Hot. Thanks for the heads up!

I love it, but I get really awful scrolling speed (Like scrolling through treacle) on a site I frequent. Anyone else had that issue? Seems to work fine everywhere else.

PS: It worked fine in FF2 :(

[Piggy]

Has anyone tried playing an embedded WMV / Windows media player content in it?

[Phantom Limb]

I'm not having it.

I will say, ugh, I'm still not a fan of the theme. Need to pick up a new one. I'm unsure if FF2 themes work with FF3.

Same. I didn't even have to reinstall the plug ins.

Seems to eat up more memory, though. :(

Just downloaded and installed it. So far I really like it. Let's see how it holds up over the next couple of days.

I'm going to have to hold up for a while, there is something about my site that it doesn't like :p

Wicked, thank you for this, downloading now :)

[Phantom Limb]

Is the different system themes in effect? If so, can I use the vista icon set with XP? It'd look killer with Royale Vista 2.

[Ferret]

The actual Firefox 3.0 RC1 will no doubt be on the Mozilla website later today or tomorrow. It is already at Majorgeeks.

[SMELTN]

how do you get your current extensions like say Stylish to work with RC1? Gmail notifer and <snipped> work great.

[Randolph]

When is this scheduled to go like "gold status" ? June/July?

Using it now and it works fantastic. I'm loving it!

I loved how they made special webpages for beta 3 and 4, too bad they don't do it anymore.

According to Mozilla in June if there are no major bugs with RC1.
