No trouble with the ones I am using (Webdeveloper, adblock plus, noscript, IE Tab, etc), they get updated with their FF3 compatible versions, the only one still missing is firebug.

That may also comes from your addons, which ones are you using if any?

Alright. Laughing I can understand that you are pissed off if you do had an use for them, let's hope most of them will be updated quickly. I have tried a lot but only kept the truly useful ones to avoid turning FF into a bloated/sluggish piece of crap. Wink

Firefox 3, the long-awaited update of Mozilla's open source web browser was released earlier today. The download counter, which is projected on a large display screen here at Mozilla headquarters in Mountain View, CA, has been churning numbers at a rapid pace all morning. The display shows that Firefox has now exceeded 1 million downloads, with between 5,000 and 14,000 downloads per minute.

Use this addon to export passwords :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848

You can export the Bookmarks easily from the "organize bookmarks" window. The other options you can set, not too much to it with Firefox.

They fixed a lot of memory leaks (see here, no this is no mistake, ie7 is really that bad).

If you keep your browser open for a few hours and visit a lot of sites, browsers tend to consume RAM even for sites you already closed (due to memory fragmentation and memory leaks). Fiorefox 3 was optimized mainly in this regard and as you can see, they succeeded. Don't be fooled by the lack of cosmetic changes.

Yes, because things labeled as beta are knows for their stability... Rolling Eyes Obviously you haven't been running F3 betas (i.e. Minefield) from the start, have you?

You can always force compatibility, by using the extension "nightly tester tools" or opening the xpi files, but thats too tedious ^^
Of course, you might break something Wink

It is generated from the most visited websites in the history and bookmarks, you can easily remove some links by highlighting them and pressing DEL, but it seems more relevant to use the Bookmarks Toolbar for what you want.
