And painful in many ways...
I started using FF 2.0 when I realized Stumble doesn't work w/ Safari. Right away, I loved the "plug-in" approach... but slowly, I realized how buggy and SLOW FF 2.0 really is. And that's really unfortunate, because it's trying to do so many cool (and important) things. But... to be specific:
It doesn't handle multiple tabs well at all. As a matter of fact, when I have more than, say, 4 tabs open, it slows down my entire system. And I have a very beefy G4.
Entering text (like I am now) is extremely buggy. As is trying to use drop-down menus, or even select and copy text from pages.
So until there's some sort of major fix to these, and other documented performance issues, it's just not worth it.
And again, it's a HUGE shame because I really WANT to like FF2.0 for so many reasons.
Sigh.

Painful - ewyckoff_dotmac
I concurr!I downloaded the FF 2.0 version to my G4 laptop and tried to start using it until it just flat out died on me three times!
I gave it the three strikes, but when it struckout; I went back to Safari. I should have read your review first!
