I downloaded Firefox 3 yesterday and so far I like it. I was pleased to see almost all of my extensions were supported in version 3 with the exception of Colorzilla, at least as of yesterday, today it seems that it's supported

So after using this for most of the day yesterday and this morning I think (I may be wrong) but it seems to be faster than version 2. I also like the clean look of the default theme. But I think the biggest thing about this release is the address bar thingy (that's a technical term ). It not only shows you your history, but you can add/remove bookmarks from the address bar and as you type the address it drops down and shows you all the addresses that you've visited as you type, narrowing down as each letter is typed (does that make sense?), like a type ahead box. Very cool

I also found another interesting add-on called Tab Scope. Now I don't know if this really has a good use but I think it's neat none-the-less. When you hover your mouse over a tab, a little screenshot of the tab pops up. You can enlarge it, navigate forward and back, refresh the page or close the tab. Pretty cool but it may take a little use to find a real need for it other than being cool.

There was also talk around the blogosphere that Firebug wasn't supported in version 3, well good news, it is now! Here are some other extensions I use and they all work in Firefox 3!

All in all I think Firefox 3 seems to be a good release, at least so far and how much can you really tell in a day of use. But if the reputation of Mozilla is anything, I bet Firefox will continue to be THE browser of choice (at least by me).
