Firefox 3

So firefox 3 still not the final, only RC1 but there were many changes starting from the first alpha and continued to beta 5.

I used beta 5 till i found out that Opera 9.5 is much faster and more usable, so I have switched to Opera for alternative browser.

And then came RC 1…

First impressions: I remeber that FF opens very slowly, in other words I can make a tea while it starting.

It took about 2 seconds to start the FF 3RC1 . WOW!

Opera has the great caching for backwards and forwards navigation, now FF has this too !

The new add-in manager is nice too.

I still cannot do all things what I can do in Maxthon, but the developers are on the right way.

As it goes with all FF versions, still there are memory leaks and some strange CPU consuming :)

There is some hope to fix minor bugs in the final version and some plugins for the better surfing.

The only one advantage that Maxthon holds is the support for IE, FF does not provide implementation for IE interfaces, so I must still have IE installed on my computer, and then I have a good FF and still have IE even if I do not want to use it.

Too bad for the regular users.
