Do you like FireFox 3?

    After trying new FF I realized how much I need my plugins that no longer work on FF3. Ok, so this will be sorted eventually but it will take time. Secondly, it looks like bloody IE! Why oh why did Mozilla copy their style? Even the freaking back and forwards buttons look similar. You can fix this with a new skin (Eventually) I suppose. Now whats with the shitty url bar search system? On FF2 I used to be able to just tap in the first few letters of the domain and the most visited pages from that domain would appear. Now it displays every single freaking domain containing these letters in DN or its name and displays this rubish in some random order. It does not seem to be any faster than previous FF.

    The only good thing I have noticed is ability to save your session and small RAM consumption even though with 4GB here it does not make any difference anyway.

    Im switching back.

    Did you uninstall FF3? if you have both installed they will act funny. You need to uninstall either one

    Personally, I love the new address bar. I often visit forums and Youtube, and its hard to remember the urls.

    Can't wait for the stable version.

    Its good but only if you have no work with plugins because it does not support most of the plugins :)

    Its nice when you try to work in FF beta 3 but add-ons do not work , even it crashes in my friends system. Will surely use FF 3 but when it will be fully developed not the beta version.
