Why I hate Firefox 3

Reason #1
it ignores CSS stylesheets sometimes, for no apparent reason. The screenshot below shows the same URL in Firefox 3.0.1 on the left and Safari 3.1.2 on the right:

This happens rarely, not even once a day, but I have no idea why. It doesn't always happen with the same URL, and the same page will display properly if I come back to it later. Anyone have a similar experience?


Reason #2:
It doesn't play nicely with Google Notebook. Notice in the screenshot below how the Notebook title bar shows multiple repeats, which happened as I scrolled the page.

Since I love to use my mouse scroll wheel and I use Google Notebook frequently, this is extremely annoying. I can force the screen to redraw by dragging a corner, and that eliminates the repeats, but as soon as I scroll again it happens again. Does anyone know what's going on?

I've reinstalled Firefox 2 so that I can use it when my patience with 3 runs out. BTW, this is Firefox 3.0.1 running on an Intel iMac with OS 10.4.11.
