...and keep Firefox 4 b8! FF4 is rock steady, been using it for a week now with no issues. I noticed that unlike installing IE9 beta, it doesn't uninstall your previous version. It's (FF 3.6) still there in my Program files as Firefox 3.6 and I can use either version, even simultaneously. But I think I'll just keep using the beta. Loving it. Looks and feels like the best of IE9 and chrome rolled together with all the traditional loveliness that only FF has. Anyone else impressed with FF4? Anyone having issues? Apart from the fact that hardly any of the old add-ons work with it :cry:. At least adblock and flashblock work ;)
 
I tried IE9, but had numerous issues with it, the oddest being it caused question marks to appear before the reply text when replying to a mail in windows live mail 2011 (I know! Like :wtf: go figure. It's a 'known issue').

MS's definition of beta and Mozilla's would seem to be rather different. MS's RTM stuff has more issues than others' alpha code - ain't that true.

As for other browsers - I'll leave them , thanks all the same. I just want to do my internet thing as quickly and as securely and as painlessly as possible without all the bloat and waiting of IE. As long as it's pleasing on the eye and stable and quick then I'm happy. FF4 ticks those boxes now, IE9 doesn't.
