FireFox3 or FireFox2?

FF3 has a much slower start-up time (I haven't implement the fix yet) but does seem to run faster once loaded.

But- it has shut down on me on more than one occasion, whereas FF2 very rarely did.

And, I did not like the 'awesome' address bar, and resorted to the 'oldbar' fix. I don't like things like that- just let me type what I want and go to it.

Plus- the status line does not change (though I have it set in the options to allow for this) under FF3. I searched for a fix briefly after discovering this one thing since my menus use it as an additional 'help' line. FF2 and even IE do this properly....

I have problems with connection in it, when i start, i have to manually go in and change the settings for NON proxy, it does not save it eather so everytime i start FF3, i get "proxy settings could not be found" and i have to manually go in and change from proxy to direct connect instead.
Very annoying

It does crash more often, especially on long html pages, 2-3 ajax filled-to-the-brim pages or me moving too fast lmao. And oldbar I installed the same day I updated :)

Seems it still have some clunks to be ironed out, like any other new version. but atm it doesn't present any benefits over FF2 really.

It didn't save all my toolbar bookmarks either like it use to .. it ask my again today to update to FF3 I clicked [never] button until they make some improvements -- FF2 is my baby! :P

foxmarks = coolest bookmark add-on. Keeps your bookmarks saved on a server. You can then load them to any computer if you install foxmarks. Haven't had any crashing on my computer what so ever. I'll stick with it if it continues to work. :)

For anyone wishing to do a rollback to FF2 here's a how-to that works well... saves most of your data/settings/whatever.
