    I shall give it a try. Have been using Firefox as my default browser for close to 5 years. No matter what chrome, opera, and safari score in acid tests, I find Firefox to be the fastest still and perhaps the best in terms of user friendliness. However given the recent problems in 3.6/win 7 64 bit, IE has got an opportunity to make it again. At least they have promised a lot (at least in improving their test results).

    On a side note, I liked Firefox 3.7 alpha 2 (released last week), but had to uninstall it because it does not support many addons. One add-on was a deal breaker: no compatibility with new tab home or tab mix plus. I want my new tabs to open to home page (google) rather than blanks. Anyone aware of such an addon for Firefox 3.7 alpha 2/3.
