I've had the problem on OSX where it just stops loading things after a short time because it used up all of my memory. I believe it's not that just opening it has memory issues, it's that browsing for a hour or two makes it open up new memory allocations without clearing up the old ones and making them available.

It runs okay but I only see a slight increase in speed and nothing outstanding compared to 2.0.0.12.

ok, it does seem faster than version 2 so far.
however, does it have anything like that cleartype thing that IE 7 uses to make the text clearer and nicer?
yeah...the quickness didn't last very long...as soon as i loaded up like 3 add-ons, its back to like 20 second load times.

not for me. downloaded it and tried it out. opera is faster by several seconds to me on the anandtech home page. tested 3 times. each time i cleared the cache.
I've only used it for a few minutes, but I don't like it in comparison to IE8 Beta 1, emulating IE7.
It loads pages faster and the address bar is neat, but actually manuevering around a page seems slower than IE to me.

it's easy to make any extension work with any version of firefox:
download extension (.xpi) to your harddrive. open .xpi file in winrar. drag install.rdf file from inside .xpi to a temp location on your harrdrive. open .rdf file in notepad. find the min and max version part and edit to make the max version 4.0 or whatever. save changed .rdf file. drag .rdf file back to winrar's open .xpi file to update it. drag updated .xpi file onto firefox. it'll install the extension and work now.
it takes like 8 seconds once you get used to it.
