FireFox 3 in Gutsy

[MoonRise]

When testing HH I stumbled on FireFox 3. Liked it a lot, but was not the most recent. Has anybody tried FireFox 3 on Gutsy?

Sorry. That must have been where I "stumbled" on it. Thought that was in HH. Sorry


Edit: So it looks as though the Repos still have that Random Trunk, not any of the latest Betas. Have you tried installing from FireFox's downloads?

I've installed Beta 3 (latest version) from the Firefox site. Works fine (I install in /opt and can run either Firefox Beta 3 or the 2.0.0.11 from /usr/lib), but I ultimately decided to stick with 2.0 for now. Beta works, but I can't get all my extensions to work in it and I am fairly dependent on some of those.

I do think that Beta 3 is much better in handling Javascript and it seems to be a bit better in handling some embedded video (though that still needs lots of work).

Thanks!

I like having page titles as well as URL's in the address bar autocompletion. And the asking to remember passwords is less intrusive. Other than that, there's not THAT much new in fx3.
