- are you kidding? Ff3 is great for me. It's been great for me since the early betas. FF2 was leaking so much ram.Mojo

how frequently do you start firefox wtf?
it´s not your regular browser, i suppose?
- kern2burn0
gung_hoek has got a point. If you use Firefox regularly, the updates aren't that bad at all. Although, the latest version of FF is pretty bad. It even resembles Safari a little bit, which I was turned off to immediately.

I will say one thing, I like the next forward and back buttons. More ergonomic.

what turned me off the most was when u type in a URL it predicts what site ur starting to type. which is normal but it gives the page title information and stuff too it's just clunky
- I've come to love that feature - so useful for recalling URLs
detritus - boy, how i feel your pain. i´m stumbling over that thing so many times every day.gung_hoek
- i've grown fond of it as wellarmsbottomer
- tasty I think thats exactly what I hate about it too. The stupid motherfucker tries to guess what I want.PIITB

I don't know about the new FF being "ergonomic", but I will say it looks as though they were going for something a little more easy to handle. I suppose I still prefer the original to this latest update. The latest is still too buggy for me. I've found myself using Safari more than FF recently.

I'm surprised that FF's interface so closely resembled that of Safari. I would have thought a more innovative design leap would be taken on this version.

Also noticed there are some minor CSS rendering changes. Buttons on many sites being off by a pixel of two. Anyone know what the change is and how to write code for it?
- noticed that too, but don't know how to code for it...pencilpants
