Users area. If you try to use "Upload" or "Download," the buttons
disappear to be replaced with the heading to the FTP directory.
Mozilla's coming along, but I hate to have to keep IE on my machine
for sites it cannot handle well.
Also, the latest builds (since 0.8) no longer handle FTP requests
well. Every time I try to download a file using Mozilla, it stalls.

Sorry, I suppose I must mean JavaScript.

Hmm. I dunno about that. Perhaps it is a bit better, and that long
long startup time affects one's perception. I wonder if the developers
couldn't come up with something like Microsoft does with IE: load
essential rendering components on startup with Windows and keep them
loaded (ideally, in lieu of IE's) , thus allowing a quick perceived
startup.
