fair, that's probably why i'll stay on 2 for ever and a day.
