If you decide to upgrade from Firefox 2 to the first release candidate of Firefox 3, you’ll notice an improved performance, less memory leaks, a revamped interface and some very interesting new features:

* select discontinuous text - press Ctrl while selecting different blocks of text, like you can do in Microsoft Office

All in all, Firefox 3 added some cool features, but it didn’t ignore fundamental issues like performance or a better back-end for web history and bookmarks. The new interface and the sometimes-not-so-awesome bar are two of the things that still have rough edges.
