Firefox 3 Beta Available!

I just read in the New York Times technology section that the Beta for Firefox 3 (Minefield) is now available. Being too curious, I had to give it a try.

It doesn't work with most of my plugins yet (although I did manage to load Adblock Plus!). The first big problem I found was editing this post. The Javascript editor for Blogger did not respond particularly well, so I am finishing this up with Firefox 2. And, so far, I have not noticed any killer features I can't live without.

Even so, I still plan to use Firefox 3 for most of my casual browsing. The reason I plan to stay with it is speed. Except for Opera, this is the fastest browser I have seen. Mozilla also claims that it has fixed 300 memory leaks.
