After many months of public testing, the next major release of Firefox has finally been made available to the masses.

Below is a list of the extensions I use in Firefox:

Delicious Bookmarks
DOM Inspector
FlashGot
Gmail Notifier
Google Toolbar
GreaseMonkey

The settings I use in Tweak Network are:

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server, 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, 12

Google Browser Sync has been discontinued and so it won't ever work with Firefox 3. Mozilla are working on Weave which will do similar things and a Firefox 3 compatible version is due out later this month.

Oh, I didn't realise it had been discontinued. Thanks for the heads-up, guess I'll dump that one then.
