Bev,
   Tab Mix Plus has been updated to work with FF3, but it is still not 
released (AFAIK), but can be downloaded from a link in the forum related 
to the extension.  Works on my Windows system.

As for what the FF3 default theme looks like-- does anyone really USE 
the default theme?  Get busy and download a theme.  A lot of them aren't 
available for FF3 yet, but many are much better looking than the 
default, which seems to get more like IE every iteration, which 
certainly is NOT good in my opinion.  Of course, if you want butt-ugly, 
you can take a look at Safari, which would make you LOVE the FF3 default 
theme by comparison.
