to Firefox or not to Firefox?

Ok.... So I instantly after the suggestion of the Mayor downloaded FF3beta and am still giving it a hard time on my PB...

Up until now I am not fully decided whether I will completely stay with it or switch back to Safari (or even take the Camino route?)....

Summary so far:

+ FF is at least as fast as Safari

+ as the ipodtoucher mentioned, it is really highly customizable... all the integrated plugins really seem to blend over with the core structure- the community behind this is REALLY strong- I liked that idea in my PC times already...

+ with the standard skin I for the first time have the impression that FF is somewhat integrated into the OS- which is very nice!

+ I always were a fan of the pictures embedded in the tabs- much better overview than just writing

- I am missing the keychain support- while I know that Camino offers it I am a bit reluctant to take that road... FF3 runs like crazy on my Mac... is there a way to make my keychain passwords work for FF?

- this is no real negative point, just stating that You can't have both on my PB- many bells and whistles AND a fast opening browser (from off state)- while I can fully anticipate that this of course is not possible it bugs me still...

The biggest nudge for me is Keychain support, though... when they integrate that, I'm bought.. um, sold, that is ;-)
