    Seeing as this seems to be the version they will be releasing as RC1, has anyone else tried this for their browser?

    I just installed it, and its definitely faster than FF2, but strangely, and im freaked out a bit by this, there are two, count em, 2 back buttons.

    Why? or is this a bug?

    Is it like Operas two back buttons?

    One goes back a single page; the other goes back to the start page you were on [ie. if you navigated thru wiki a number of pages it would bring you back to the initial wiki page you were on...I think]

    There seems to be an outstanding bug here for a few builds of FF3 that this is being attributed to

    yeah, in the end it was just a case of customising the toolbar. but interesting I believe anyway!

    I was using beta 4 for a bit and when I installed it there was no back button. I had to customize menu and add it. I stopped using it because there was some sites and extensions that weren't working. I haven't tried beta 5 yet, will have to give it a go.

    maybe wait for about 6 days when they go for the code freeze though.

    Nightly build ftw guys.

    Hava look for the minefield build and get the update each day. Extension support comes and goes with every few updates tho.

    Most extensions can be modified manually to work on it though :) If your interested I'll write a how to when I get home from college, once the extension isnt signed (most arnt I've found) it can be modded, I got Adblock Plus and StumbleUpon bar working on Beta 5 :)

    If you plan on going down the nightly build road. Then you gonna want "nightly tester tools" addon. One click re-enabling of all extensions.

    Safari better enjoy it's day in the sun cause Firefox 3 is now beating it in the benchmarks I've seen so far for page rendering and javascript performance.

    Got this automatically yesterday too, all extensions now broken. I don't see the native Windows UI stuff they're on about either (in vista, at least).
