I've seen full-release software that didn't function anywhere near as
well as this so-called beta. But there are a few bugettes they want to
fix before "the" day, which is, naturally, a good thing.
From my point of view, if you combined a handful or 2 of functions from
Opera with the bulk of Ff, added IE's ftp client, superior dynamic
refresh (1) and toolbar relocation options, you'd have the perfect
browser.
(1) Some of Moz's dynamic refresh mechanism is graphically better, but
the IE engine still leads the pack. While nothing comes even close to
Opera's "Zoom" resize feature, its actual dynamic refresh operation is
rather paleolithic.

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.
