anyone try it yet?
what do you think?
i think i'm going to install it tomorrow. i've heard some good things about it.

I'd like it more if they'd retain the functionality of the old address bar. I haven't seen a way to turn it's stupid "URL search" thing off, and that's turned me off from using it so far.

Seriously. I like being able to type the first three letters of a site I frequent, pressing down once, and hitting enter. Their new address bar makes that impossible.

I use it sometimes, I like it. None of the memory issues that I had with 2, but my extensions don't work for it yet.

i like it, i haven't tried the newfangled version 5 yet, but i will be once i close this window and install it

edit: well that was unexpectedly quick

its shiny and they dropped the red close buttons on the tabs, thats what i've noticed in the 30 seconds i've had it open

My extensions don't work.

I'm not a big fan of the new address bar thing...it's using a bit less memory, but I have more RAM than Windows can use, so it's rather irrelevant..

There's an extension to revert back to the old address bar.

There's also an extension to force all your old extensions to work. Assuming they aren't using any extension API that has changed, it should work fine.

I really like the address bar. It's helped me find a site, even if I didnt know the URL. Also, if you frequent the site phoenix you CAN hit the first three letters and most likely get the site you're thinking of. I think its more handy than anything

I installed and then uninstalled it as soon as I figured out I couldn't put the tab bar at the bottom.

.

I find the hugeness of the address bar, apart from that its fine because I don't think I have any extensions apart from longtitles.

Less memory usage is fun though.

Only other thing I properly don't like is the back/forward buttons.

I'm going to get it once it goes live and my minimalist theme is released, and I can certainly have all of my plugins. These things might have already happened, but I haven't had time to check.

Themes generally aren't there yet, but most all extensions either have dev builds with ff3 support, or can work with "check compatibility" turned off.

It's definitely an upgrade, and I highly recommend everyone pick it up if you have had reservations. Yes, it's a beta, but it's barely a beta. I've had LESS problems with FF3 than I have had with FF2, and it's so much faster. A+++ WOULD INSTALL AGAIN

As Emon said, there's an extension, "oldbar", for the old Firefox 2 bar look and feel. It still uses the new Firefox 3 algorithm for populating the list though. Which as far as I'm concerned is a good thing. I like the new AwesomeBar too.

Most of my extensions work, and I have many. I used to keep the number down in Firefox 2 because they would slow Firefox down immensely, but with Firefox 3 I had to pile many many on to notice a start up speed slowdown and overall speed is still acceptably speedy, which is nice.

this **** right here what the hell is the thing trying to do and why is it annoying and how do i switch it off

Tab Mix Plus?
might need to look around for the dev build for beta 5
