um, the glasser css file is in ff3, but the aero-like bookmark bar you blogged about (aye, there be glass here?) does not work.

any updates from the creator?

IE8 still kick's ff3's butt except for the addons (that work)

Start seeing Firefox in a positive light. You are the only IT person I know who thinks IE is better. It is not and plays catch up to Firefox in all ways.

While I'm not digging the default visual theme (I use small buttons to make it looks more acceptable) I'm very impressed by the memory usuage/stability improvements made to FF3. It feels like FF has finally reached 1.0, the rest of the versions didn't feel this fine tuned.

paul, i see recently you've become very picky to firefox. why is that? there must be something under :) except for the visual styles.

Add the boolean value ‘extensions.checkCompatibility’ set it to False in the about:config page of FireFox. All you beta compatible extenions will work with RC1 via that route including glasser, IETab etc.

Or download the add on "Nightly Tester Tools" from Mozilla and it will handle each extension intelligently and separately.
