New Firefox release

I have no probs with FF3 and the tuks website. If anything is wrong it's the asp rubbish the tuks web developers use, not FF.

No probs at home either, also 3.0.2

Mostly its fine...but every now and again it tanks when you open a module homepage.

For some reason the tuks website flies when using chrome.

Kind of have to agree. I haven't seen any real benefit to it myself except for the fact that when you type in the 1st or 2nd letter of a site it remembers or brings up the site name you most actively visit.

For some reason FF3 has now also decided to forget my login details for Facebook.

FF2 did the same for me, and FF3 still does it.

its a facebook issue i think, ff remembers my credentials and weeks later it doesn't, but all the other sites does work only fb does this

FF3 is slower than FF2, in my observations.

Your observations are incorrect, in my observations.

FF3 feels way faster on my EEE then FF2, and that's a really limited spec machine. Not to mention on the SunSpider benchmarks.

I only have one complaint where Fx 3 is concerned, and it's not actually about Fx 3 itself, it's that there isn't an updated version of the Tabbrowser Preferences add-on for Fx 3 :(.

I dunno that one, but have you tried modifying the install.rdf file within the xpi to allow it to install on Fx3? I suggest backing up your Fx (with mozbackup) before you try it though. :) Maybe it'll work? Try changing the lines e.g.
<em:minVersion>1.5</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>3.0b4</em:maxVersion>

To allow a higher maxversion?
Worth a try :)

Don't tell me my observations are incorrect. I know when something works slower than what it used to. So far, most people agree with me. Stop being biased.

What I don't like about FF3 is that it's slower and some of the add-ons from FF2 do not work with FF3.
 
Fx3 runs faster in my opinion (and my Fx3 is more cluttered than Fx2 was) and it has all the extensions I need/want.
