I've been using it for a few months.  The new awesome bar is truly
awesome.  Rather than remembering domains I now just start typing
words that are in the URL and/or title of the page and the awesome bar
presents possible matches.

The browser itself is also much faster in several ways than previous
versions - page rendering and the execution of javascript are the
places I notice speed improvements the most.

The Betas and RCs that I've used were about as stable as the 2.x
branch.  The biggest problems I had were plugin related.  If you use
lots of plugins, you might want to try it out (from a zip build)
before replacing your current firefox to see whether it's worth
upgrading or not...

Regards,
Greg
