I really liked their old look more. They are simulating safari a lot right now. The look and feel has changed from any previous version.

Hmm.. nice I'll give it a try.

What's it add?

[PeteJaffa]

Colour management is a great addition to the new FF3 releases.

plus it fixes the memory leaks of ff2. However the beta doesn't really work with any add-ons right now so I uninstalled it after using it for about 3 minutes.

The exif viewer I use still works and that's the only one I use.

Not as of yet.

I'm sure a theme will be made to restore it back to the old firefox look. They definitely made it look more like safari. I dont like how I dont have a home button... it put it in the bookmark bar, yuck.

I didn't like that ether, but I found the way. Just right click on your toolbar, add the bookmark toolbar then click on customize. Now you can drag the home icon to the window, then drag it back to where aver you want it.

For those of us with poorer eyesight (or huge monitors), FF3 is great, as it remembers the zoom (which I apply using ctrl-+, ctrl-- and ctrl-0 to reset) on a site specific basis.

I'm not bothered too much by the theme changes, and adblock+ works which is the only real plugin I use.

That's one of the things I don't like too.

Guys, if any of you haven't fully customized your Firefox experience, you're really missing out. First of all, go get yourself a skin for free. I am currently using Aquatint Black, but BlackJapan is my old favorite. Then, customize your toolbars. I highly recommend a "new tab" button next to your home button. None of this ctrl+T business.

Anyone using Hotmail and experience some problems checking email?

I don't use Hotmail, but I loaded the Beta to try it out and had all kinds of problems. Many flash games just wouldn't work, some sites locked up, and it kept crashing. I went back and figure I'll await the official release.

Haven't tried flash games, but the only problem I see now is with the mail. I had this problem back with Beta 2 also, but sometimes it would work. Now I can't check my email at all.

I like pressing cmd + t. I am getting ready to type a new url anyway, so my fingers are ready to go. :) The skin idea is a good alternative.

[lakiluno]

the betas are pretty good. I love the new DB-based bookmarks.

Never use the home button, so I don't really care where it is. I have about 7 homepages, so if I accidentally hit it, I end up with 7 unwanted tabs... :p

Firefox 3 beta 4 is released if anyone is interested. Also on the same link in the first post.
Yay.. my hotmail is working now :)
