Haven't used it enough yet. I was impressed that the auto update worked without any issue though.

The only thing I noticed that DownThemAll! wasn't compatible anymore :/

Need to wait for an updated version. Anyway, every new Firefox release is welcome.

Sometimes I would think current releases of Firefox isn't truly worthy of a public release. It's still somewhere in the beta stadium, especially concidering the memory leaks.

The memory usage is still a little on the heavy side, despite a noticable improvement.

Yeah, I'm seeing an improvement in terms of Firefox not becoming a complete vacuum in a matter of moments, but it's still sucking up memory after it's open awhile.
