Personally, I’m big fans of Mozilla Firefox and I’m using Firefox 3 since Beta 1 and running on Beta 5 now. So far, I’m happy with the Firefox performance and I won’t switch back to Firefox 2.x.x.

I know there are a lot of Firefox Add-ons that still not working well with Firefox 3 beta x but Mozilla Lab itself working on some of the creative add-ons.

Mozilla Laboratories are where science and creativity meet to develop, research, and explore new ideas. Mozilla Labs embraces this great tradition – a virtual lab where people come together to create, experiment, and play with new Web innovations and technologies.

Weave is a project to integrate web services into Firefox by allowing users to securely share their data with other users and 3rd parties.

Prism (formerly, Webrunner) is a prototype application that lets users split web applications out of their browser and run them directly on their desktop.

Personas for Firefox is a prototype extension that provides dynamic lightweight theming for Firefox.

Joey is a server, Firefox add-on, and a Java midlet that allow you to pass data from Firefox to your mobile phone.

The Coop is an emerging Firefox add-on that will let users keep track of what their friends are doing online, and share new and interesting content with one or more of those friends.

Operator lets you combine pieces of information on Web sites with applications in ways that are useful. For instance, Flickr + Google Maps, Upcoming.org + Google Calendar, Yahoo! Local + your address book, and many more possibilities and permutations. All of these scenarios are possible due to Microformats, an emerging standard for injecting semantics into HTML.
