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!

Hey it's just RC1

maybe i should put in test rather than try... either way... worth its weight in a 8MB download.

It's nice visually and speedily (?).

I like it.

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 like it, except for the address bar crap, but i picked up a plug in that put it back to something that resembles its hold look and feel.

I don't mind the new address bar much
just takes getting used to (like any other new interface)

9 million downloads as of this minute!!! (9,007,355 !)

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).
