With 1.0.7 I have had some problems, one was not being able to use the "edit" functionality on this forum but I have noticed it is possible as long as I "right-click" and open in a new page or tab, but nothing happens if I just click the link. Also the "simleycons" box on the right of an edit screen is out of proportion and sometimes overlaps the editing area. On the whole there are no major problems that I have comes across and I am quite happy with FF. The only reason I keep IE at home, is because FF won't let me play any Yahoo games !!

A new, improved Firefox!! Great!! Can hardly wait to go home and upgrade!

I have had the same probelms as Diz. I figured out the right click thing on the non-functioning edit key, but for some reason, most of the time the edit key works fine; it only occasionally requires the right-click, new page treatment.

The problem with the smileys is annoying, but no big deal. With Firefox, the pages come up a litttle faster, and the pics are way faster, and going forward and backward is way, way faster.

There are some sites on which you can't use Firefox, so then I use IE, but given a choice, I choose Firefox every time!!
