I've tested a few alpha builds. They're quite usable, but it's tough to find extensions/themes that support them.

I'm running the alpha. Seems to be a different browser than Firefox 2.0 so they are both working.

What do you think of it so far, Joker? One complaint I've been hearing about FF is that it's getting "heavy", which I think refers to it's slow start-up times. I will wait until all my add-ons are 3.0 compatible before downlaoding the final version.

There's no such thing as a "light" browser that has features worthwhile.

I don't know what all the bitching about FF and bloat is...it always starts quickly for me.

I'm not bitching. FF 2 starts pretty quickly for me too.

I didn't mean to suggest that you were. It's just that in general a lot of people complain about that with Firefox.

The "memory leak" is the other one. There is no memory leak in FF. If you view a LOT of pages with a LOT of content you use RAM to store it in case you use the Back button.

I agree, I might try a Beta, but never an Alpha.
