Mine is tricked out with a load of add-ons, so I will be holding off on ff3 until my add-ons become available there. My add-ons: Restarter - adds an option to restart firefox while keeping all your tabs (I usually have 200-250 tabs open). This is a great feature when you need to 'reboot' firefox when it begins eating too much memory Fasterfox - Makes firefox... faster. NoScript - This pretty much asks for your permission for everything. It prevents popups and browser hijackings. Love this add-on. PDF Download - Combine this with PDF-XChange and you can stop hating PDFs! Screen Grab - captures screenshots, even custom sized ones. Smart Pagerank Toolbar - Essential for domainers. Shows PR and Alexa, but I like the "Valuate" option as it shows waybackmachine, backlinks and indexed pages for sites. Also acts as a whois. Best of all: you can MOVE the toolbar onto another toolbar to save space. Tab Mix Plus - best add-on to manage/customize your tabs. Torrent Finder Toolbar - searches loads of torrent sites. Download Statusbar - turns the useless space at bottom of browser into a download center. Delicious Bookmarks - Name says it all. Rich Click Link - opens links in new tabs when you right click them. SEOpen - The toolbar has google, msn, yahoo and alexa options to search for backlinks and indexed pages. Smart Bookmarks Bar - Takes my bookmarks and turns them into icons so I can fit 60+ bookmarks on my browsers face. Yes, 60+. I also have some add-ons that firefox doesn't actually list, like: When you highlight a word in your browser and then right click, you get the option to open it as a website or search google (one of these is a vanilla option). I use the website one a lot. If I see a word or words, I can highlight them and open it immediately to see if they are registered. This even does multiple words; it will take out the spaces and add a .com to the end. I have a few others as well. With my blog and domaining, I actually use all these add-ons quite often. So I will reluctantly hold off on ff3 until most of these are available. I’ve used Firefox for a long time.
