@mono1941: It still works for me. Try reinstalling Firefox maybe?

Hi Phil, yes it does. FF3 also now gives you the OS X blue glow around highlighted form fields (a la Safari). And very nice it looks too.

Hey Matt
Does FF3 render Aqua form button elements now?

@Tonio: I’m continually swinging between FF and Safari! With Safari 2 I couldn’t bear the way it would simply let you quit without warning when you have multiple tabs open, so I switched back to FF. Then I’ve been using Safari more since version 3 came out and fixed the tabs issue. Now, though, I’m back to FF3, as I’ve found it just as nice as Safari, it has some great new features, and it’s better for web development (I’m a web developer too). Though Safari 3′s Develp menu is very nice…

@Greg: Good idea! If I have time, I’ll do some testing in the next few days.

Did you have any chance to run any speed tests with Safari to see any differences?

I found quite a few bugs in FireFox 3 RC1, including major issues with QuickTime. I’d switched to FF3RC1 because I was finding 2.x increasingly unstable. I blogged about it at the time and a friend commented that he’d given up on FF and gone back to Safari and had been very happy ever since. I’ve since done the same, although I still use FF3 for the web developer stuff.
