Publisher's Description
From Mozilla:
Note: Firefox 3 Beta is a developer preview release of Mozilla's next generation Firefox browser and is being made available for testing purposes only.. Firefox 3 Beta is based on the new Gecko 1.9 Web rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 27 months and includes nearly 2 million lines of code changes, fixing more than 11,000 issues. Gecko 1.9 includes some major re-architecting for performance, stability, correctness, and code simplification and sustainability. Firefox 3 has been built on top of this new platform resulting in a more secure, easier to use, more personal product with a lot under the hood to offer website and Firefox add-on developers.
Firefox 3 beta 5 is a bug-fixing release.
Note: Beta or prerelease software is not intended for inexperienced users, as the software may contain bugs or may potentially damage your system. We strongly recommend that users exercise caution and save all mission-critical data before installing or using this software.
What's new in this version: Firefox 3 Beta 5 includes more security features with one click site info, malware protection, Web forgery protection, anti-virus integration, and new SSL error pages. Firefox now automatically checks add-on and plugin versions and will disable older, insecure versions. Vista Parental Controls have been integrated, and password management is easier than before.

"A little more time should have been spent on this before release."
Version: Mozilla Firefox 3 beta 5
Pros
It does appear to be a lot 'slicker and faster.
Cons
The 'Add-ons' need to catch up fast as this is one of the best features of the earlier releases.

"poorly configured for email"
Version: Mozilla Firefox 3 beta 5
Cons
It crashs every time I try to enter yahoo mail, deletes mail when not checked, and loads very slow. There should have been alot more concern with protection also. It did not allow my virus protection work properly. If all mis-functions are corrected, then maybe I may concern myself to reload it, for now I will use the other browsers !!
