Been using FF3 beta for a while ... good to see it has now gone final.  With final, google toolbar and the S3 addons now work.

I somehow missed the feature of FF3 displayed, so I guess I haven't given it that good of a look over.

I've tried a couple of the release candidates and the official release.  A few minor problems with the release candidates, but the latest version has been good for me.  A few of my add-ons didn't want to update, but luckily my most important ones were fine.  I personally don't really see much difference.  The search (I think they call it smart bar or something) is a little bit better.  They say the speed is suppose to be better, but I don't see much difference personally.  Seems like an incremental improvement for me, but I haven't had a need to go back, so that's good.

We have been using it at our office without any major issues.  We don't make much use of extensions, except foxmarks.  Foxmarks has had a workable extension for FF3 for a few months now.  We are also using several (something like 6-7) linux (k/ubuntu) desktops, and FF3 came default with the newest version of ubuntu (8.04)

Love Foxmarks. LOVE.

Just started 1 PC with FF3. 

It is quite fast.

I've never seen a browser this fast in a long time.

These pictures are entertaining, but I think they are making this thread NSFW... =)

FF3 is fantastic.  I'd say it's just as fast as Safari but with better flash rendering.  FF3 for OS X is a bit slower than FF3 for windows but still pretty quick, especially with mutiple tabs.

 

Foxmarks is amazing as well.  Not sure how'd I'd waste time without it.
