I’ve been using Firefox 3.0b5 for almost a month now exclusively and have moved my developer tools to it. This morning I took Firefox 2 out of my dock… I’ll only use it now for testing purpoes (for a while), although I haven’t seen any pages render differently between 3 and 2, unlike IE 7 and 6.
For a while a secondary developer took the Firebug script and hacked it up to work on FF 3.0+, but the Firebug guys have released their own stable beta that I’ve found to work great.
Some are reporting crashes in the Web Developer toolbar, but I haven’t seen that. Granted I work almost exclusively with Firebug so take that for what it’s worth. It is listed to work with FF 3.0+.
I’m really happy with the improvements in the 3 beta. I’m sure if I grabbed a nightly I’d see even more improvement but my version has been solid as a rock, so I’ll wait for RC1 or the official launch which is listed as, “Early 2008 (TBD): Firefox 3 released, Firefox 2.0.x.y supported for next six months” in the release wiki. I keep hearing June.
