Mozilla Firefox 3 is out. There is a seemingly cool add on called "Foxmarks" that syncs bookmarks across different computers and serves as a backup. I cant get it to install though. Anybody using version 3 yet?

i tried downloading it tuesday, but my internet connection took a shit.

have a friend who installed it, and seemed to dig it.

(right then... i'm not actually helpful .)

I've been using it for about 4 months now.  I like it just fine, but I don't find it any better than FF2 so far.  Firefox is the greatest development browser because of Firebug, but when I'm not debugging, I prefer to use Safari - it's just quicker.

Have had it for about 2 weeks, not much different ;D

I had been using Safari since I downloaded it with iTunes. It worked great at first, but lately, it has locked up A LOT when using several tabs...

I've noticed the same thing happening with Firefox.  And I've been using FF3 for months.

But on average I have probably 10 tabs open.

I usually have less than that and was having a problem. I am now back to IE with no problems. It's just, in general, slower than Safari was when it was working right...

I heard there was an issue about having more than 14 instances of flash (ads, videos, etc) open on PC. I downloaded it wednesday for Mac and for the most part enjoy it.

Been using it for a while too. Nothing noticeable also. My only gripe is the loss of some add-ons until they're updated. Thank God both Flashblock and Adblock Plus are compatible!

I was commenting on Safari for Mac actually, I can't comment on the WIndoze version.  I do testing in IE6/7 on a VMWare XP image and if I had to use either one of those browsers (especially 6) on a regular basis, I might kill myself.  Also, I believe a new version of Safari for Windows was released a couple days ago, maybe it addressed your tabbed browsing issue?

I just downloaded FF3 last week and I haven't really noticed anything too different.  The only thing that really stood out was the new location bar.  I don't like it, it just bugs me.
