I love it, especially the multiple tabs and the download manager. WRT it's beta status, there seems to be a developing trend, especially in Open Source, for software to remain "in beta" for years. In the case of Firefox, it's because they have a very clear roadmap with milestones. In their case, beta doesn't mean "buggy", it means "not all the planned features of ver 1.0 are in place yet". I've certainly found it to be very stable. -- Lexacorp Ltd http://www.lexacorp.com.pg Information Technology Consultancy, Software Development,System Support.
