Have downloaded and am using the FireFox 3 beta, partly out of interest but also because of the many problems I have been having with version 2 since I switched to Vista.
I’ve found myself having to reinstall FF on an almost daily basis, as it just won’t load otherwise. A real pain in the neck. Anyway, the new beta has already been slammed in TechCrunch, and I’m already annoyed because none of my extensions work with it – something I probably should have predicted. The big problem I currently have with it is the fact that I can’t download anything – it just doesn’t happen. I’m having to flick to IE everytime I need to download a file.

I recommend exporting your bookmarks, creating a new profile, and importing your bookmarks. I suspect you’ve got something bad installed into your profile (a bad extension of an extension that didn’t clean up after uninstall.)
