Those are some pretty handy features I must say. I like the Add-On search and Install feature.

I wasn't thrilled about the new address bar when i was checking out the Beta, but after I saw the "Search through History" stuff, I think it might be more useful.

Said that it was coming out in June. It will probably August before it is available in the Debian repos

thanks for sharing.

Later,

I like the new Add-on thing and the tagging, though I'd probably never go through the hassle of tagging things.
The rest is meh or déjà vu years ago : e.g. search in the downloads, search in limited to the title & url ( & now tags ) of the pages, ...

It should be out pretty soon, since the RC2 was available a few days ago.

Some really great GUI fixes. Much faster, like pre-version-2. I'm pretty disappointed there were only like three CSS things added, and not a single selector (have heard 3.1 is going to have some more... guess they couldn't wait), but meh ? display: inline-block; is nice, and so is white-space: pre-wrap;. Loading tabs no longer steal focus on my box, which is like returning to heaven after how painful it was.

IIRC animated Gifs favicons worked circa FF 1.0

Great link. Just downloaded FF3 and am playing around with it. At the moment, in fact, I'm trying to find a nice theme, since my old themes aren't compatible.

looks like some javascript trickery to me

AreFox 3.0? I'll have to check it out.

Out of curiosity, is there any way to sort add-ons/themes by version? I'm getting a bit tired of clicking through only to see a message saying that said add-on/theme is for an earlier version of FF.

It's worse than that - the stupid site disables the link entirely if the maxversion is lower than the browser you're using...even if all you have to do to get it working is download it, unzip, edit maxversion from 3.0pre3 to 3.0, rezip and open.

So, opening Firefox 2 to download an extension so I can edit it and install it in Firefox 3.

...and "experimental" addons are hidden?

Stab stab.

You can download it using firefox3 by using the link on the page that says 'see all versions' which includes the latest version.

To download experimental addons it said you have to logon.

Before clicking the link for the addon's details, you should see an icon grayed out if its not for 3.
