I don't notice any difference besides the new button style.
"Woo hoo, I's gotz a new skin lawl"

I am sure there are many improvements and optimizations under the hood, but I don't perceive any distinct difference.

Hey that's not the only thing. Try running gmail, google docs and other web apps. It's 3x faster than ff2. You'll notice it instantly.

Sure I didn't. Heh, I did however notice a big difference once I installed AdBlock Plus. The new download manager layout is something to get used to. Right click & copy link as opposed to right click & properties took me a few minutes. I still prefer DownThemAll.

Has anyone noticed that FTP downloads using FF3 fail quite often? Maybe it was just the server I was trying. Also, I did notice the new FTP directory listing style in FF3? A+ on that!

u really didn't? speed and resource usage were the first things I noticed. and ftp seems to be broken in FF3. i can't even properly browse through ftp directories. i also thought it might be the server, but opera can browse the same server without any problems.

FTP seems fine, but data transfers fail.
