    The full release is out today. What are your views? Also what addon do you use?

    I have only just downloaded it but first impressions are good and it seems v fast.

    The only downside so far is that it will not work with my Skype addon

    I've been using it since the betas, it's pretty nice. I like how you can type in a phrase instead of an exact URL in the address bar and find what you're looking for. The new history is nice too.

    Full release is out? I thought the "release candidate" was out, not the full version?

    The full version is supposed to come out at the end of June according to the wiki

    Oops I always thought that test programs were called beta's.

    Hasn't this been a feature of all browsers (yes, even IE!!!) for ages now, or is there something about it that you're not telling us?

    I use Firefox. As of last night, it did not ask to be updated. So, me thinks, it is not ready to be used....

    I like Firefox except when I deal with Hotmail or msn groups...then it does not work.

    That always annoys me that MSN/Hotmail always default to IE is there anyway of stopping this happening?

    I am using the addon called Opera. It makes Firefox unnecessery...

    I'm still rocking the Opera too, now with a built in ad-blocker much like Ad-Block Plus for the Fox.

    i tried out the beta for a few days but its a real resource hog compared to 2.5. id rather have the basics work at the same speed as me than have lots of handy extras i have to wait around for. ill stick with what ive got, at least until i can afford a computer that isnt 6 years old.

    After a day of testing, Firefox 3 really flies. It uses a lot less memory and after a bit of tweaking - a lot more functional.

    (BTW, Before i updated i exported up my bookmarks, feeds and passwords and made a list of extensions)

    I have had FF3 for a month or so and despite it not being a fully release I don't think it hasn't crashed once. Where as FF2 would crash on me often. I think they have done a good job with this one.

    I wonder if they have that for the iPhone Safari too?
