Default Firefox 3

Rumour has it that Firefox3 will be released shortly.

Have any of you ben using the release candidates or betas?

I tried out the alpha version a LONG time ago, then I upgraded to a beta not long ago. There were a few niggling bugs, such as my back button dissappearing randomly, but I haven't tried the latest release candidate which I hope fixes that problem.

The CSS support has improved markedly, there is very little difference between the CSS rendering of Firefox3.0 and the most standards friendly browsers Opera and Safari.

I also notice that it doesn't crash as much due to excessive RAM usage. Although the beta version didn't support many plugins, so this may become a problem again if lots of plugins are installed - but I'm not sure.

All in all, a nice upgrade for the worlds most popular web browser.
