Experience the awesomeness of the awesomebar!

...Well, I was going to tell you all to go download Firefox 3 today, but downloading is pretty slow at the moment. Since they're going for the record for most downloads in 24 hours though, give it a shot later on today or tomorrow morning (before 11 AM Pacific). Or it might be better by the time you see this. May as well give it a shot.
The new Firefox is pretty great. The awesomebar takes some getting used to, but is really dang useful. (That's how I found the link to that BBC article again -- I just typed "BBC Firefox" into the location bar and after a couple of seconds of pondering, it came up with the link). And they made it less memory-hungry. And it's faster. Yay!

I want to do it, but I'm worried the new release will be buggy.

I think they've been pretty good about testing this upgrade -- I've been using it since it was in beta, and I don't think I've had a crash*. And there have been several release candidates since then.

From what I hear, you can go back to 2 with the same profile, if you want.

*Not one that was Firefox's fault, anyway -- the Linux Flash plugin has a lot of bugs. (Hooray for Flashblock!)
