Hmm.... It's certainly a lot better, but the view page source bug, the
lack of publish in composer, the mail filters turning themselves off or
not working and a lack of filter after-the-fact, the odd rendering
problem from time to time, the occasional crash, the odd hang for no
apparent reason, doesn't display marquees (scrolling messages created by
[yes I know] frontpage), lack of a roaming profile which was in 4.x all
still stop me from giving it to my users. I check the nightly builds as
often as I have time for and they do improve, but I feel it is still not
ready for the mass market. Don't get me wrong; I love Mozilla and use
it as much as I can, but I know when not to use it and why. My users
would not. They'd just give up, and when Mozilla is really great, they
wouldn't come back to it because of the bad times they would remember
having with it when it wasn't so great. So I don't let them see it
until it is polished.
Cheers!
