Firefox 3 is awesome. As a switcher, FF is warm and familiar. I just can't get down with Safari. I keep trying -- everytime I click a link in Mail I try. But it's not happening for me.

From what I can tell, it's faster than Safari 4 with SquirrelFish but the fonts look much bigger than in Safari and because of that, don't look as good.
This might be the only thing that is keeping me from using FF

Yea, I just downloaded and noticed it. Weird.I'm a Safari user, I'll give Firefox a try. I've always had it as a backup but never really used it. I'm happy with Safari and it integrates better then Firefox. But I'll give it a try, see how I like it.

I hate to turn people away from a brilliant Apple product, but here are some extensions that will make Firefox more like Safari:
