In a world where everyone tries so hard to be different, the most unique thing you can do is follow the norm.

You guys are kidding with the liking of this hunk of ----, right?

First of all, the back/foward button is AWFUL. Yes, store it in one spot, brilliant.....No, it's ------- retarded. If I want to go backwards, I want to click on the back arrow and select how far to go back. If I want to go forward, I want to click on the forward arrow and select how far forward I want to go. Sticking it in the same spot is ridiculous. The two different sized arrows blows pretty hard too.

Secondly, every time I start to type a web address I get startled as the results pop out and the different sizes and how they are underlined. It makes me close the application immediately.

As for the speed, seems about the same or slower. As for the resources, 55mb for one window, no tabs is about 20mb more than it uses with the old version so again, how does this use less resources? I trust the professionals for testing that, but my rudimentary tests don't agree....

I'll stick with v2.whatever.

Yeah I agree with pretty much everything you said. Only difference I noticed was it loaded up faster and when having a bunch of tabs open it loaded the pages quicker and didn't lag between switching tabs.

then your ---- is fubar'd to begin with. mine hasnt had one issue at all. i think its even better than 2.X of the regular firefox. i run no virus scanning software at all, and have had no issues at all. its all in the user and what the user does and what sits are visited. i was playing mugen fighting sim earlier and it crashed because of the graphical interface, while i had firefox downloading a 4 gig file. no lag that way either.

im with Kain though on this one, much better. oh and backspace works better as a back button if your quick on the hotkeys!!
