Comment and replies on Firefox:
I love using Firefox at work on Windows machines, but it's not used as often on my macs. I tend to run Camino and Flock much more frequently. My wife swears by it though...

is there an easy way to enable disabled addons on fx3?
I would use Firefox on my Mac IF it was as fast or faster than Safari. Unfortunately it isn't and takes a long time to start up.
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.

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
I can't resist posting a tips about this superior Firefox skin (working fine in Firefox 3.0b5+):

Firefox is slower than Camino. Use Camino is it 10 times faster than firefox and doesn't take long time starting up.
Enjoy!!
Firefox is amazing. Safari is cool, but the power of Add-ons gives Firefox the edge over all other browsers. Plus, you can use it on almost any OS. Very useful when running 3.
Firefox is in fact my favourite browser because of the add-ons, but it crashes all the time. So for the most part use Safari and Opera.
Only thing keeping me away from using this as my main browser, is the ages it takes to start the app.
+1 on that grapple theme, works with the new release candidate also!
Great for web development and gimmicks, but for day-to-day browsing Safari is faster and integrates with the Apple Keychain.
Firefox 3 is an entirely different beast from Firefox 2 on OS X. By that, I mean its actually a usable browser. Not only is it usable, but it works great. I use it more than I do Safari.
I LOVE Firefox 3!! I was nervous about upgrading (why mess up something that's already perfect?) but it's definitely better than 2.0. It makes me want to surf the internet more! A couple particular things I love: that it asks if you want to save a password in a way that allows you to choose to save it only after you have seen that it WORKED. The fact that it has smart bookmark folders. The new address bar that shows me what address I might be typing with so much more than just the URL. Oh, and I seem to be one of the very few, but I LOVE the way it looks, no theme needed! (Except Styles to add favicons to the bookmark toolbar). LOVE IT!
For those looking for an extension that allows to drag a file into the attachment/upload box itself (eg: in gmail), there's dragdropupload.
Also works for multiple files, and: in Gmail only, you can also drag files onto the "Attach a file" link itself,
and they will be entered into the attachment boxes.
More info here.
I really like Firefox 3.
That said, I think it lacks some of the the neat integration that most OS X apps have. Makes a good backup browser for sure.
