It looks like David Baron is working hard on new CSS support for Firefox 3. His latest blog post tells us that he has finished up support for a bunch of CSS3 selectors, available now in the Firefox nightly build:

We now support :nth-child(), :nth-last-child(), :nth-of-type(), and :nth-last-of-type() [...] :first-of-type, :last-of-type, and :only-of-type

If you haven’t already you will also want to check out the Firefox 3 chrome tweaks to really customize your favorite browser.

extensions.checkUpdateSecurity -> Toggle to false
