Yeah this version kicks arse. Also I find Bing is better than Google in some searches I used it as primary search for a while just to test it out and was quite surprised at how good it was. I'm back using the big bad G again now though.

X-Forward-For Spoofer addon doesn't work with 3.5. Did you find the xpi, rename to zip, extract, edit manifest to change version support, zip it all back up and rename back to xpi? That trick hasn't failed me since Firefox 1 alpha... :-P |

I've got it. It seems to be a little quicker, but I haven't really done a comparison.

Hmm, what's this about? I use Tab Kit addon. Sounds like I need to read what's new in 3.5, this sounds good. |

Found a few quite bad rendering issues on Slashdot, QGL seems fine though. Three quarters of the extensions I had are broken. I might try dumping the old profile and starting from scratch but no likey so far :(
