Anyone using FireFox 1.5 beta 1

Has anybody tried it yet? Any problems? Do you like it?

And most importantly, should I upgrade?

Will probably upgrade soon but would be nice to hear some comments on it first.

 

I posted about this a few days ago on these forums and here.

It looks good and is a fair bit faster, but presently only a few plugins work which is a bit of a killer for me.

 

Well it is made available for testing purposes only. I wouldn't upgrade just yet if you have some extensions! I am waiting for final release

 

I'm waiting for final too...
Most of my ext. doesn't work in beta...

 

I do only run GreaseMonkey and G toolbar, and I'm not dependent on any of them so I might just upgrade despite your cautions

 

Longtime FF user, but I'm gonna wait a few weeks, too many extensions.

 

I tried it. It's faster. But since I don't get the Google Toolbar yet, I downgraded.

 

I check the G-toolbar about once a week so it ain't that much of a problem to fire up IE those times. I was actually more concerned with stability and such. The faster back/forward navigation and the ability to reposition tabs is something I've missed since switching from Opera (actually the only things I've missed).

I'll upgrade this evening.

 

That was my exact opinion too.

 

I am running it and it seems okay to me, it has not crashed or anything yet.

 

Ditto previous comments about extensions. I hope the memory leak issue is addressed, since FF's footprint can get HUGE over time.

 

They should have fixed at least part of the memory leaks, shouldn't they. I agree that FF can "grow on you".

Off to download now.

 

i think ill wait for the release version.

 

They fixed the "adsense scroll bug" That one was quite irritating.

 

really?, then its worth to have a look...

 

And you can reposition the tabs, I know it's a dork feature but I like it. When you work in the browser all the days you want some tabs to be in the "right" position. And the preformance when you hit back/forward is OK now.
