I recently downloaded the Beta 5 of Firefox 3 for my PC.  First, I will talk about the design of the browser.  The main things that I have noticed about it is that the back and forward buttons have changed, as well as the refresh, stop, and home buttons.  While the address bar only recieved minor changes.  Other than what I have mentioned the browser did not seem much different on a graphical level.

The installation of Firefox was very easy.  All you needed to do was download the setup and click the icon.  It transferred all of my settings from Firefox 2 onto this version in almost no time at all.  Other than the new graphics, I have not noticed much of anything that was different from version 2.  Although, I must say that it is a very fast browser.  Much faster than IE7 or Firefox 2, but I cannot vouch for Safari because I do not use a Mac.  If there is anything else you would like to know about the beta, leave a comment or download the beta from Mozilla’s site and see for yourself.  Thanks for reading!
