It keeps most things, but I lost a couple skins and useless addons (although strangely enough a certain addon stayed and IMPROVED).
Bookmarks are all there though. I'm using the development version (which I downloaded yesterday, so it should pretty much be the final version).
It supports animated PNG files. They look deliciously beautiful, because you can now have smooth, crisp animations with 8-channel alpha blending without jamming a flash file on the page.
The decimals state how major a modification was. Firefox 2 never went through much change; most of it was topical data. THe jump to 3 was made because the program was re-optimized and re-constructed to provide better performance while using less memory. And it does, too.
Strangely enough, when you click and drag on things, it will show a shadowed version of the item under your cursor while you drag it (very similar to how Vista does this, although I'm using XP right now). There are a few other changes, but I'm not sure what they are.
It's the same old Firefox, it just runs slightly better.

The hell? It's not even the final version, it's another release candidate. |

They #####ed up the auto-fill address bar. It now takes up too much space and looks cluttered.
Are you talking about how it shows a list of possibilities in the address bar when you go to type in an address? Because I actually really like that...because sometimes I can't remember exactly what the address is that I want to type, or there will be multiple pages that show up from the same site, and I don't know which one I want -- but now it shows the titles for the pages, too! So I really find that a lot easier to use, because then I can look through the titles and pick the one I want, because sometimes I'm actually way off in terms of typing the actual address. ANYWAY. I got kind of annoyed yesterday because Mozilla's site was down every time I tried to download Firefox 3. But then somebody posted a link somewhere to the British English version, so I downloaded that one instead. I haven't actually noticed any oddities in terms of language though (vs. US English), and it works just fine, so it's cool. Plus the only one of my add-ons that didn't work anymore (other than my theme) was PicLens...which I can just re-download whenever they update it anyway. And I'm not all that disappointed about the loss of my old theme colors because I got a new on that's a lot better. So def. win/win for me so far. |
