I like it a lot so far. It seems faster, the new download bar is better, browser bar is better, and some cool new buttons. Definitely improving from Firefox 2.

The latest testing version of Firefox 3 (Firefox 3 Release Candidate 2) has just come out for use. Check it out!

Ew, all of my skins don't work with this new version. I hope it does not have anything wrong with it. >_>
None.
that's simply because the compatibility has not been updated in your skins yet.
None.
I like how if and when you remove the Bookmark tool bar it looks similar to Internet Explorer 7... <_<
Yeah, it also created this for me to. I can't delete them either.
I also like the minor modification when you click and hold on a link, the box that surrounds the button you just depressed turns that color, for the most part. EX: Depressing on ones colored name, mine for instance, would create a dotted green rectangular box around my name.

Yeah and if you drag your name you can move it all around LOL

I love how when you type something in to the address bar it finds a match by each letter. Try it! ^_^

Aw shoot, all my nice plug-ins have been fried. Hopefully they're all updated soon.
Firefox rocks your socks. Firefox rocks your socks. Firefox rocks your socks. Firefox rocks your socks. Firefox rocks your socks.
The new browser skin isn't spectacular, but it's nice to see new stuff.

I think it's pretty much the same as Firefox 2 except much faster on older hardware. I'll stick with Opera 9.5.

I've seen that graph before. And you know what? When I've got 2GB of memory, I could care less if I save 50MB. I only really have two programs up when browsing the internet, and they don't even use 50% of my memory. So what do I care if it could start up in a second less? It's already plenty fast enough.

I just downloaded the latest Opera beta and did a test on both browsers. While Opera scores more than Firefox (78/100 compared to Firefox's 71/100) they both fail to pass the test. This may be a huge improvement over Opera 9.27 where the browser actually crashes half the time and gets 46 when it doesn't but its still barely better than Firefox.
I used Firefox 3 release candidate 2 build 2008052903 and Opera 9.5 b2 build 9945.

Now that thats out of the way, what are the features found in Opera that aren't present in Firefox or an addon for Firefox?
None.
Opera did it with an internal build. I don't think they released it.

To make up for that - when you highlight and drag text (or images) they follow. =)

For example, if I want to search wikipedia, I just hit control t, and type in "wiki ____", where wiki can be replaced with whatever you want. Google, I just do Control+T, and then type "g ____". No mouse required at all. I don't know how firefox works, but I don't it doesn't come like that as default. As far as I know, Opera also wins in security, but that could be different now. I would say that the Browsers are really about equal for general browsing though. Firefox wins in extensions, I'd say.
Either way, I have used both plenty and prefer Opera. It has given me a better browsing experience, so much to the point that it'd be my choice almost every time. It comes with it's drawbacks though. It does crash a good amount, especially when I open up gmail
None.
If you open a tab in Firefox and type anything in the box it will do a google search and if the results are relevant enough it will take you a site for it. If its not relevant enough it will take you to the google search of it.
Example: Starcraft shows you a google search of Starcraft. Starcraft wiki shows you the Starcraft wiki at Wikia. Wiki Starcraft shows you the Wikipedia article for Starcraft. Ebay Starcraft shows an Ebay search for Starcraft Battle Chest (probably the most common Starcraft thing searched for).
It doesn't give you as much freedom as Opera but it functions just as well.

Custom panels and links on those panels is the biggest feature I use. I like to get rid of buttons that don't do anything, like home, and why do you need a stop button AND a refresh button at the same time..? I also like to link to all the sites I use commonly there, simply by dragging and dropping from the URL bar.
Quick search is also a big one. Right click any form, and click create search. Now, just by typing one word (or letter), you can run a search on any site, anywhere. I've got one set up for countless sites that I often use.
I don't know why, but in Firefox, tabs always open in the background, and there's no way to create a new tab without first going into the menus.
Speed Dial (gives you several links within a new tab) and Opera Link (allows you to use the same favourites and settings across multiple machines) are useful, ingenious features.

Sometimes, it's faster than firefox 2, but at other times (ie. facebook), it seems to be slower than firefox 2 on my comp.
