I used Firefox 3. For 2 hours. Then I went back to FF 2, where I have been happy ever since. Some of the changes they dished out in FF3 are truly pointless and arbitrary. Half of my plugins died in the FF3 universe, and the look and feel of the browser was awful. They worked hard to get people on board the FF caravan, then say "the hell with what you're used to, use this instead." There's a reason I'm running Vista (which I've never had a single problem with BTW) in "Windows Classic" mode... if it ain't broke (too much), don't fix it.

I must respectfully disagree with your decision to run Vista in classic mode. It gives you pretty much the same functionality, except it looks like Windows 98. The sidebar isn't transparent and looks tacked on and the start menu still has the search capabilities but it looks so bland. Maybe you like it for higher contrast, but I know it makes me cringe to look at it.

As for FireFox 3, I like the new "awesome bar" and I've only had one extension (Auto Copy) break on me that hasn't been updated yet.
