Got it this morning, however their servers must be getting hammered because I can't get to any of the Extensions or Theme pages.

The first bug I've noticed is that the text entry fields are f#cked up depending on which font you have set in the prefs. The cursor is always 4 or 5 spaces behind where you are typing, which makes it nearly impossible to edit anything.

just downloaded it for my parents PC. it certainly much better than IE. did find any bugs yet.

i just realized that FFX will never take over, my parents didnt even realize that IE is an application that can be substituted with another browser. the issue is not to convince to use FFX instead of IE. the issue is to explain what is a browser. for many Yahoo=internet. you know what i mean?

Is there any way to preview the themes? I can access the site fine but didn't want to clutter the browser up by having to install them before I see them. Thanks.

Some of the themes have a link on the page to the authors web site, or a direct link to a preview. However, the themes on Mozilla's web site are not the complete list, just the ones Moz chooses to show off.

I use GrApple (Graphite) which you can download here. The first theme preview on his web page shows off the SAGE RSS news extension... and gee, lookie who he has listed in his RSS feeds. Ivan and I are flattered!!!

Do a Google search for more themes, there are tons of them.

Okay guys, are you going to feature any FireFox bits? Pretty popular and available on lots of platform. But so much to learn.

If I say pretty please?

:D

but before that, can someone please tell me why the Flash is so freakin slow on the Mac version of Firefox? :evil:

Firefox is growing! Look at the stats! Netscape Navigator stands for Firefox basically. It's been less than 10% few month ago!
