Well, installed it on download day last week and so far so good, best browser from any company so far.

personally, i like the tweaks to the bookmark functions, and also the quick search in the address bar.

yeah, but otherwise very solid, very smooth and quite well done.

discuss!

It's a bit 'meh' to me. Function wise, I think I prefer FF2. The new address bar annoys me, as I liked the old one that listed a lot more of where I'd been, without showing my the title of each and every page I'd visited as well as the URL. I guess it is a bit better for searching through URLs you've been to (especially if you only remember a partial URL), but I generally just go back to the same sites over and over, and I'd made a habit of doing it from my history there.

Aside from that, I don't really make use of any of the new changes... I'm a boring browsing person I guess.

I think it's all right. I'd forgotten that I'd even updated to FF3 the other week until I saw this thread.
I installed it last week and most of my add-ons stopped working. Updates have been released for almost all the ones I use now but it was annoying at the time. Plus my beloved Mario Bros theme wasn't compatible :(
I think the Awesome Bar(!) is all right but I don't really use it. Like Beefy, I tend to visit the same bookmarked sites I always go to. I removed the Most Visited link for the same reason (and to hide my surfing for fetish porn of course).
It's supposed to be faster now but I can't really tell. Bookmarking is improved. A couple of very usefull scripts already built-in. Overall, I'm happy with it but it hasn't changed the way I browse.
