Alright, it’s finally out. The famed 3.6 that will have a tremendous CSS3 support and all that other crap If you have it, check out my CSS3 tutorials  to see how it works on backgrounds, border and opacity, and other border properties.

I’m running Mozilla 3.6 right now, so let me tell you what I think about it:

The Good Stuff

• Themes have been eliminated and replaced with “personas” that do not require installation. Also, you can preview before committing to the change of design
• neater design: the top of the browser does not take as much space.
• download menu on bottom right. Click and you get a menu of all the items downloading/downloaded plus options
• better CSS3 support and other support
• considerably faster loading (idk how they do THAT)

All that sounds great but…that’s not the whole story.

The Bad Stuff

• Glitches, tons of them. I’m running a W7 Ultimate and I cannot open two windows simultaneously anymore
• Cannot open “Downloads” windows, actually any new window at all (not even java console, and other stuff like that)
• Downloads seem to freeze up and cease to work completely. I cannot even remove them from the drop down (“up?”) menu on the bottom right.
• While “personas” are great, I miss my transparent theme which doesn’t work anymore

That’s about it. It’s really damn annoying though. I hope they come up with a fix soon or I’ll have to start using Chrome more extensively. It might be a W7 64-bit thing, and even if it is, that’s a huge setback for the guys at Mozilla.

I hope you enjoy the new browser!
