I have been using Firefox 3 for a while, and I'm a happy camper. I managed to get both bookmark syncing and in-window pdf viewing to work in Firefox. Thus, I don't have much to wish for. Well, perhaps there are some rough corners here and there (minor blemishes in appearance etc.), but nothing which really bothers me. And Firefox has been stable on both my aluminium iMac and my iBook. No crashes, no slowing down - everything works smoothly. There are some things which are better in Safari and some things which are better in Omniweb, but nothing major is missing or badly implemented. In fact, for such a feature-laden browser, Firefox is quite elegant and simple to use. An additional bonus is that Firefox copes with some (Finnish) sites where Safari and Omniweb (based on webkit) have problems. This may be due to the fact that Finland is one of the leading countries in the world as regards Firefox use - almost half of the web surfers use Firefox. I was quite sceptical of Firefox 3 before I started testing it, but it surpassed all my expectations. Congratulations to the project!
