Some of the most anticipated features in Firefox 3 are improvements in memory management, caching and JavaScript engine. Other features like verification of secure sites, secure database for personal information etc. are also included. Firefox 3 sports a faster Gecko 1.9 rendering engine, which promises to be faster.

@Madhur: Indeed, it is time to move on to Firefox 3. I wouldn’t have encouraged moving to Firefox 2 if somebody were on Safari or Opera, because Firefox was resource heavy. With v3, that complaint is also solved.
