Aneroph:
Dang, I love Firefox already and this new version is just amazing. I don't understand why my friends still insist on using IE ::)

xShadow:
I guess I'll try upgrading to it later.

I honest to god preferred 2.X to 3.5, though. 3.5 was just glitchy as fuck sometimes for me. Maybe it's because I go extremely heavy on the tabs (I have had hundreds of tabs open before), and that's just something that most people don't do, so they didn't quite design it for that. Quite frankly, as sad as it is, version 2.X worked much better for having lots of tabs open. 3.5 (at least on my laptop) just eventually got so annoying to use that it almost made me want to downgrade, but then I remembered that I can't use my profile folder, since 3.X and 2.X had different profile folder formats (or something). Long story short, I wasn't a happy camper.

It's working better on this new desktop I built, but any browser that honestly can't run FAST on this processor/ram has problems. I hope 3.6 patches some of that shit up.

To be honest, the only real reason I stick with Firefox is because of Adblock. Every other extension can make it somewhat more convenient but overall doesn't make this browser any "better". I've heard of that noscript thing, but I've never found a legitimate purpose for it (ever). Do you really need that much protection?

Basically Firefox just has a bunch (at least a few) of infuriating glitches that just love to mess up your (maybe just mine) browsing experience, and most of the time they're not very prompt about fixing any of it. It's just annoying... but as long as they have Ad Block Plus, I'll stick with em. *sigh*

Really?  I found the entire 2.x branch to be slow as fuck, and was much happier with 3.x (and 3.5 especially).

Nothing like the days of Firefox 0.9, though.

Nikaido:
Only problem I have is that IE Tab 1.5 doesn't work. And it's no longer being developed. But for those who loved it and want something like it for 3.6 get Corel IE Tab.

I just got it and it works great.

Unfortunately, there's no full version there. Only RC2 is available.
