There are a number of features that enhance my web-surfing experience:

Quick Search - which allows me to search and highlight a phrase in the web-page
Easy to change pop-up blocker setting which after changing settings the page is not refreshed
Restore Session - In the event of PC crash, or force end-process of Firefox from Task Manager, the next time when I start, it can open all the tabs that I have opened benefiting me of saving time from going through the history to find the pages that I opened.
And many useful add-ons such as Zotero which saves and create citations for my research work online, dictionary which automatically check the spelling as I type in text-fields, PicLens which provides new, cool way to view pictures/YouTube videos and many more...

Now, Firefox 3 is going to be out in one day time. It provide enhance fixes to bugs, improved UI, redesigned Download Manager, and so on.
