Firefox 3 had been released today at 10am Pacific time. According to its website, it is the best Firefox yet and with more than 15,000 improvements, faster, safer and smarter than ever before, you can’t go wrong. I was one of those millions of people who had pledged to download it on the first day but during the first 2 hours of release the Firefox website just couldn’t handle the demand. Anyway, I am using it now and it feels good and I can say I like it. Here are some powerful tips that you can apply to your brand new Firefox 3.

Eternal Storms has released a public beta of flickery, an OS X (Leopard only) client for flickr. It bring a great deal of iPhoto-like functionality to your flickr.com account in the way it displays photos and enables you to tag & group your collection. You can also browse, view and comment on pictures of your friends or upload and manage your own photos and favorites, all from a clean and simple interface. You can also perform minimal editing functions pre-upload along with the option to e-mail your images via Apple Mail and even download them.

The view options are pretty nice: you can switch from a mini-overview (pictured below) mode to full-window mode to full-screen view (with slide-show controls).
