I like it. It's always been kinda slow on my machine, but I <3 the extensions! (Yeah, see, I just misspelled that, and FF fixed it FTW!!!)

I don't like the tabs now though, you can't close them by using the one button on the right, you have to move you mouse to each one individually. Of course, you can use alt-f4, but that's no excuse to make the user-interface more cumbersome.

for closing one individual tab, it does make the most sense, but if all I really wanted was just one tab, a new window wouldn't be much different. I should be able to clear a whole section of related articles in a second, not have to go between each. It really would be best to have both though, like if you click on the drop-down arrow at the right it closes them like the x used to, and if you move your mouse over it, the list appears. W/E, though, I guess I'll just change it back.

I don't think that Firefox deserves being upped to 2.0. There just aren't that many changes.

*This post brought to you by Opera 9.02.

same here. BTW, opera has had that feature since v9. and that has been out for quite a while. but why respect opera? after all, they only brought tabs ten freakin' month before FF! use opera!

I hear 2.0 ripped off a lot of stuff from Opera.
It seems more like they just integrated a few of the most popular extensions. The fact that they were probably Opera features people wanted in FF is irrelevant :p;)
Well you can look at it both ways.

Now what Opera needs to copy from Firefox is image scaling and control + F highlight all.

Plus Opera does something very annoying (and it always has) when you are at the bottom of the page and press space bar to go down the page, it clicks the first link on the page. This is annoying in forums and I always scroll with the space bar.
