Firefox 3 winnage
I got Firefox 3 a while ago, and while I haven't really used the most-hyped features yet, there are a lot of little things I like.
Right-click on a tab and you get a couple menu options I've really been missing: move the tab to a new window, copy the tab to a new window, and move the tab to [choose an other existing window]. Sweet! ETA: Whoops, this isn't a native feature, it's an add-on called Tab To Window that I forgot I had. It's very much worth getting.
They fixed it so that ctrl-W and ctrl-T do the Right Things. With no windows open, ctrl-T opens a new window, instead of doing nothing. And if you have it set so the tab bar is always open, you don't need shift-ctrl-W to close a window that has only one tab in it.
Unfortunately, if you have a Mac you still have to jump through hoops to get favicons (those little website icons) in your bookmarks toolbar. Blahhh.
I haven't really gotten around to using the awesomebar (smart location bar) to its maximum, but what I've seen so far is pretty shiny. I'm hardcore into keywords and keyword searches, so I don't really need the awesomebar. Nothing beats typing "l" for my LJ friends page, or typing "w shakespeare" and getting the Wikipedia page for Shakespeare. Well, nothing except typing "e to the i pi" and getting the Wikipedia page for Euler's Identity.
