    iCalvyn, what’s ur home PC specs? I am running Firefox 3 in my notebook (P4 1.8GHz with 512MB RAM). It is ok.

    Danny, the improvement in Firefox 3 is awesome.

    Jayce, agree it with you. Firefox always rocks.

    simon, I always use tab browsing rather than opening a new browser.

    Forever28, all my extensions works in Firefox 3. You have to wait for the author or find a similar extension.
