[AccessD] OT: New Browser

To all the firefox users...

The two reasons I decided against that browser were that reviewers said you
had to find and install add-0ns to make it fully functional and that
upgrades hosed those add-ons and made you re-install them.  Also some kind
of bugs just recently (in the last month) making it flaky.

Any comments on that?

Firefox.  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.
