GutterPunk will become famous soon enough

Firefox 3

I just tried it out... z0mg amazing? The new browser is probably a minimum of 50% faster when browsing DH and about 10% faster everywhere else. Thank you Mozilla... anyone else try it out yet? If not... do!

It is a lot better than V2.x, however V2 seemed to be in a constant state of critical security bug fixes.

Opera 9.5 is still a better browser overall (not that I just like it more, but it renders faster, is already more secure and has a better interface as well as other things). I do feel its a fair statement however as I use IE, FF, Opera, Safari and a few others extensively .......

I do quite like V3 FF mind you, so you FF lovers don't get all annoyed!

I have a question. When I load a page, I can no longer right click another bookmark and open in a new tab, all options are greyed out until the current page loads. Previously in FF2 this was not the case. Any way around this?

I've noticed it too. It doesn't happen all the time though.

Something else I've noticed is that the dictionary is having trouble with compound words. It works, then it doesn't (<-- perfect example, the dictionary is saying this compound word is spelled wrong, but the one in my previous line is just fine). Then all of a sudden as I keep typing it says it's fine (which it did just after I typed that last bit).
