Ok, I did as instructed,downloaded during the Guinness record event and installed Firefox 3.
Installation was as easy as expected, and the new Firefox seems faster and looks better, but
thats not what i wanted to talk about.
Firefox had a nasty bug (maybe just my MBP?) that causes it to open as a tiny window that
i had to look forever for, and Firefox would not remember the window size, so every time it
started i had to resize and position it. very annoying.

THE SOLUTION FOR THE NASTY MICRO WINDOW FIREFOX BUG:

(Note - this has worked for me perfectly, please let me know if it does not work for you)

1. Quit Firefox (but not before reading this text, lol...)
2. go to : USERNAME \ LIBRARY \ APPLICATION SUPPORT \ FIREFOX \ PROFILES \ YOUR.PROFILE \
3. locate the file localstore.rdf
4. make sure you quit firefox before doing anything (but fear not, i tried doing this without quitting, and it's OK)
5. rename localstore.rdf as localstore.rdf.bak (or .sav or whatever, this is your localstore backup file for now)
you might have to 'Show Info' on the file (cmd+i) so you can untick the 'hide extension' box, so that you can
change the .rdf to .rdf.bak.
6. launch Firefox. it should be fine now, and you will see a new Localstore.rdf file created in the profile you fixed.

thats it. if you are having trouble, leave a comment and i will try and help.
