Re: New Firefox 3 and Addons

I been using Gran Paradiso since Alpha 3, and I can tell you this - it has changed a lot, and it is a *lot* faster than previous versions of Fx.

As it gets closer and closer to release time, more and more extensions are being fixed for compatibility with Fx 3. I have since dumped my Fx 2 (Bon Echo) profile for my Fx 3 only profile.

When I say fast - it loads faster than IE and Opera. It renders faster than both. It simply blows most competition out of the water.

it is a lot more stable. And it is a lot more functional.

Since RC 1 has been released, 10 major bugs and 4 minor ones have been reported. On the 27th Mozilla will decide if they take an additional step to RC 2 or release Fx 3 final, and catch those bugs in Fx 3.0.1.
