My observations so far are: 1. Load time very impressive when compared to FF2
2. Crashes regularly with the "Channel 9" site for M$ developers 3. Faster on most sites apart from ones with live feeds like NewsNow.com which is much slower than FF2 4. The most annoying thing when you have downloaded a file is that they have removed the "Open Folder" button which was very useful in FF2. So, now you have to open up windows explorer which is a real pain in the ar*e. 5. More than 75% of my addons don't work with it, but I guess this will change over the next few weeks. 6. I like the add to bookmarks "star" feature, but the auto find as you key in a URL is really, really annoying. My overall conclusions are that it is "good, but could do better". I'll probably stay with it for a while longer to give it a true test. Meanwhile I also loaded Opera 9.5 and that is just a Gem, fast, good looking and compact. Just like the perfect woman!

What problems did you find? It's noticeably slower on some sites, (GMail, Slashdot) and it crashed about 15 minutes after I installed it. FF2 rarely crashes for me. And what's with the new toolbar icons? They look really bad. I'm a huge FF2 fan BTW -- Paul [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
