I was only moderately excited for the new Firefox beta since my current version of Firefox 2 is fairly customized and runs great.
However, as I was reading about the updates to Firefox 3, CSS rendering was supposed to be improved. I decided it was time to have another look at the Acid 2 test. It’s a test to see if the CSS rendering of the browser is standards complaint. Firefox 2 was pretty good, but not perfect. Well, Firefox 3 fixes all of that. Here’s the screenshot I took to prove it.
Congratulations to Mozilla for fixing the last remaining significant argument against Firefox! As a designer, I’m very happy.

I’ve never even heard of this ability/technique in CSS. So super handy.
You can use adjacent sibling selectors. An adjacent sibling selector is made up of two simple selectors separated by a plus sign, “+”. Whitespace is allowed around the adjacent sibling combinator. The selector matches an element which is the next sibling to the first element. The elements must have the same parent and the first element must immediately precede the second element.

Being the CSS junkie that I am, I’m always on the lookout for great CSS tips. Well I’ve found an excellent one. Instead of creating a fancy javascript to generate a common navigation bar that shows the user their current location in the site, how about a simple id and class selector. Genius!
You can use the same navigation (X)HTML-code on every page. “Most websites highlight the navigation item of the user’s location in the website. But it can be a pain as you’ll need to tweak the HTML code behind the navigation for each and every page. So can we have the best of both worlds?” [Ten More CSS Tricks you may not know]
