Pages load quickly and the memory footprint does seem to be lower.
Only thing is that a lot of the plug-ins don't work.
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

As adiewoo says many extensions don't work, but that's no biggie for me as I don't use many extensions.
The main improvement/new feature seams to be the artificial intelligence of the address bar, that looks through your history and bookmarks, to type ahead URL's.

Unlike Firefox 2 which had issues with running 32 bit plugins on a 64 bit machine, I can report that all plugins work well and I have yet to see any problems - at all!

Have just downloaded it from filehippo and installed same, uninstalling FF2 first.
All went fine - it even added/synchronised my Foxmarks and ReminderFox all by itself with just a few clicks from me. AdblockPlus has also imported automatically. The only thing that hasn't imported is the AVG Link Scanner which it gave a warning about on installation. It offered to search for solutions but I declined as I have it disabled anyway.
It doesn't look a deal different from the last one but I will have to give it some time to know if there are any practical differences. As long as it gets me on the Internet, is easy to use and is as secure as possible then I am happy.

It's quite easy to hack most extensions to make them work with Firefox 3. You'd be doing so at your own risk of course though.
My main gripe extension wise is that there are no plans to upgrade Google Browser Sync. Instead it looks like I'm going to have to switch to Weave (already installed on my work machine), or Foxmarks.
I have Chatzilla, Digg, FireFTP, Extended StatusBar, Greasemonkey, IETab, PicLens, StumbleUpon, SwitchProxy, TabMixPlus, Tab Scope & TwitterFox all working flawlessly under RC3.

Edit: Hmmm, maybe not. The download link still takes me to FF2
