    It takes a second to "think"... But then everything appears at once.. Nice.

    I have a question about the latest build... When I click links outside of Firefox (Outlook, MSN, etc) They load in an existing window, not a new one It didn't used to do that. How do I get them to load in a new window?

    That's amazing, although I always thought that IE was slower than FF.

    what a browser....you just ask it what you want

    "about:config"

    I just tried "about:myfinances" but it's not that clever
