You know, I find it *incredibly* useful that FF3 remembers months of history. For example,
when you are about to click on a rapidshare link, it's very nice to know that you've already
downloaded the file two months ago, so that you don't use up your quota and don't incur a
two-hour timeout.

The improved history handing is one of the main reasons why I had switched from FF2 to using
FF3 nightlies.
