The browser is MUCH faster, especially with AJAX apps like Google Mail. Also, the memory footprint seems to be considerably smaller than 2.0 - I often would restart Firefox2 because it was using over 300 MB of RAM - FF3 seems to be using around 100 MB for the stuff I do.<BR/><BR/>I've been following Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox for about 12 years and based on the last couple of days I think this is the best web browser ever. I know that sounds fanboyish, but I really think it is.meowsqueakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559964541118532157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-75818198767248037422008-06-19T00:08:00.000+03:002008-06-19T00:08:00.000+03:00Strange.

Just click it again and hit "Remove Bookmark" in the pop-up. Not quite as simple as just re-clicking it, admittedly, but I guess they figured the functionality of editing a new bookmark to reclassify/tag it was more critical than the ability to remove it in a single click.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-49230880371039127042008-06-18T21:13:00.000+03:002008-06-18T21:13:00.000+03:00You can remove a bookmark by clicking the star aga...You can remove a bookmark by clicking the star again then pressing the button "Remove Bookmark" on the popup that appears.Greg Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653347780730520507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-41487108441095756992008-06-18T19:20:00.000+03:002008-06-18T19:20:00.000+03:00It seems faster to me, and I don't think it's just...It seems faster to me, and I don't think it's just wishful thinking. I run a mac though, and it might just be that they brought it up to a Windows level of speed (Firefox has always run faster on windows comps than on macs because it was originally written for a windows system). I guess that's one of the things they fixed this release; they've been talking about it for a while.<BR/><BR/>The "Awesome Bar" pissed me off for the first few hours, but try leaving it on for a day or two. I found that the suggestions improve. I personally like the idea of an address bar that searches page titles as well as addresses... guess I'll see how convenient that turns out to be in practice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-34646608608348099362008-06-18T18:10:00.000+03:002008-06-18T18:10:00.000+03:00They lost me by only supporting OS X versions from...They lost me by only supporting OS X versions from 10.4. - I'm happily (well, actually, increasingly unhappily) running 10.3.9.Mikkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417932766922859887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-77856327263395304342008-06-18T15:53:00.000+03:002008-06-18T15:53:00.000+03:00Thanks, sean.
