I just downloaded it and I gotta say it looks good. Anyone want to comment on it? It's not really a huge jump from 3.0 but it is updated.

I always like Firefox updates. My only complaint, ever, on any of them has been incompatibility with some of my addons. Usually the extension makers update things accordingly, but some of my favorites seem to have lost their developers... farewell, Show Picture. Goodbye, Show Image.

Type "about:config" in the location bar, say you'll be careful, right-click, New > Boolean > extensions.checkCompatibility (capitalization is important), false, restart Firefox. To install older addons from the Mozilla page, disable Javascript and it'll let you download them even if they're for an older version.

Some addons may not work at all, but most will work even if they don't say they will.
