Release notes: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0rc2/releasenotes

I've been using FF3 for many months now, never going back to FF2! It's currently using (rather, has allocated) 110MB of RAM with 7 tabs open, and it's very fast...

Would be nice to see benchmarks with this RC!

long ago I used the Safari, but now I use the IE7 and sometimes the Firefox together.

Thanks for the information about the new release of CR2!!
I will see how good it is.


A month before I downloaded IE8 beta , but it seemed to have many problems!!!I can't wait to see the original (=not beta) IE8 releasing!

Used to use Opera at work.......nice features but a PIG on the resources.

Then had FF2 at home, but moved to IE when I went to Vista. Honestly, I like the new IE interface so sue me.

Now, FF3 at work, much better than FF2 but not quite as slick interface as what I'm used to at home now......ya so sue me, I know FF pwns behind the interface.


So........IE at home, FF3 at work. For now.

In this test FF3RC2 scores 736ms while Opera 9.5b scores 679ms, on my PC.

I'm just not comfortable in Opera.. Confused
