I’ve been using FF3 and FF2 in parallel for the last month, and FF3 has some cool features that definitely make life better. The most noticeable so far is the new address-bar, which has finally been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Until now, it was still using the very very basic (and > 15 years old) system of when you start typing a URL, a plain list of potential textual matches comes up with rather arbitrary sorting AND only matching if the URL starts with IDENTICAL letters as you’ve typed.
NB: this post is mainly to give a kick up the ass to those of you who “haven’t noticed” yet that Firefox 3 is available and that it kicks ass, and that you should switch to using it ASAP ;).
e.g. if you type “t-mac” into the address bar, http://t-machine.org would show up in the list of potential matches, but http://server.t-machine.org would not. Argh!
