This makes sense -- I'm still on Beta 6 despite the bugginess, but it definitely is buggy. I keep trying to customize the button layout (like adding a history button, or moving the new tab button) and it mysteriously reverts parts of the layout to default when I change it, but not every time, and not every button. Odd. Also, Windows Live Mail is nearly unuseable. The main reason I'm sticking with it for now is Panorama. Bound the hotkey for that to one of my extra mouse buttons (mine has ~9). As far as I'm concerned there's no other way to do tabs/grouping anymore. The big thing I wish they'd do is lazy load the tab groups that weren't active the last time it got closed. I have about 10 tabs open now at all times, and it doesn't make sense to try to load them all at once. Panorama could basically merge tabs/bookmarks/history all in one and revolutionize the UI, but for now it's still awesome but kind of slow. edit: I just turned on HW acceleration (windows only sorry), and the performance boost is pretty amazing.

I have been using "Firefox 4.0b8pre" (with Jaegermonkey!) for weeks. It's really been a pleasant experience, fast load times, nice UI, and few if any major bugs. Perhaps I just caught a good nightly, but nonetheless, this news then comes as surprising to me. I worry about delaying the Firefox release until next year (where FF4 seems as much about catching up to the competition as it is new features), but if it allows this chart to cross the green line, then I'd say that would be some huge bragging rights: http://arewefastyet.com/ http://arewefastyet.com/

  I'm not sure what threshold of bugginess would need to be crossed before I give up this Panorama feature, but it's pretty damn high.

  I'm also using Minefield 4.0b8pre as my primary browser and always look for new "nightly" update with hoping it solves the annoying bug: location bar doesn't synchronize with the displaying page/tab. Other than that, FF 4 has a very nice looking UI and it's fast.
