Certainly interesting; but I do get the feeling of a anti-firefox user. I personally wouldn't go back to IE or even attempt to go with Opera. I guess it's what the user finds more comfortable browsing on.

anyone have any memory problems with firefox... the previous version and this version seems to crash while playing things like windows media clips through the browser. the only way to fix is to hit alt ctrl del and select it from the system process and end it. then its business like usual... hmmm

Cant say I'm having issues with crashing but there is a memory leak of some kind as my browser is using 80mb with one tab open (this one..). There is something just not right about that.. Still lightening fast though!

Im using Netscape 8.1 and I think its faster at rendering web pages then Opera and firefox.

Its a better browser in my opinion.

This is much better but a few things have been starting to annoy me.

For instance;

No support for the All-in-one gestures plugin Sad

When i have multiple tabs open, I like to scroll through them with my mouse wheel.... you can't anymore

I like to scroll the page using the mouse 3 button, and to take it off quickly I scroll up / down on my wheel... again doesn't allow it anymore.

The page scrolling seems over sensitive now when you press Mouse 3

The worst problems are the all-in-one thing and the blue logo though. Gonna have to change that back to the FF now because it's gettin on my tits.

The way extensions work has always bugged me, in the sense that they have hard coded support and just wont let you install on a differing version than the extension states it will support. Its madness!
