Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 Tested. Intro

I recently found out that Mozilla has launched their 3.1 Beta version of Firefox. I downloaded it and installed it.
For starters, you will notice the green + icon. Yup, now you can add new tabs by just clicking on that icon. Opera, IE7/8, Chrome all had this feature before FF3. Good to know that FF3 has it now. And those who hated FF3/2 for not having that empty space below the bookmarks when there is a single tab, the Beta has it already. Something like Opera and IE7/8. And closing that lone tab closes the whole browser. Same like Chrome. But IE7/8 does not have any response if there is one tab. As for Opera, closing the last tab brings you to the "Speed Dial" page. And FF3 also copies Chrome in which you can grab a tab out of the current window to form a whole new window. Neat

The addresses are now colored dark blue. Not bad at all, but I do wish that the color was a little more striking. Nothing to worry, you can change it quickly under "Options".

I will try to go into more detailed info, like memory usage and such, but I do need your feedback to improve.
