Well, I don’t like how they might want to remove the favicon. I think it is part of the web pages identity and should be visible.
Still, can’t wait for the release!

I’m a bit put off by all the added ‘features’ in FF3, and already in FF2. Sure, it’s nothing over the top, but I really don’t think we need most of these when the FF community already offers extensions for most of these.

I would like to hear more about work being done on the page rendering engine and fixing bugs such as the memory leak. (Which has sadly seemed to return in FF2)

As long as we’re talking about features, though, the ability to combine multiple tabs into different frames on a new page would be nice under certain circumstances.

Looks interesting, but a lot of the new features can already be accessed through extensions. The Mozilla ones will probably be better, though.

i love to use firefox, as its the underdog, but why is firefox in bed with google (with a bit of yahoo on the side). i feel that firefox favours google (i.e. the start up page on first-boot and the large numbers of extensions that are googlised).

i know google is good at what it does, but i hear ask-.-com is innovating a new “3d” display for the results (3d is a term for the three columns for web-blog-other results hits.

i would like to see extensions that allow other search engine “options”…. or maybe im not looking in the right places.
