Firefox 3: thoughts and impressions.

Well, I did my part.

I just installed the latest Firefox as part of download day.

My first thoughts (I haven’t looked at ff3 since and early beta…)

I miss my bookmarks that all got deleted (meh.)
I miss(ed) firebug. ( getfirebug.com v.1.1 v.1.2 works just fine)
I miss(ed) firecookie ( http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/firecookie/firecookie-05-beta/ v0.5 seems to work fine)
Firefox no longer crashes fatally every time I close it. (seriously, every single time I closed it)
Startup and shutdown are INCREDIBLY fast compared to ff2.
I miss my themes… and mozilla.org is a little swamped right now, so I can’t get a new one. However, the default theme is really not bad at all.. I just miss my old one.

We’ll see how well it deals with being left running… hopefully I’ll never see memory usage of 1,268,300k ever again.

I’ll update with more as I remember things.

Update: I upgraded to ff3 on my macbook.
