    Well so far FF3 is a blast for me It's running much faster and while i'm not a fan of the awesomebar i'm sure it'll have an option to be disabled sooner then later.

    BTW stumbleupon still works for me.

      So, I don't understand, what is the big fuss over the awesome bar? I have not downloaded yet and probably won't until at least tomorrow until I figure out what the big deal about the awesome bar is.

        Awesomebar doesn't really bother me.
        I mean you can hide it anyway.
        Ooops! Wrong bar-talking about the address bar? I'm still trying to figure out what it does.

          I installed the oldbar plug-in

          Now I'm happy, I just didn't like the awesome bar. Best of both worlds

              Any real benefit to upgrading to 2.0 or even 3.0?
              just depends on how much of a browsing geek you are I guess. I'm perfectly fine with the extensions that I have now, and even though Firefox always takes up to like 250 MB of memory on my pc, it runs fine.

              I'm even cool with IE when at work. It has the same tabbed browsing and takes less memory.

                  When you start typing a url, the awesomebar will list out similar matches to what you're typing. The list can sometimes obscure your screen which is why it annoys people.

                      oh ok, can you set it to show like only the last 3 most recent results? or does it show like a boatload of them and there's nothing you can do?

                          It shows 12 by default (shows 6 max, with a scroll bar if there's more; up to 12), but you can change the amount this way:

                          Adjust the Smart Location Bar's Number of Suggestions


                          The Firefox 3 feature that you'll get to know and love the most is the new smart location bar's as-you-type suggestions that learn where you probably want to go as you browse. But if you're feeling like the number of suggestions is too high or too low? Adjust it to your liking in Firefox's configuration area. Here's how.
                          1. Enter <code>about:config</code> into the address bar and hit Enter.
                          2. Press the "I''ll be carefull. I promise!" button. (Because you will be.)
                          3. Enter <code>browser.urlbar.maxRichResults</code> in the Filter field to reach this preference.
                          4. Set it to your desired number of suggestions. Three shown here.

                            Been using FF3 for a while now today and I'm loving it. Much quicker than FF2. Thank you Mozilla.

                                This might void your warranty! I'll be careful, I promise
                                That's awesome.
