Firefox 3's killer feature???

Reading through the list of new features in today's release of Firefox 3 leaves me a little bit underwhelmed. My "user experience" has always been fine and I haven't yet spotted any must-have improvements, my "security and privacy" has remained unimpinged (as far as I know!) and "performance" has never been a problem either.

I've been using Firefox 2 as my main browser pretty much since it was released at the end of 2006 and I've been very happy with it. Most things seem to work better than IE and now I take the trouble to install Fx if I'm going to be on a client's machine for anything more than a few hours.

The only thing that makes me fire up IE at all is printing. Microsoft made some great improvements with IE7 and leapt ahead of Fx2. I realise that printing the Web is not a great way to browse but for the most technophobic members of my family it's the only way for me to share my excitement.

I've been installing every release of Fx3 from the very first beta and have been using it was my main browser pretty much since beta 3. I like the new look and I'm happy to make the move, especially as all the plug-ins I use are already supporting Fx3 (I note Google have updated their Toolbar as well). Printing has got a little better but it's still not great. Try printing this blog to see what I'm struggling with.

I wonder whether this is going to be Fx3's greatest triumph. I'll just have to wait and see.
