Well I gave Firefox 3.0 a good run but decided to stay with Firefox 2.o for now. Some of the reasons for this include:
- Stability FF3.0 is the first browser since Netscape Communicator to crash on my machine daily.
- Compatibility FF3.0 just doesn't log into GMail as easily or remember my password for as long. Inevitable a god number of add-in broke. GMail kept having AJAX issues which went away when I downgraded.

You should check out the free support Mozilla offers at Support.Mozilla.com. Also, the gmail crashing is usually caused by the broken Skype extension, do you have Skype installed?
no i dont have skype or any skype add-in but the problem is more with my gmail notifier add-ins which seem to screw up the gmail log in on FF3 (they forget my username/password or something). Thats a minor hassle which i could live with but the crashing I've been getting on FF3 seems unrelated to the sites Ive been using (though they may be caused by the AJAX in them). I havent seen enough thats compelling in the new version to make it worth put ting up with the irritations. I guess if it didn't crash daily on my XP box I'd probably would have stayed with it. I'll keep checking on it from time to time.
