I finally gave into the need of upgrading my systems' browsers to the latest Firefox. i was able to get all the necessary plugins, which was my primary reason for not upgrading during the Beta and first stable release. However, the need for improved performance was the priority here.
I have to say that it's nice being able to blaze through pages again. 2 was terrible in terms of performance, making IE feel faster. Kinda scary thought considering that the whole point of Firefox was to have a less bloated browser.
Also, my Firefox was a bit flaky on my linux systems. Sometimes I had to load the application a few times. And even the browser wouldn't die properly after a simple shutdown.
I'm still debating whether I like the new interface. There's some plus sides to the look, but it feels a bit blocky. Not as smooth as I would like it.
On the bright side, I was encouraged to try a few new plugins today. Got Clipmarks, StumbleUpon and another. These look quite good. I'll wait on adding more since my browser has a great deal of plugins already loaded.
