I just switched my default browser to Firefox Beta 5 from WebKit nightly. I’ve already used the previous 2 betas and was pretty impressed by it’s speed, the new location bar and the new password saving mechanism. So I give it a try as my default browser.

My must-have plugins, which currently make FF3 win over Safari3 are:

Though there are some interface issues, none of them is currently a blocker for me.

Infidel!

Now everytime you complain about something, I will tell you it’s because you use FireFox! :-P

Nice blog!

When I work with firefox 3b5 and firebug, it crashes every 2 seconds. Outside of that, it’s still a development MUST to use firebug. I just got really really quick at hitting the ‘restart firefox’ button ;)

Right, it crashes quite often. I hope they fix this in the next time… Luckily Firefox can reopen the tabs after a crash :)

Now, the beta 5 seems to be very buggy.
I’m now on the nightly builds and they seem to be pretty stable. Had no single crash since switching to the nightlies.
