Firefox 3

I installed Firefox 3 a week or so ago and so far I’m not that impressed.  I don’t notice that much difference and I lost a major add-on that I need in the upgrade.  Hmmm.

  1. GMail and other AJAX sites are a bit faster for me but I also have 8 tabs and a couple windows open at the same time. Biggest thing fixed are the memory leaks. I’d have to restart Firefox a lot (every few days) on my Mac because it’d eat away at 2 GB quickly. Of course, FF3 is currently using 387 MB right now and I have 8 tabs in 1 window open. In FF2, it’d be closer to 600 MB. Eh.
    I also use IE7 on my Work PC and I like it too.

  3. Camino runs on the Mozilla engine as well and had a better UI for the Mac compared to FF2. But with FF3, the UI is now platform specific so the Mac GUI styles apply to FF3 and looks just like Camino. No point in Camino now.
