I tried one of the RCs for it and decided it sucks. FF 2 for me until something better comes along..

Yeah, I'm really annoyed by what they did with the Back/forward button look.

We had a secret download party at work. We went around to every free lab machine and downloaded/installed FF3. It was something like 300 machines; was tricky since those labs are pretty heavily used, but there were only a few machines we had to skip.

That's one thing I really don't like about th enew version, on the rare occasion when I need to go back several pages and use the dropdown button, I have trouble finding it.

Personally, I like the new dropdown history in the location bar. That's slick.

I used to use a safari-esque skin (iFox) that didn't have the dropdown icon, so I'm used to right clicking to get the popup. I think the new skin is better than the old skin, but I still wish iFox supported ff3 'cause it's better than either. :)

here's a positive: firefox no longer freezes for 5 seconds when I initiate a download!

here's a negative:

-1
Here's an impossibility:
1/0

you going to let a little thing like impossibility get in your way?

No, I just said it was there.

Haha, I felt that way at first, too, but I managed to ease into it and now I like it. :)

I agree with Hitmen.  We fear change.

I hate the pop-down thing when you're typing in the address bar. I wish it wouldn't display the title of the page. To much wasted space. Is there a way to make it stop?

I hated AwesomeBar as well, now I can't browse without it.

Agreed.

The thing is, it isn't great at first, but after a couple days it gets to "know" you, and basically gets everything on the first go.

Okay, but, if I don't like it how do I get rid of it?
