Firefox 3 Beta 5 really does use about 1/2 the memory of version 2 and rendering of site content really is super fast compared to most any browser on WinDoes except Opera.

I am posting this using Firefox 3 Beta 5. (Installed in its own directory so that Firefox 2 will still run)

You can try it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html Be sure to read the release notes, etc before installing.

There are some strange things that could be attributed to running a Beta and some strange things that could be attributed to the Mozilla mentality.  The formal release will resolve these questions.

Overall it far exceeds the mediocre Internet Explorer package.
