So far, the main new features in Firefox 3 seem to be

1. We moved everything around so you won’t find it
2. We broke all your plugins
3. especially mouse gestures which you love
4. and firebug

ok – the new drop down preview thingie in the address bar is quite useful but it’s not worth upgrading for. But, today, I found something worth having.

Ever gone to a site that needs your password and you go through a kafka-esque cycle of

• Hmm, haven’t been here for a while, wonder what my password is
• could it be this *****
• DO YOU WANT ME TO REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORD!
• ooh – that would be nice, then I’ll have it next time. OK
• PASSWORD IS WRONG
• maybe it’s this *******
• DO YOU WANT ME TO REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORD!
• well you weren’t very helpful last time firefox, were you? But, OK.
• PASSWORD IS WRONG

The big feature in firefox 3.0 is that it only offers to remember your password after you typed in it correctly.
