    Been using it for a couple of weeks. Definitely an improvement on an already great app.

    Hilarious. They just made it more like opera.

    built in spell correction =

    Now with built-in spellcheck I can finally dump that Google toolbar.

    Restore function is also very next level. If it crashes it'll restore the same sites/tabs you were on before the crash.

    There's also an anti-phishing protection which alerts you if you're on a bogus site. IE7 has the same but the IE7 preview I'm using is utter crap.

    im ok with it.

    opera already has all this.

    Firefox is a memory hog. How does Opera fare in that department?

    It uses less memory, and is a smaller download.

    It uses less memory

    this is great.

    but a drawback for me, three of my most used extensions are not compatible: Bookmark synchronizer SE, ViewMyCurrency and LiveHTTP Headers

    Damn, I used some of these tweaks and it really does speed up Firefox. Worth it but read the comment below the tips as well. There's some good ones in there as well.

    I just started using this, and it annoys me that whenever I click on an mp3 file the program downloads the file before playing it. Is there any way to get it to stream?

    I'm diggin it. Seems to load faster, which is always a plus. Went to download it for the home computer just now and went to firefox.com by mistake and found this message which I thought was funny:
