    big FF improvement for me....do this to upgrade with apt-get:

    You just need to add the following to your /etc/apt/source.list:

    Code: 
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu hardy main
    Then you only need to update (with sudo apt-get update) and then upgrade (with sudo apt-get upgrade) to install the firefox-3.0 RC package upgrade.

    My StumbleUpon extension still works, as well as Gmail Notifier and Adblock Plus.....lost a couple of themes...who cares....my scrollbar is back!
