1151135 2010-11-08 21:06:00 I am using FF Beta 4, and so far very happy with it.
Good Points:
You can still access the tool bars in full page F11 mode.
Shift Mouse-Wheel pages back and forward.
Ctrl Mouse-Wheel zooms screen.
Returns to the exact position on 'Back', unlike IE8 which returns to the top of the list, very annoying on F1 & Trade Me.
Accurate rendering of pages.
Very good Ad Block.

Not so good points:
TABS are above tool bars, should be below.
Takes a while to open.

1151137 2010-11-09 00:16:00 I tried it and liked it, had a few problems though, being on win7x64. I'm just gonna wait for the release jareemon (5207)

1151141 2010-11-14 10:36:00 and now its beta seven. Its faster and I guess it has better add on support. jonkimnicko (10061)
