Installed and running on main computer. So far looks good. I really like the fact that all my plug-ins appear to be working too.

Installed it, used it for 5 mins, uninstalled it, went back to 2.0.0.14. Can't run Greasemonkey, so none of my  scripts work, it won't run Noscript, so I lose that protection, it "found" an old set of bookmarks from about 6 months ago, I could go on... I'll wait for the final release and then a bit longer, till all my addons are fixed.

Dias do you have MR Tech Local Install ? ?
This allows most extensions to run fine after updates are released...

I meant the Browser updates...
If you install it and use it to re-install the non-updated extensions you will find that most of them will run fine on newer FireFox builds...

It's too bad the update in RC2 doesn't detect and update it to RC3. In any case I've downloaded this and plan on trying later tonight.

I have bitten the bullet and gone over to version 3.0 RC3. I am very pleased that I did. One thing that seems to have gone away, thank God! is that well known awful bug where, without warning, you suddenly could not navigate in web pages or within text input dialogs (like the one I am typing in right now) using the Home/End/Page Up/Page Down or arrow keys. Or highlight text with the mouse. The cure was to empty the browser cache. Also it loads a lot faster. I had a peeve which was that RC2 said that none of my addons were compatible. Well, I took a hard look at them and uninstalled all except about 4, and these ones seemed to be updated by the time RC3 came out. I even found a beta of Greasemonkey from June 08 that works too, so I am happy. Next Tuesday I will be downloading the release version.
