I've been using the FireFox Pre-release for over 2 weeks now, and
overall it is fantastic. The download is small (<5M), installation
is fast. With cross-platform WYSIWYG in-browsers such as TinyCME, It
has (almost*) completely replaced IE. I would recommend it strongly to
anyone who is tired of spyware, pop-unders, and hotfixes …

Issues so far:

1. In one case FireFox crashed during installtion, while importing
   configurations from IE. Firefox ran without a problem after that,
   except I had to manually importing configurations. Looks like the
   problem was with importing saved passowrds; importing Favorite passed
   without a glitch.
2. The built-in search bar uses the current page to display search
   results. There is no option to display results in a new Tab or Page.
3. Find function does not search texts in <TextArea>. Which is a problem when I use TikiWiki a lot.
4. The browser takes CTRL-B etc. for its own functions, which
   interferes with in-browser editing. Need to be able to customize
   short-cut assignment.
