3.0.1. In case you're curious, one MAJOR bug that actually was fixed in
2.x, but is back in 3 has to do with MJPEG video streams when using
zonealarm.

The bug is when viewing a live camera, going to another page doesn't
stop firefox from continuing to fetch the stream. Only solution is to
close firefox completely. This is annoying since it completely saturates
my upstream when I view the camera remotely, and if I forget to close
firefox it'll continue downloading all night.

They fixed this bug in 2, so I was very disappointed it's back in 3. On
the whole 3 is far better then 2, but it's still got some pretty
annoying deficiencies that mozilla seems to be ignoring for the time
being.
