high quality as usual, one more better thing than optimized 2.0 build is that now this 2.0.0.1 build use firefox in the UA (it was Bon echo in 2.0 build's ua), this change can solve the issue when websites ID your browser based solely on UA, such as MSNBC.com, now the dynamic menu can be seen.

These builds are nice but do you find the speed increase noticeable? Just curious. I tend to stick with the official builds

to be honest, i didn't.

I had 2 versions on my machine, stable 2.0.0.1 and a 3.0, 2.0.0.1 is really for use, 3.0 is for excitement. lol, I expect 3.0 to be very different, cairo+aqua is very interesting.

wow, it does have a bit of a speed increase. the fact that firefox didn't have proper aqua widgets really bugged me.
BTW: where do you download firefox 3.0?

3.0 is in alpha phase

don't let the aqua widget deceive you. 3.0 alpha is the real cocoa written program, altho its form widget still looks plain and old fashion, they will change it soon tho.

I am using 3.0 a lot. It is quite buggy, so I find I am switching to 2.0 or Camino or Safari. DO NOT use it for anything serious, like banking or shopping or anything where bombing out or freezing or screwed up pages will cause you trouble and/or financial distress.
