i like most of the changes, the browser seems more streamlined. i've been reading that it might be a good idea to hold off on installing it for security reasons but i'm not really worried about that. One thing that i dont like is that a couple of my extensions aren't compatible until they release a new version: torrent finder toolbar and mediaplayerconnectivity No big deal, i'm sure they'll be updated in the next few days.

You can force override them to make them compatible. At least you could with the release candidates.
Also, make sure to install noscript and the security should be fine.

So, I just started using Firefox 3 (even though I was on the 'dl on release day' list) and its fucking It just melds so well with all the add-ons.
I have spellbound, define, and foxy tunes. Spellbound and define make Firefox just as good as Microsoft word for making me look like I know what I'm doing when my fingers hit the keyboard. Foxy tunes is just as amazing as always it just amazes me how intuitive it is. I was listening to iTunes and clicked the info button and found a link to a Pandora station of what I was listening to, I just about busted a nut.

Quote:
As I have mentioned in my previous article about Chrome, every installation of Chrome receives a unique ID number, which is submitted to Google, for example when the browser is updated or when the program crashes. In order to present personalized suggestions while the user is typing into the Omnibox, Google relies on an outside database. To feed the database and make these personalized suggestions possible, all entries are logged in combination with the user’s IP address.
Although Google claims that the ID and logs from the Omnibox are stored anonymously and are not being used to create user profiles that may reveal browsing habits and personal interests, doubts remain. As a matter of fact, users do not have any control over what the gathered information is really being used for. Trust is good, control is better.
I'd gladly take slower page loads.

That can be disabled.. I found it way irritating myself, so I used the Google and found a way to disable it.
Otherwise, it's pretty badass.
