I've seen superlative after superlative concerning
the release of Firefox 3.0, and in all honesty, it is making my stomach ache. Yes, Firefox 3.0 is a great release. It has a slicker interface (the UI on Vista looks quite pretty) and the use of native widgets in Linux is a very, very welcome addition. On top of that, it actually delivers what I was craving for the most from my favourite Windows web browser: much improved performance. But does Firefox 3.0 change the web, or alter the way we use the intertubes?

I'm going to have to disagree with this.
My experience is with OpenSolaris on a 650Mhz UltraSparc IIe laptop with 1GB of RAM. FF3 is slower to start, slower to render and much more sluggish to use than FF2. FF3 is actually pretty painful and frustrating. I uninstalled it 15 minutes after first loading it up and went back to FF2.
