I've fixed mine now.
My main problem was that even if I loaded it in safe mode, it would still freeze, and i could not get access to the add ons section; to overcome this problem, I stumbled upon the idea of opening Firefox without the ethernet cable plugged in - i can only imagine this worked because it wasn't trying to load a web page up (incidently th ...[text shortened]... ou have a similar problem, try doing the same thing i did, and let me know if it worked.

I've had FF3 for a couple of weeks and apart from the cool things, the major difference for me is in its memory usage. It's way, way better. They say they've fixed the download manager but they haven't, so stick with a 3rd party download manager. I use DAP.
There's an Easter Egg too. Enter about:robots in the address field. Obviously some fans of Douglas Adams.

It's my understand that you can simply click the scroll button on a mouse, on the 'home' icon, or such, and it would quickly open a new tab.
Add ons, (which work with firefox 3):
Download statusbar
Greasemonkey
Image zoom
Resizable textarea
Searchbar autosizer
Seemingingly non-working but still cool add ons:
TinyUrl creator
Linkification
(damn, I hope they update these)
Mouse gestures
Fasterfox
Adblock plus

Hmm, I checked out pipes pretty quickly, a few months ago.
It works cool? How do you use it exactly?
You find a few RSS feeds, XML feeds and webpages that contain info you want, chuck them all through a series of filters to sort and extract the data you're after and then output it as an XML feed.
Personally, I use it (and a bit of PHP) to create self-updating news feeds for sites.

I'm using Firefox 3 since beta 2. It's fine but I have just one problem: Using Greasemonkey and RHP Check Mate it's not possible to submit a move! I just can't press the button, neither with the mouse nor with the keyboard. Disabling Greasemonkey and immediately everything is ok.
Does anybody see this problem?
A little information I might put in: I'm using a real OS (Linux)!

I just quickly switch with IE View and make my move.
