I think that a browser its itself is a fairly insecure tool. Many things are sent plain text, browsers are susceptible to and aid in the distribution of spyware/malware. So to say, "well FF isnt secure" is just stating a fact. There would be more infections to opera if there were more opera users. That being said, FF3 is much better and faster than FF2. With a workaround, you can get FF2 extensions working fine. I have used it since its big ol release day, and never use IE. If I need to render something with IE, then I use the IE Tab for FF and problem solved.

its still an insecure browser like IE. you may loose your work, if you click on the following link, as you will have to restart (kill) the browser and dismiss the saved session.

opera has a "stop executing scipts"-checkbox on those dialoges which will create an endless loop otherwise, and prevent you from accessing the GUI/other tabs, the close button, the hotkeys.
firefox has no good popupblocker. it will block either everything and you have to create thousand exeptions manually. or nothing. and without adblock its popup horror like in 1995 with IE 3
i do use firefox btw. thats why it bothers me.

Major disappointment with this final release. The web page speed is good. But after that its all down hill. I hate the new url drop down menu screen. Which you can't seem to erase no matter what you do in the privacy settings. The bookmark management is a mess. I always like the original mozilla, than Seamonkey bookmark set up. Firefox 1.5 and 2 weren't great, but were manageable. This is terrible. Most of my plug in's didn't come over. I know i have read theres ways to get around that, but the point is, why should you have to. Like IE7, Firefox has sadly jumped the shark.

Choosing a browser is a zero sum game. They all have their quirks and problems. This browser shows programs that are no longer on my system.

Works well for me, no complaints so far. I did have to modify some compatible version numbers in a couple of add-ons since 3.0, but everything runs well.
