You may as well I suppose. The colour scheme is slightly different and a few buttons are bigger. Other than that, the only difference seems to be that some of my add-ons don't work with it...
It looks nicer. Improved search facility, I just downloaded a plug in that lets you customize google searches, stuff like in an image search if you click the image it just opens the image, the link for the full website is separated. It's also quicker and looks nicer so far.
Definitely quicker.
Speed is biggest change I have noticed.Quote:

Precisely why I won't be updating for a few weeks or months. I live in my browser and I've trimmed my addons back to the absolute bare minimum I can deal with, but there's still a good dozen there and at least 3 or 4 critical ones still aren't ready for FF3. Disappointing considering the lead time the developers have had, but then they do it voluntarily so who am I to complain.Quote:

it learns, it gets very handy after a while. if its the wrong result, press down a few times and pick the right one. I've been using Firefox 3 pretty much since they started coding it, and the ability to go to certain pages - e.g. threads on this site - is very handy.Quote:

I agree. Very good. I find it very good for keeping to-do list and sticky notes are also great for work.Quote:

Yeah that annoys me too, any way to stop that? otherwise brilliant browser.Quote:

For instance, if I type "lisbon" im treated to the lisbon treaty thread from here, or if i type firefox it lists me the firefox maintenance page for linux followed by the official homepage. There's some savvy maths to work out the order, which you can actually adjust yourself in "about:config" (type that into the address bar) to prefer "homepages" if you'd like.Quote:
