I think it's great! Significantly faster than before. Just too bad some of my favorite add-ons don't work on it. I really miss tab mix plus.

I should have checked this out first https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/compatibility#

Posting this with 3.5 right now!

In the short time we've known each other I can cheerfully say it responds and loads stuff waaaaay faster than 3.x.

Oh Gordon you're hilarious.

Thanks for that, seems to work fine now! Best extension ever, after AdBlock Plus of course. :)

Why is it that when I type "Will Smith" into the location bar (aka address bar) Firefox3.5 takes me directly to the Will Smith Wikipedia page, but when I type "George Clooney" into the location bar it takes me to a the google search results for George Clooney. I just want to do a google search all the time like chrome does.

I don't really like Will Smith, but that George Clooney is still dead sexy.

Definitely faster - much faster starting than 3 and quicker loading and rendering pages.

Wait for 4.0 I only use it for testing now, I find with firefox 3.sumfin bloat addons that I can grow a beard and sometimes it's pushing the windows 7 boot up. Why this is I don't know and I don't care unless Mozilla want to hire me i'm not in business of benchmarking and clock watching. I'm still very happy with IE8 if it could morph with Opera that could be my browser for life. End of the day it's only a browser and they have after many releases become more stable.

@MGDdrinker: Not really Firefox's fault, this depends on how high a page sits on Google's ranking system. Google thinks that Will Smith's Wikipedia page is by far his most visited page, so Firefox takes you straight there. However, George Clooney doesn't have any single page that's more frequently visited than any other, so Firefox takes you to Google's search results.

Clever stuff, but if you want Firefox to always return Google's search results, use the search box. It's only a few inches to the right...

@Chris ~ Thanks for the response. I know the search box in Firefox is sitting right there but Chrome's use of the single box for everything is so much more elegant.

@MGDdrinker - Actually, I think so too. In fact, I reckon that Google have almost nailed the address bar, but I prefer the more graphical, two-lines-per-item way that Firefox displays drop-down results in the address bar.
