I thought I would check out to see what the latest Firefox has in store.  I downloaded the latest Firefox 3.03b beta

A few things I have noticed after playing around -

• When I goto Google Email, it does not freeze and crash! Ya!! I have re downloaded, reinstalled, disabled all add ons and still could not get Firefox to quit crashing. Firefox 3 is not crashing!
• Disable CSS Quickly by clicking View | Page Style | No Style - Great for Web Developers testing CSS and also disabling for accessibility issues. No need to download a separate program to disable cssin a few clicks.
• It is titled "Minefield"
• When you close the browser and have tabs open, it asks you if you want to open the tabs on the next start
• Keyboard navigation of web pages via TAB broken (See link to bug)
• The new HTML 5 activeElement and hasFocus attributes are supported
• The display property’s inline-block and inline-table values are now implemented
• Firefox 3 offers JavaScript 1.8
• Supports the animated PNG (APNG) image format
• Unified bookmarks and history organizer
• You can now associate keywords with your bookmarks
• Opening a folder of bookmarks in tabs now appends the new tabs instead of replacing the existing ones
• Like IE, you can now use FULL Page view - greater than maximize (f11)
• Improved Download Manager
• Built In Antivirus
• Protection from pages that might have malware
• Memory usages reduced with "over 300 memory "leak" bugs fixed and new features to help automatically locate and dispose of leaked memory blocks"
• Improved speed (drawing and redrawing rates)

So far, so good. I like it! Time will tell how it holds up in the end and how it handles web development
