9: are there really more buttons than ff2? You can hide the status bar, but he wants it by default.
8: This is Ubuntu's fault. Addons will be more available for firefox 3 after firefox 3 is released. Amazing!
6: I think the intention is to make a page with these problems look broken, protecting Bob Average from attack sites. Also, it lets the problem stay more within the current tab. Having context for errors is awesome, and being interrupted isn't.
5&3: didn't xforms get some major change too late in the development of firefox 3? And Acid 3 came way too late for the gecko version being used.
7&4: Yes the preferences are cluttered, and about:config options often require way more explanation than a single line before you know if you should be changing them (no).
"Enable pipelining? Sure! Max connections? This will make my pages load faster! -O9 -funroll-loops -f2fast2furious -fomit-frame-pointer? Rad!"
I can't disagree with him on some points however. I do wonder if he filed bugs for each of his criticisms back when FF3 was still in early beta. That would've been somewhat more helpful.
