To echo macfan1138, I can't explain the issues people say they have with this release. I have an aluminum MacBook Pro and had no issues with installation. I haven't had any problems with rendering or video streaming at all.
So far, it's rock solid and launch time is dramatically improved. Rendering and browsing speed, as well as Javascript/AJAX functionality is on par with Chrome. Best release on 3.0.x yet, enough where I'll *finally* use Firefox again as my daily browser.
I love the browser wars! Apple Safari team: step it up!

Hey, I had no problem with installation; post-installation was a minor nightmare. And for the record, I repair permissions before and after installing or updating anything and have never had a problem with Firefox (other than the recent visuals which can hardly be called a bug). Why should I have to tailor a new procedure to this release when the one I've been using for years has served me perfectly well? For everything, I might add.Given that, I have to assume that the problem I encounterd was unique to 3.0.8. I didn't fabricate it, hence it has a place in this forum. We shouldn't all be expected to be fanboys, especially if a program is problematic.
