Firefox 3 is out !

Many of you would already know this but if
you don't, get it from here.
Most of the add-ons including Firebug,
Add block etc. have released their
compatible versions as well but you
will have to find them manually over
the net, Firefox isn't yet able to find them.

As far as look and feel goes, yes it looks better.

1. Back/Forward buttons are easier to locate
with the mouse. Seems like a good usage of
Fritt's law.

2. Address bar auto completion searches on
page titles as well. This particular change,
I am not sure, if it actually helps anyone.
Personally, I have got used to the auto-completion
based on URL only, so this particular feature
is more of a nuisance.

If two urls have similar beginnings,
for e.g. finance.google.com/
and finance.google.com/
then depending on which one has been
used more frequently recently, will
come on top.


3. For bookmarking a page simply click the star
in the address bar.

4. A search box at the bottom right of the download
box. Plus some virus scanning is done after every download.

5. Free Download Manager has updated itself
for FF3 compatibility.

6. If you are closing FF3 with multiple tabs open,
now the default action is to save the tabs and quit.

7. Remember password dialogue box doesn't block
loading of the page.

8. Refresh, cancel and goto button are very very
sleek.

PS: It's currently quite unstable and keeps crashing often,
but has the ability to restore your previous tabs even after
crashing.
