I get the impression that a lot of members here at ATS use the Firefox browser, I know I have since the first beta version.
I really like the version I use right now and am a little concerned about downloading the new version until its been around for a while.

Let us know if you're giving this beta version a try, I'd like some feedback from others before downloading it.

Will compile it here in a bit. Sounds quite interesting.

I wish they had a version of the mozilla suite with all the firefox and thunderbird looks and features. Oh well.

I just installed it....and I just uninstalled it.

After it froze my computer, I discovered that my plug ins and themes were not yet compatible.

So, I highly recommend waiting until it's off beta, or at least wait a few weeks. It's got some issues right now.

Yep, the source didn't want to compile either. Good idea.

Too bad.
I had heard the Beta was being released with only 18% of the extensions compatible. Not sure where I read that though.

If this release is like all the past ones the other stuff will catch up soon.

beta is a four letter word.

I let someone else work out the bugs.

I don't foresee any problems but still......

Flagged thread - looking forward to reading comments before I upgrade. Got very attached to firefox, I almost never use IE if I have a choice (except when sites don't allow me access because I appear as a google bot to see less ads!)
