So I decided to participate in the "let's all download Firefox 3 at the same time and crash the server" frenzy, and I got my Firefox 3. As a mac user, I will say that I am happy that Firefox 3 is now a native mac application, which I think means that it is Cocoa-based? Still, I have a few reservations.

First, the damn thing looks exactly like Safari. I suppose that may not be a bad thing, seeing as how Firefox 2.x was one of the more visually displeasing OS X applications you could possibly feast your eyes upon. Still, maybe a little originality in the UI would have been nice. I'm also not crazy about all the browsing history madness that comes up when I'm typing in a URL. It's just too much crap on the screen, and I find it a bit distracting.



There's just way too much going on there with all the colors and icons, and it's just a bit overwhelming. Other than that, everything seems to be ship shape. As long as I don't get any more infinitely spinning rainbow wheels, I'm a happy camper.
