FireFox 3 Beta Pretty Neat
March 26, 2008

Daring Fireball's recent article on the FireFox 3 beta got me interested enough to give it a try. Wow, I'm glad I did - as its totally replaced FireFox 2 on my Macbook. For me, its main point above all else is the awesomeness of the default theme. I have dislike the way that the default FF2 (really, it is the FF1 default theme with a little icon work) theme held up to the newest wave of operating systems. FF3's theme is definitely a huge improvement.

Stability's definitely good, as I haven't had a single crash in the day or so that I've been using it. I'm also noticing helpful little features here and there, but like other's have said - there are no massive improvements. I'm happy enough - so... thanks for the awesome software!

Update - 2008-03-25

Ok, now that I've spent a bit more time with it I absolutely love it. Oh, that's right. I went there. The URI autocomplete box is revamped now to include titles and favicons which is an awesome feature, the file upload control is now revamped so that you no longer have to find the little "browse" button to pop the browse dialog and the <form> controls now finally use OS native widgets. Hearts!
