Firefox 3: Text selection and general in-page goodness

[] Double click a word to select it; triple click to select a paragraph. If you need to select multiple batches of text, hold down Ctrl and select at will.

[] Changes have also been made to the way the zooming feature works. Hold down Ctrl and move the mousewheel (alternatively, press + or -). Firefox will zoom in or out the entire site; both text and images. Want to switch to the old, text-only way of zooming? Click on View in the menu and choose Zoom, then Zoom text only. Your preference will be remembered on a per-site basis.

[] There’s been a tiny but useful change to the “Find” toolbar; select text inside a web page, then hit Ctrl+F, and the selected text will automatically be entered into the Find field.
