I have been using the latest Firefox beta at home and at work for the last couple of days now and so I thought I’d write a brief review. Having downloaded the Nightly Tester Tools extension I find that all of my current extensions seem to work without modification and that it is pretty much business as usual with the user interface

The feeling I have is that the current beta probably isn’t worth installing unless, like me, you are really interested in trying the latest software just because it is new to see what it can do . I think that, although the spell checking is a nice to have, there just aren’t enough new features for the end user to warrant the occasional crash.

I find that I can be working another application and all of a sudden Firefox decides to die for no apparent reason even though I wasn’t doing anything.

I think that the real benefits to this release of Firefox will be when the extension and theme developers get their heads around all of the new features and begin to take advantage of them.
