Firefox 3: Any Different?

Since the launch of Firefox 3, trying to download Firefox 2 has been increasingly difficult (since most mirrors are updating to the latest version).

To be honest I’m not too fancy to install it as soon as it was released, since Firefox 2 works for me. So fate took a turn and my machine need a re-installation all over. Since I can’t get FF2, I’ve deiced to give FF3 a try.

Downloading it was a breeze, plus another two minutes and FF3 in installed to my Vista.

From what I’ve read, the new FF3 default theme suppose to give the user an “integrated” experience within the user’s OS. Now look at bellow, I do not think its any where near to “Vista” as it claim, putting a funky button as Back and Forward button do-not-constitute as “Vista” integration OK?

A quick search at Mozilla Firefox Theme shows that most of the theme are for FF2, very few that are FF3 ready. I’m looking for something that “revert” the FF3 look back to FF2, although I could not find the exact match, I did found Phoenity Aura 0.3

Don’t get me wrong, the FF3 does an excellent job in bringing us FF3 (for God knows how many improvement has made so that the freeloader like you and me can enjoy the digital era), but I think shipping Strata as the default theme, is less appealing to me.

    Since I installed FF3, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t render like FF2. They must have made some changes to the engine that nobody has, as of yet noticed.

    Makes me kinda mad too, cause I was in the middle of a project, and now I gotta re-tool it (but there isn’t really much info on what happened to the engine yet on the internet).
