Firefox 3.0.3 is far better at rendering HTML and CSS than its predecessors, but it still doesn't integrate well with Mac OS X. It's faster than ever and has more features, but it's still annoyingly clunky. Unless you need or want to use Firefox addons, <rhetorical)Why bother?</rhetorical> The word "feh" comes to mind.

Hello,

I could not manage Firefox 3.0.3 to display the font face "Gill Sans Light" which I have correctly specified in my css properties.

e.g.

.headline { font-size: 72px; font-family: "Gill Sans Light", "Gill Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; }

This doesn't seem to work neither in Apple Safari. Has anyone a clue how to fix this?

graphically & sincerely,

Marc Klein

Still a few bugs, but overall an awesome product. Thanks Mozilla team! I used to use Camino, but with this version, I don't see many advantages with Camino anymore.
