On what grounds has he based that?  Seems like just a personal opinion to me.  OK, so he was right about SP3, but as that was Microsoft, he was onto pretty good odds that it would screw up.  I wouldn't take much notice of this guy.

I tried it out, but went back to FF2 just because about half of my addons weren't available on FF3. I'll upgrade in a couple of months when most of the extension developers have had a chance to catchup.

I liked the FF2 gui much more than the FF3. One of the first things i did when i tried FF3 was add a theme.

This guy is best ignored I think.

Ive been running Firefox 3 RC3 for a few days, and now updated to the released version, and find it superb. Its faster than any Browser Ive ever used, and the new password saver is a lot better, allowing you to make sure your password is correct before saving. Its not crashed once (touch wood).

I'm quite happy with vee-two-point-little-bit at the moment so (following the maxim, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" :) ) I've decided to wait until vee-three-point-nothing has been bedded in by others.  Let them get all hot and bothered sorting it out for me :) !
