Get your certificate here [via]. I’ve been using FF3 for all of 48 hours and I have nothing but good things to say about it. My top two extensions (del.icio.us and the web dev toolbar) are even better than they used to be. And that’s just for starters.

Also? I’ve got some honest-to-goodness blogging planned. Really.

I just downloaded it today, on my Mac & my work PC and the experience has been brilliant so far. I have to admit that I was skeptical about many of the “features” listed in the release notes, mostly because I’ve been able to do many of those things in Firefox for months already (like one-click rss subscriptions right into Bloglines), thanks to some brilliant extensions. But when I read about the built-in spell checker, I knew I had to give it a go & I’m trilled that I did! If for no other reason than it now makes the clunky web interface for my work email a wee bit more tolerable. And even though Livelines was my favourite add-on for the longest time, the integrated RSS handler does make subscribing to feeds in Bloglines a couple of clicks easier.

So, all of this is to say that Firefox continues to rock! Go get it now. And tell all your friends.

The code (and a short but good explanation) is here. If you’re publishing a feed, it’s a really good idea to make it as findable as possible!

*look for RSS in the address bar in Firefox;
*look for rss in the address bar in Safari.
