So should you or should you not be using Firefox 3 yet? I would say for 90% of the population or people using Firefox, no. You should at least wait for the release candidate versions or the final version. The fact of the mater is, even though Firefox 3 looks good it still is not done yet. The idea of bringing this topic up started after reading a post over at Cybernet News:
There is a lot of talking going [...]

When I decided to make the leap to using Firefox’s latest beta (2.0b2) I ran into a problem. A lot of the extensions that I grew to love just crapped out on me. After I had a good cry, I did a little editing and got most of them back up and working. How can you do the same?

What the heck is tab overflow? I was confused as well:
By this point I think most people know the frustration that I had with how Mozilla handled the scrolling tab-bar in Firefox but it looks like they have found a good solution.
