This maybe isn't suited to Hacker News but is there anyone on this forum that don't use Firefox 3?
I just switched from Firefox 2 and having both Safari and IE installe don my computer and while I thought Firefox 2 was really good it wasnt superior but Firefox 3 is just awesome.
The smartbar is awesome, Im having an evergrowing list of bookmarks but Firefox 3 handles that so nicely by suggesting and saving from previously visited sites.
IE is unsafe and slow, Safari doesn't handle everything and is ugly.
Firefox 3 is very fast, much faster than the previous and can handle much more tabs and windows, very welcome.
It is very customizable
(well entirely you could say considering it is open source but I mean for average Joe it is still fairly easy to change basic stuff).
Well done, all features are welcome, none are annoying.
A good example of how good open source can be!
They've changed something with how the browser loads pages, and I find if I'm loading a particularly unresponsive page, it hangs and I have no access to the stop button. It' really quite annoying.
It seems to crash randomly without any input from me. Previously, FF would crash sometimes if I opened too many tabs at once, now, FF crashes while I'm moving my mouse.
The behavior of the bookmarks menu to me is completely counter intuitive and very annoying. You basically can't access your bookmarks without automatically creating a new one for the current page. That's wacko.
I'm still not happy that it's such a resource hog either. It's the number one memory user on my pc right now... outpacing IDE's, email clients and MS office. It's a fricken browser!
This could just be my experience, and FF is still my goto browser, but overall I'm not that impressed with the direction Mozilla is going. I'd love it if they licked the RAM issues and just kept things as simple as possible. I don't need the "feature creep".
