It is slow, a resource hog, and it will not accept that shockwave flash is installed. I've tried and tried, and restarted and tried. So much for viewing most websites now a days correctly...

Yeah, it is for some reason slower than FF2 but I have no problems with Flash...yet.

See my post.

Also, I find it to be no less efficient than FF2 at using resources or viewing webpages.

Like any other company, they wanted to have a software download record and got caught up in the hype that they didn't polish their work.

Maybe when FF4 is released and not so much of a memory hog is when I'll use it.

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

I don't have anything negative to say about it over things that I didn't like about FF2...it runs JavaScript a lot faster (evidenced by GMail loading in 3 seconds instead of 10) and things like the phishing/virus/whatever filter are sure to attract people like my dad, who's currently using FF2.

I use FF3 without (many) hitches, but the only reason I don't use Opera is the plugin availability for FF and the fact it's updated regularly.

Same. Loads pages faster than FF2, uses less memory, and looks better too.

Widgets are part of Opera and serve much the same function as those ridiculous "extensions" that FF people whine about. As for regular updates, Opera is updated quite often as 9.5 just came out. And it's definitely better than FF. 9.5 is a lot more than a simple incremental update. Give it a shot and see for yourself.

Widgets unfortunately don't have the capabilities FF extensions have. Although this might change for the 10.0 version which is planned for somewhere in 2009. And anyway, most of the usefull extensions capabilities are in Opera by default (like ad-blocking, mouse gestures). And before anyone starts screaming "thievery" mouse gestures where in Opera before the FF plugin was ever created.

Works fine, I like the new location bar thing where it matches the text entry with favorites/history. Other than that I hardly notice a difference.

Only 3 differences I noticed:
-Theme
-Asks you if you would like to save tabs when closing
-Removal of "Remove" button in download manager.

I have not noticed any changes in performance or anything.

Performance has increased for me, especially regarding JavaScript and threaded-downloads. Stability is also alot better.

I love the enhanced search bar. Being able to sift through dozens of reviews on Journey's new album to easily find a specific review easily, put a smile on my face.

That smile was quickly wiped off when I learned Toto had dissolved. Angry

Same here, it is indeed a resource hog. Although it does look cool.

I haven't ran into any problems with FF3. If anything, it's better on resources than FF2 ever was. Though, if a lot of people are having problems, perhaps they should have been a little more thorough.

whoa.

I noticed pretty high CPU peaks (up to 60% on one core and some times even more) when loading a page. Opera and IE never use more then 10% when loading the exact same pages.
