Does anyone have fireNES? How do you get it to work? It opens a new window for the game but it stays as a black screen.

OMG, I'd been playing around with RC3 for a whle, so I don't know how I didn't notice that the FF3 supports:
Text selection improvements: multiple text selections can be made with Ctrl/Cmd; double-click drag selects in "word-by-word" mode; triple-clicking selects a paragraph.
THIS IS SO COOL!!!! :D :D :D :D :D (ok, so it's a small feature but it's so NICE)

This is a ridiculously convenient feature. I also love that the screen can be zoomed now -- I spend most of my time browsing with huge text anyway because I have bad eyesight. Now pages don't look weird because the images scale too.

How do you zoom in FF 3.0?

The images look a bit blurry when you zoom in, it's a bit distracting. That's my only complaint so far.

I want to see if there's a way to have it selectively not zoom in on pictures that would be part of forum posts. The image scaling here is not necessary -- I only like it when it scales on websites so the interface doesn't get fucked up.

Yeah, I just found the option View, Zoom, click on Zoom Text only. This will only zoom in on text, but if you want it to scale on other pages you have to go back and check it off.

OMG. YES. SAVE & QUIT FEATURE!

:p I used to just leave all my tabs open and log out. Then upon logging back in use the restore session function.

Now it's built in!

I downloaded for the record or whatever, but won't be installing until I know I can just move over all of my bookmarks, passwords/settings, extensions and addons with no issues.

All my passwords and bookmarks were automatically transferred after the installation. I like the speedup boost, if only all my add-ons would work :(. Does someone have link(s) to some theme's or is it too soon for that?

Ok I've been off of firefox for a while and have been using Safari 3.1. What are the required add-ons/plug-ins/extensions for firefox on Mac?

Yep. What's up with that shit? I'm using 2 right now.

What's up with it? It's like your own personal google. It's already saved me a ton of time and effort in the couple weeks I've been using it. Being able to type in a number of letters and get the most-browsed sites that contain those letters is just great..but like anything, I suppose some people will just dislike it.
 
Hey, how do I get bookmarks to stop showing up every time I try to enter an address into the address bar? That shit is annoying as fuck.

It sure is. I'd like to know this too.

The pages displayed are ranked on frequency of visits, the most recent visits and whether they are bookmarked. Since you don't have any built up history, it will just display your bookmarks, but it does not necessarily show them after a while depending on what you type.

Youd think it would take data from FF2 usage.

For example, when i typed in ne, as I usually do to reach neogaf, it suggested the "half-japanese girl" thread, which I havent visited in over a week?

I think that's because FF2 didn't collect that kind of data that the AwesomeBar uses in FF3.

Use FF3 for a while and AwesomeBar will "learn" and take you to the best result.

For example, when I just write an "n" the first result is the http://www.neogaf.com/forum, and not something else from my bookmarks or history eventhough there are other sites that have "n" in their names
