#31 | So far FF3 seems to be working fine, the major extensions (adblock plus and no script for me) work fine with it. Only legit complaint I have is Windows Live Hotmail won't load properly, it forces the classic version to load (a known bug that has no fix at the moment)
Minor complaint, the XP "look" for it is butt ugly. No big deal though as there is already a theme that gives it the vista look and my fave themes have already been updated as well.

One other issue I have with FF3, that I also have with Opera 9.5, is the Netflix "Friends" feature doesn't work. The "Friends" page where you can see the movies your friends have watched and that they have in their queue doesn't fully work. The thumbnails don't appear. I'm guessing this is a Netflix browser "sniffing" issue as well since both FF3 and Opera 9.5 exhibit the same behavior.

I only have it on mine at the moment, and I use my Verizon mail through Thunderbird exclusively.
My mother uses her Verizon account through Thunderbird and a Hotmail account through Firefox on another computer that still has FF2 on it. I'll have to ask her if she uses classic or the new version before I install it.

#38 | If you don't want to wait that plugins get updated, you can always try Nightly Tester Tools
Worked nicely with all my "non-compatible" plugins.
It should make plugins compatible with version 3 (for most them it's enough to edit maximum version greater than 3).
However, there might be some problems (even serious ones) so if plugin doesn't work properly after you've ran Nightly Tester Tools, then you have to uninstall and re-install it.
I also would not suggest using this for themes because the tabs won't work right. But for addons this works very well for me so far.

#42 | FF3 now auto-hides the address/tab bars when you go fullscreen (F-11).
To show the bars, you have to mouseover a narrow grey band at the very top of the screen. If your cursor goes all the way to the top of the screen, however, it won't register and you'll have to edge the cursor back slightly. I think maybe the grey bar cuts off just before the screen's upper border, and probably at a difference of a quarter of a pixel. That's what it seems like from the way it behaves, but I'm not sure if I'm describing it correctly. If you're reading these words, you probably are using Firefox, why not press F-11 and see for yourself.
It shouldn't be a problem for most people if they move the mouse slowly enough, but it may be confusing at first, or annoying if you mouse hastily.
On the whole, the fullscreen looks great.

Hypothetically speaking, at this point.
FWIW I had 2.0.0.14 prior to the release of 3.

Switching gears, I never really used the zoom feature for webpages, but I've started to get into it, and I must say, I don't dislike it.
