I finally joined the "Upgraded to Firefox 3" club today and so far, I'm pretty happy with it. However, I was happier after I came across 12 Quick Hacks for Firefox 3 written by Preston Gralla for Computerworld. The article provides some hacks and features to make FF3 a bit more usable and FF2-like for those of you who are resisting some of the changes. I immediately implemented #3: Having Gmail Handle mailto: Links and #6: Shrink the Back Button, and I'm looking forward to utilizing the Get Web Details (#5) feature for developing.
