This has been discussed in previous threads, but I still don't mind repeating myself: I love the new address bar and smart bookmarks/places.

Yeah, it's why I kept using Beta 3 even though it was a little sluggish. Beta 4 has fixed all of that though and it's super fast now.

Holy shiat it is fast. :Q

How the eff have they tweaked it to be so much better?

I always tweak mine for speed (incl. this install of 2.0.0.12), but it's nowhere close to as snappy as 3 beta 4.

I'm impressed.

Tried it to check on extension compatability, but there's still too many out of commission. Call back when Paste & Go works.

You can disable the extension check and most all old extensions work.

This compares to IE 8 B1, where only 50% of websites actually work in the browser (you have to use IE7 Compat mode most of the time). WTF is wrong with them?

The OSX default theme looks hideous and I can't find a theme to make it look like the old version.

When I opened FF 2.0.0.12 back up, it had reset all of my cookies/prefs/etc, like I'd never used it before.

Pain in the ass so far.
