OK, just playing with this now.  Its fast, and i mean as fast as Safari without having to put up with mouse buttons not working.  I like :)

Memory usage?

Not that Im bothered if it uses 500meg as most people have several gig these days, just want to see if theyve solved the mystery ;)

2mb less of an install then the last version with more features, better and more detailed program control over what runs what from the web, tweaked interface seems ok
I removed it due to no plugins and extensions working but seems allright

I might actually switch to it, Im near breaking point with Firefox 2s bugs.

ok, then a few days with it on both XP and Vista systems.  Its quick (one i changed my DNS servers).  Its also pretty stable.  One problem that annoys me slightly is that its not compatible with Log Me In in any way, shape or form.  Ive reported the bug, and its likely one they will want to work on.  Other than the irritation that the dictionary is a per usual crap because they dont have a "British English" one that actually has the correct spellings in it.  "colour" for instance shows that up.  

Decent enough though, and the memory leak doesnt seem to show up.  Ad-Block plus is working fine though, and thats the only extension I use.
