Yes. Firefox 3 is easily the best browser out there at the moment. I actually dislike previous versions of the browser (it used to be a lumbering resource hog,) but FF3 is vastly improved and I love every aspect of it.

If you have any extensions, make sure you download and install the "Nightly Tester Tools" ..it will let you use outdated extensions with your current browser version.

Opera is still faster, more secure, less memory-intensive, and more capable. I'll download the final version of FF3 for sure, but Opera is the superior browser.

See here

Follow that link; install the Nightly Tester Tools.

Restart your browser (if necessary)

Go in to Tools-->Add-ons

and

Restart the browser.

All your add-ons should now be compatible.

I'm using beta 4. Near all of the extensions I use are compatible with it so it's all good for me.

Beta 5 seems to run without issue for me. If only I can get them add-ons working. Velocitas8, I will try what you suggested.

I have beta 5 installed, but after using the browser's automatic update a while ago, it just does not work. It takes an eon to start the browser and it will not load any pages whatsoever.

At first I didn't quite like the 3 beta, but now I've grown fond of it. Specially the urls list thing. D: I thought it was obnoxious at first but it's proven to be quite useful that way. Plus, Firefox 2 crashed on me randomly and 3 never did, so far.

I tried using it, but for some reason when ever I attempted to use more than 5 tabs at once it would shut down. *Shrug*

Firefox 3 Beta 5 feels like a proper browser to me, not just some test model, i love it. Firefox 2 is decent as well, but it uses up a lot of resources
