Anyone else using this? Just wondered what anyone using it thought about it.
Im liking the new address bar list, and im also liking the facts its a fair bit quicker than Beta 1.
The bad points at the moment if the loss of the "go" button at the end of the address bar, and the fact the resume to new sessions doesnt work. Though I can see the second issue being resolved pretty quickly.

some of the stupid web apps at work dont refresh, but if you hit the go button they log you right back in again. Was useful, because I now have to actually log in when the ticketing system times me out rather than being lazy :(

I have web based stuff to work with that does this, so instead of pressing F5 I alt-d to focus the address bar and then just press enter. Works for me!

Firefox is a brilliant browser accept, it doesnt save you Favorites like IE does.

If you have not saved it first, can you still import, like you can with IE, also can you remember the name of the plugin for file transfer.
