"The fifth public alpha build of Firefox 3 has been officially released. The new alpha build, which is codenamed Gran Paradiso, features early components of the revamped Places system, a cohesive storage framework that will unify bookmark and history storage. An earlier prototype of the Places system was tested in early Firefox 2 alpha (Bon Echo) builds but was removed because it couldn't be completed within the Firefox 2 release timeframe."

Well, the bookmarks system has been broken long before Mozilla 1.0 arrived. There is a recursion bug which raises its ugly head from time to time when they try to speed up the current JavaScript-enabled system. It happened in a recent BonEcho beta again. I don't see much in Places at this moment but it seems to be working better than in version 2, alpha 1. They've had some time to work out the kinks.
The change to the rendering and widgets is quite good and all those sites that look okay but not quite right will finally look as intended. Having native widgets will be a plus for many people. I can say that the whole browser, as of alpha 5 is quite good and, even though buggy, is good enough that I would consider dropping version 2.0.x, if my addons worked.
