Firefox 3, like it? Hate it? Apathetic? I think it's pretty nifty. The interface is pretty decent looking, and bookmarking is ridiculously easy now.
Firefox the Sequel!

I quite like it! It's been very good so far, and it's pretty. Can't wait to see people make new themes for it.
merchandise, merchandise, merchandise!!!!!
firefox the tshirt, firefox the lunchbox, firefox the flamethrower (for kids)!!!!!
ill wait for some themes, since the default firefox theme burns my retinas
I like chocolate!! No matter what flavor you get, you can always taste the broken dreams!
~Dead people should stay dead, otherwise whats the point of killing them???
Yeah, I downloaded it on the Launch Night or whatever it was called. It's alright, but I don't like that 75% of my Add-Ons are incompatible with this version, thus far anyways. They could eventually be updated to work with 3.0, but who likes waiting? Nobody.
I tried to download it earlier today, only for it to crash my computer.

Just downloaded it. The only difference I can see is the ugly new buttons.
I like Kung-Fu.
It's been working well for me so far; a compatible version of Adblock came out, so that's all good too.
They seem to have fixed the memory-hogging aspect of the old Firefox, which makes it even better than before.
I have been using the beta's and the rc since some time ago, so I'm actually accustomed to it by now. I like it anyways.
Yeah, I've been on the betas/release candidates for a while. Nice how my add-ons got updated pretty quick with the official release though. It's fine.
I love it. And everything I use got updated with about 12 hours.
The address bar thingy is still taking me a little while to get used to though. I use bookmarks for sites whose URLs I don't remember, but most of the sites I *do* use rather frequently I know the URLs for. So for example, if I start to type 'forums.eyesonff.com', on old Firefox it would be the first thing to come up in the drop-down by time I type in 'for'. Not so with Firefox 3 (at first)! It instead searches for 'for' in the *titles* of the sites I've visited, and there were a quite few sites that came up in FF3's drop-down before this place. However, if I just type 'eyes' into the address bar, it is the first thing that came up.
I'd imagine this would be a hell of a lot easier to people who remember names of sites better than their actual URL, but for someone like me who uses multiple computers I've just been conditioned to learn URLs.
However, Firefox quickly learns the sites you visit the most and gives them higher priority depending on what you type. So, where EoFF forums once ranked 4th when I started typing the URL, it now comes right to the top. So I guess the learning curve works both ways, and I don't have to worry about un-learning URLs.
I never really used firefox except during the time when I was in school.. I may start using it because I keep hearing how amazing it is and all that jazz.
Although I haven't seen much change in speed on my machine, memory usage is definitely much lower (200 MB instead of 400 MB after leaving tons of windows/tabs open for hours), and the awesomebar is awesome
awesomebar?
I'm also really liking that I can just type out a part of the title of a web page I've been to and Firefox will know what site I'm talking about. :P Easier than bookmarks. xP
