I've been running FF for a while now and am almost ready to try Opera.

So far, I like FF for tabbed browsing, speed, and it remembered some logins that IE made me type everytime, which was time saving. I also like the "Open in tabs" option for grouped bookmarks, that rocks.

I don't like it for flaky downloads (quite a few browser freezes, I think linked to shutting down the original window - had to alt ctrl del to shut it down), favourites seems to be little bit slower to use the IE (more clicks?), had to install an IE add-on to make some webpages work (admin pages for GR.net etc).

If I don't like Opera I'll prolly come back to FF rather than IE. It's probably worth trying this new beta to see if it fixes some of my dislikes before I switch to Opera though..

Just a reminder, folks:

This is an Alpha build. It is not meant to be installed on a production system, and may cause instabilities, not to mention that many features that work in the release builds of Firefox may be broken in this alpha.

Use at your own risk.
