If you volunteered testing firefox-3.0 preview packages you will be asked which profile you want to use in future …

The new addons management rocks and you can install ubuntu packages by selecting the right top link “Get Ubuntu Extensions” ...

Btw, firefox 3 beta 3 now has a native gtk print dialog …

The preferences dialog has a polished look as well …

... and some users will definitly be happy that the ability to add certificate exceptions is available again …

Last but not least firefox 3 is still beta and thus not perfect (yet). Read the Release Notes for more details on the glitches in this release.

Enjoy!!

Seems like Firefox3 is a huge step in the right direction. I can’t wait for it to get out of beta and into wide release

Don’t forget to re-link your plugins from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins to /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins. Flash, Java, mplayer, and ooo plugins show up again in about:plugins. Note, I haven’t tested them all yet (hoping FF3 would sort of check like it does extensions!).

Also, can’t seem to get FF3 to start in online mode each time I start. Any ideas?

Damn they re-screwedup that certificate exception adding thing. Browsers simply should not connect to sites with inherently broken certificates, it is not safe. Period.

I hope it at least requires some 5+ "are you REALLY sure?" dialogs.
