And of all the new features (and there are plenty to love), my favorite part is the upgrade in performance. The one knock I always had on Firefox (V.2) was that it was a horrible memory hog. And the longer it was running, the worse it got. Now I know this is the case with all browsers, but if you monitor your memory with several browsers open, it is Firefox that seemed to grow exponentially (I would usually restart FF once it hit like 300 megs of memory). But now, with RC's 1 and 2 that problem seems to have been addressed. Unless you really have a plugin that you can't live without that won't work with FF3, I would upgrade immediately. Hell, I would upgrade now. I have been using the release candidates (both 1 and 2) since they came out and they are great.
