I have no idea what the hell that is but I'm sure your Mac already does it better anyways...

Firefox 3 is definitely quick but I still want them to code it with Cocoa so it looks a little more "Appley" The new looks is definitely a step in the right direction.

It will happen eventually. Anyway, at the moment there is a workaround possible : http://lifehacker.com/355973/make-your-extensions-work-with-the-firefox-3-beta

But still, keep in mind that's the beta. Mine is fine but Ryno told me that his was crashing.
