Just installed the minefield pre-release. The interface is VERY slick, and they were nice enough to name the app something other than Firefox (MineField) so that you can just close it and open up your old version if needed. So you aren't locked into the upgrade to the beta
To enable "disabled" plugins in Minefield (Firefox 3.0b), install a the plugin "Nightly Tester Tools." Afterwards, go to your AddOn tab and click on Extensions, then click on the "Make all compatible" button on the bottom right-hand corner. Also, click on the Preferences button on the Nightly Tester Tool addon, then select "Add-ons", then disable add-on compatibility checking. Restart Firefox and enjoy.
I used to stick with Firefox because of firebug, but the new Web inspector is just as good (not the black HUD thingy — that's ugly as sin). So I stick with OmniWeb. That one even uses more recent versions of WebKit than the official Safari.
@falafeln: Safari has had tabbed browsing for a long time now, it was just turned off by default until version 3. It's always good to just explore an app's preferences and menus, rather than just sticking with the defaults.
first of all: safari 3.0 BETA has tabbed browsing, not 2.0
the biggest objection I have against firefox is that it becomes slow and uses much memory when I've used it all day, but it's the only browser because it has plugins like Firebug that is needed for a developer
You can go directly to a tag by searching for 'tag:yourtag'. You can also
search within the apps tagged with that word by adding another word. For
example 'tag:browser plugin'.
Opinions:
I can't resist posting a tips about this superior Firefox skin (working fine in Firefox 3.0b5+):

"first of all: safari 3.0 BETA has tabbed browsing, not 2.0"
Uh, Safari has supported tabs since the 0.9 Public Beta back in 2003.

You're probably thinking of draggable/rearrangeable tabs, which did first make their appearance with the 3.0 Public Beta.
