Firefox 3



Today is the firefox 3 downloading day, and the mozilla guys are trying to reach a "record"! Congrats to the firefox team, and they really made a good job in delivering the world's best browser.

I've changed my default browser from safari to FF3. A few notes:

  1. The mac theme plugin is updated, see GrApple Yummy from Aronnax.
  2. The general keyboard and mouse shortcut are here. Well, I need to change my safari habits now, until they release the "New Safari with Squirrels" in Snow Leopard... or maybe FF4 is coming out then.
  3. It is very easy to set up keyboard shortcuts to your favorite sites, which is actually better than the command+number shortcut in Safari, or this FF plugin. Even better, now the keyboard shortcut sets Cmd+Number to switch between tabs!
  4. If you want "in-browser" pdf viewing support, as in safari, check this plugin from google codes in FF3.
  5. It seems snappier and use less memory than safari!

A neat add-on: Fission, if you like Safari like "progress bar" to indicate the loading progress using blue background bars in the address location.

Also, Foxmarks, great plugin for keeping your firefox bookmarks sync on all your computers!
