Be sure to grab the latest version of Firefox from Mozilla on June 17. This is the fastest and trimmest version yet.
Speed tests are showing a 2-4x improvement over Firefox 2 and 9x over Internet Explorer 7. Memory usage tests measure that Firefox 3 is 2x more efficient than Firefox 2 and 4.7x more efficient than IE7. There’s been a tremendous focus on performance for this release, and an incredible amount of effort has gone in to achieving these numbers.
Mozilla recently released Firefox 3 RC2. Get it while it’s hot.
Firefox is expected to reach 20% browser share by July of this year. Firefox 3 being released later this month will likely give Mozilla the boost they need. I’ve been using FF3 since Beta 1 and it seems to be faster, but I still don’t see much of a memory decrease over other versions. Too bad.

Last night I installed all of the recommended updates for my Ubuntu 8.04 laptop using Gnome. Today I restarted and noticed that all of my windows buttons for minimizing, maximizing and closing were missing. In addition I couldn’t drag any of the windows around.
To fix this I opened a terminal window and ran the following command
metacity --replace
Be sure that you use two dashes together if you need to restore your window controls.
