Firefox Finally F#%@ed Up

(I couldn't resist the alliteration)
So I upgraded to Firefox 3 a few days ago and have been nothing but disappointed. I have loved Firefox ever since I was turned on to it at school 4 years ago I guess. I thought of Mozilla as a golden child. The one that could do no wrong. I was sorely mistaken. I have been so perturbed with the upgrade last night I un-installed it and reverted back to Firefox 2.

My biggest complaint with the upgrade is that it isn't reading CSS files properly. Just about every major website I went to (Verizon, Fashionbug and IMDB just to name a couple) would load completely devoid of formatting. This made nearly impossible to find anything I was looking for. My second biggest complaint even if you load the CSS it wouldn't load pictures. They you would often come up as broken links.

This isn't something that would happen every time I would try to load a page. It was sporadic, and finicky. Hopefully they get all the kinks worked out of it before December (when they stop managing FF2). If they don't I am going to have start using Safari or Opera.
