Get it.

Is nice. HTML 5, faster Javascript, privacy mode, etc.

Privacy mode?  Wow.  Interesting to see Fx take a feature from IE.

Edit: Just installed it. That video thing they have on the front page is pretty cool.  It's like Lightbox or Highslide, but with video.

Faster Javascript was much needed, there is a marked speed increase now. Very nice.

I hate firefox now, it doesn't save my logins so I have to log into a site everytime I start a new session. It doesn't sound too bad, but having to do it twenty times on twenty different sites gets really old fast.

Do you have it set to delete cookies and other data when you close Firefox?  Or maybe you have your cookie settings too strict.

I've tried every except create a new profile, I went to FF's site on how to do it but the instructions were horrible and I gave up.

Creating a new profile is really easy, especially if you aren't concerned about losing your favorites, preferences, and history.

I wonder if they fixed the horrendous memory leaks.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did.  The memory leak wascaused by the Javascript engine, so if they switched or reworked it then it might finally be solved.

I also just noticed they took another page from IE, this time from IE7.  They have a new tab tab.  For whatever reason I didn't see it until just now.

TweakGuides.com has the new Firefox Tweak Guide up and ready.

It's got a lot of general info. The good part starts at Tips & Tricks.

It's a prettyy good way to brief over the features of Firefox (and new features of v3.5).

EDIT:
There's a segment on Profiles on page 9, which briefly describes how to manage profiles.

I tried a new profile, still didn't work. This has been going on for a while, how could they not fix this yet?
