I did have a problem with FF3 where it would not upload my images from Canon cameras into my Smugmug account. My scanned images from the Contax G2 were fine.
I opened a ticket with Momzilla and she said to switch to the Nikon system instead.

It's color management is on by default. They knew from the start it should be. Why put it as being able to be turned on FF or not at all IE?
With a wide gamut monitor only Firefox 3 handles images without an embedded profile reasonably well. Safari does not.
AFAIK the reason that you can turn off color management in Firefox 3 is that if it is not important to you (which for normal web browsing for non image purposes it probably is not) then it is slightly faster with it turned off.
Everything with FF3 looks good except that the 'FxIF' extension does not work with it. The extension was a good tool (at least for me) that displayed the exif info neatly within the properties pane of a image (opened by right mouse click -> Properties). Now I have the 'Exif Viewer' installed which does the same but in a more cluttered way.

It messes up for me in the FM forums. If you go to the mail forum page and then hold CTRL and click one of the subforums (to open in a new tab), it will open in a new tab AND load in the current tab.
If you don't like it though... just CTRL + F4 and your problems will disappear.
This appeared on my PC with FF3.01, wasn't a problem in 3.0. Looks like a new bug, but no show stopper for me - "right-click, open in new tab" is my workaround.
I love FireFox, especially the new release 3. Best zoom ability and security outta there. But it is a memory hog and not very friendly with flash components in pages. Easily sucks up more than 1G memory for just a couple of tabs. And takes tons of processing capacity with dealing with certain flashes. I got 4G memory with my lappy so memory is not a problem. But a 2G Duo Core won't work for some sites then I shift to IE or Safari.

Even with 20-30 tabs open (checking FM posts), it rarely uses more then 64MB on my PC ...
Personally, I HATE Firefox... Had problems with it a while back (Took over my PC; used up ALL memory and pegged the CPU @ 100%); Now that IE has the ONLY feature that I liked in FF (Tabbed Browsing), there's no reason to use anything else... I'l NEVER use FF ever again.
The improved protection in FF3 can be overkill. I've got a situation where I get into a "dialogue", as it were, like this: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes."
"Are you REALLY sure?"
"Yes."
"Well, then you have to add [item] to [exclusion list]."
"Fine, I do know what I'm doing and I wish to continue." [click]
"Well, [grudgingly] Okay, I'll let you do it. For now.
At work I've got about 15 network switches with a non-valid security certificate which, in FF2, caused a lot less fuzz. I know they are expired, and I know that the network switches are secure through other means. Having to exclusion-list them all isn't something I'm exactly ecstatic about.
... But it's a minor scuff mark, and in the greater scheme of things, it's good to have a proper warning system for faulty security certificates.
I just noticed that I have the Ctrl-Click problem ONLY on the forums list page (https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/), NOT on the other pages ... So it might have something to do with something specific to that page ...
THe new firefox crapped out on me today. It loads a homepage fine, but no links from the homepage will work. I just get the hourglass. I tried sending a report to Firefox, and gave up after it spent 30 minutes contacting the server. It was a good breakfast, though.
For those with the CTRL+Click problem.... click the mouse scroll wheel instead.
Incidentally I'm using Firefox 3.01 and I don't have a problem CTRL+clicking from the main forum page. However its much faster to simply click on the scroll wheel.
? Out months before FF3.
