    Do you think it's necessary to test websites in both firefox 3 and 2? Is there any difference between the two in terms of rendering?

    Thanks

    I haven't noticed any difference myself. I think you should be OK between the two.

    There is a difference, my site looks ok in FF2 and IE but in FF3 a mysterious thin line came out. My designers can't figure out what happen. I think you better test for both FF2 and FF3 just in case.

    I haven't ran into that problem yet but apparently they occur. Hopefully you can get that fixed. If you can't let me know, I'm pretty good with coding and design myself.

    despite FF3 calling itself stable, it's still pretty unstable. watch for updates

    I found firefox 3 to be unstable too, one of most annoying thing is high CPU usage problem and sometimes it doesn't close itself, I have to use task manager to kill it manually.... anyone having the same problem?

    Nope, I haven't. I haven't experience any problems with FF3 so I'm surprised to hear many people complaining about it.

    Same here in my opinion. I like FF2 better visually but FF3 has been dynamite for me thus far.

    I think maybe I should of uninstall FF2 first before installing FF3.
