I’ve been on Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 Pre-release (a nightly build) for a couple of days now. Yes I like living on the edge ;-)
I thought it’ll go all ‘babak – firefox 3 sucks‘ on me but it’s been as stable as FF 3, i.e. zero issues on my system. All my extensions work fine as well (some were force-installed just like on v3). I can see some small speed improvements, mainly on pages with heavy javascript like gmail. The release notes show a few minor features were added which I’m not using so it’s mainly just snappier websites for me.
Newer Chrome, Firefox show speed improvements | Webware : Cool Web apps for everyone – CNET
Ah yes, forgot to mention to see the real speed improvements turn on TraceMonkey JavaScript optimization by going into the about:config and setting to true these two preferences: javascript.options.jit.chrome and javascript.options.jit.content.
