Firefox 3

I guess everyone knows, but if you don't, let me tell you. Firefox 3 is what's new right now. Its got an amazing 8 million plus downloads on day one!! I am proud to be one among them !! Lets cut to the point though. The pros and cons of Firefox 3 is probably what you are here for right now.

Pros of firefox 3:
1) They claim it is the fastest, safest, and most secure browser to date and I have no reason to contradict them. I've been using firefox for a long time and I have no reason to contradict them.

2) Greasemonkey works great as usual. You wouldn't find exactly what you want with any other browser. Give it a shot, and you'll stick to firefox for ever.

3) At last, download resume capability!!

4) Not that it matters, but its got a pretty good look and feel to it, I'd say !

Cons of firefox 3:
1) Pop-ups !! People have managed find ways of breaking past firefox's pop up blocker. Its possibly still better than IE but I expected more.

2) The save and quit option that shows up on quitting firefox doesn't show if you have the download window open when you close firefox.

That's it I guess ! Will add more as and when I figure it out.
Almost forgot, here's the download link:
