God I Love Firefox

Just installed the new Firefox Beta 3.5 on one of my employer's test stations.

WOW, this thing is freakin' blazing!

I've always liked Firefox more than Internet Exploder, now I like it even more.

Get Firefox

Or keep using crap.

Well,OK, Opera user's don't use crap.

I installed one of the early 3.0 betas and had to scrap it - none of my usual plugins were migrated yet and it was a little flaky. Do you think this one's solid and close to release-ready?

I'm getting sick of the massive memory leak(s) in FF 2, especially on my Mac at work. It's just a dog on that box, and it's a powerhouse machine.

I haven't used it enough to comment on stability yet, nor have I tried any plug ins.
I usually don't mess with Betas for just the reasons you mentioned, but our IT guy said "you just gotta try this" so I did (sheep that I am).

I never noticed any memory problems at all with any Windows box I've ever run FF2 in. Then again, I'm not a programmer.

I'll let you know if I find anything bad. Is there something you'd like me to try, other than installing plug ins?

Nah. I installed the beta on my laptop and am trying it out with a few of my plugins. It seems pretty stable so far, but the back button isn't coming up. I can still move back with key strokes, but that strikes me as a bug. :)
