because i'm trying out a public beta preview? maybe i'll dry hump his leg, just for you, since he lives here. i've been a huge FF fan pretty much since it's inception, but am constantly annoyed at the memory leak, although it is much better with the latest release. not a big deal to keep my options open.

This is great IMO - I especially like the tab thumbnail preview. Opera owns.

I'll check it out. Never had a problem with Opera, just wasn't going to pay for it. :)
