Firefox 3 for Windows update

I am now using Firefox 3 on my Windows PC (have had it on Ubuntu for ages now it seems). It uses less memory and loads faster. Some add-ons were not compatible but most were.

I had a small problem, the Skype Extensions for Firefox (not the main Skype program) caused Google Maps NOT to load. Someone else at Google groups had the same problem. One can start Firefox in SAFE mode from the Start menu and this will allow it load without any addons. I did this and saw Google Maps works fine with Firefox, so the culprit had to be an Add on. By disabling them one by one until Google maps worked I was able to single out Skype extesnion. Why is caused this problem I don't know. Probably something to do with latching on to certain ports that the other program needed.

Better security, better backup of user setting and data. Better bookmarks overall and search bar is vastly improved.
