    I hope FF3 team will hear me somehow...

    The "true zoom" of FF3 works like that in IE7 and is a huge stepback. Once used it gives blurry images. Buttons and text fields on some websites are invisible under any zoom level, if larger font size is set in User/chrome. Now I *have to* us IE7 to fill forms in some websites.

    Perhaps, time for me to abandon Mozilla. They've gotten too big and self-enjoying and lost track of reality... FF3 gave no positive changes, plenty of optional and new zoom that I consider "a loss of function".

    Here's how you turn the new zooming off: go to the "View" menu, go to "Zoom" then choose "Zoom Text Only"

    and you should be set :)

    Thanks, Ricky, that's how I like it more. Still, I expected FF3 to be less messy than FF2 at sites like http://www.cnbc.com/, but instead some bells and whistles were added.
