What's your view of FF 3.0?

Been running FF 3.0 Beta 4 for about 5 days now. All in all it's very nice though I don't care for everything. It seems a bit zippier than FF2 and the overall interface is nicer looking and slicker. The new OS specific icons are nice though the integrated back and forward buttons take getting used to. I love the new smart address bar, just type in a piece of anything you have bookmarked or been to before and boom there it is. I'll be using this instead of my bookmarks for many of my most visited sites. I don't care for the way bookmarked tabs are appended to the tabs already open instead of opening on top of the old ones. It sounds like a good idea but you quickly end up with too many tabs and usually when I open a group of tabs I don't care to keep the old ones open. Can't wait for more add-ons to get up to date with FF3 although many already are.

If this is in the wrong forum feel free to move it.
 
I bet there is current or will soon be a tab-management option or extension that will allow you to open bookmarks however you want them opened.
 
Not liking it at all. A bit quicker but nothing spectacular. I don't like the URL search thing either, it's just annoying. Tried Opera. Not much of a fan of it either.
 
I haven't used it yet, but hopefully it fixes memory leak and cpu usage issues. Those are really my only complaint about FF2.

That's exactly the thing I hate. I mean, I usually have people sitting near me, and watching what I do, and don't like them to know what bookmarks I've bookmarked.

I think I used Beta 4, and I couldn't find a option to turn it off, after a quick browse, so I just returned to 2.0.0.13 in the meantime.
 
Running b4 and today pages randomly stopped loading. They start to load for a couple of seconds then stop, with a blank page. The status bar says "Done".
