Aha - nice find with the Greasemonkey
I find I get the odd visual defect with FF3 - sometimes the page and/or toolbars donâ€™t refresh properly. But it _is_ a lot faster, particularly (for me) opening the download window, which used to take _ages_ and hang the rest of Firefox.

Ya, I gave up on Firefox during 2 not because of the memory bleeds but because it had become so prone to crashing even after a fresh instal with no plugins. So I switch to Opera which I am pretty happy with although it is less compatible.

Sounds like good news about 3. The only new feature that really excites me is that it is supposed to be color aware which is become the big pink elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about with wdie gamut monitors. Honestly though until IE adopts a similar solution or it coloraware gets added to Windows the impact web content will be a blip.

Any word on how long before it leave beta?

I’ve been using and it is miles better than 2 but I keep getting this strange bug where you can’t enter text in the address bar, the search bar or any text fields on a website.

I have to open a new window to fix it. Also, the ‘Do you want Firefox to remember this password’ thing doesn’t work.
