Publisher's description
From Mozilla :Note: Firefox 3 Release Candidate 3 is a developer preview release of Mozilla's next generation Firefox browser and is being made available for testing purposes only. Firefox 3 Release Candidate 3 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.
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 RC 3 is a bug-fixing release.

Version: Mozilla Firefox 3 Release Candidate 3
"Improved over version 2.x, but..."
Pros: Firefox 3 is much better than its predecessor in terms of speed and memory usage. Installation and configuration are, as before, simple and quick. As of version 3, some CSS compliance bugs are finally addressed and fixed, too.
Not the best web browser for Mac, but right now the most widely supported.
Cons: Though improved, speed is still noticeably slower than Safari or Opera. File association and plugin problems that have been around since version 1.5 are still not fixed, and the new UI is not particularly attractive.
Keyboard shortcuts and some other UI attributes are not well integrated with OS X, so in some cases the keyboard shortcuts are at odds with the usual Mac routine, making operation awkward at times.

Version: Mozilla Firefox 3 Release Candidate 3
"I have used Firefox for a long time and really like it."
Pros: It seems to handle the web sites that I visit without a problem although there are times when it has trouble loading CNN/SI. My other browser don't have the problem when I try them

Version: Mozilla Firefox 3 Release Candidate 3
Pros: It is faster in all departments.
Cons: The GUI look is passé and unimaginative, and there are few Add-ons that are ready for it. Since we are at Release Candidate 3 one would think that third party developers would be right in step. Doesn't look like it. We have only a few that we need. We can contact some of the developers and will since it looks like FF is close to a final release and would like to use it for the speed.
