    Unfortunately providing that link before they have set up their mirrors properly is killing the servers. If only people could wait one more day....

    awesome thanks for sharing... im running it now and it seems to be much better than ie7. the spell checker for entering in form data is cool, too.

    honestly it is really, really nice. best browser i've used so far in terms of "cleanliness" and speed, although it has crashed twice on me. The session restore feature makes crashes a minimal problem anyway, though.

    They got that feature from IE.

    They got that feature from Opera.

    someone hates firefox... Did you copy and paste those two lines and change the IE to Opera? Or did you just spell 'got' wrong 2 times?

    I'm still waiting for FireFox to fix their cache problem.

    www.wolf5k.com

    Play it for a bit. Then refresh. You won't be able to see what's happening until FireFox is done replaying your previous game. If you play wolf5k and then go to IcarusIndie.com and hit the real time rendering tutorials where I render graphics using javascript and XBM you will see your game replaying and then my tutorials don't work anymore.

    So not only does it improperly cache images, it can't tell which site the images came from.

    On the flipside, IE can't even render XBM images for no good reason.

    FF 2.0 finally fixes a problem with AJAX where it wouldn't send cookies with the request when using an HTTPS connection.

    Not impressed.

    I'm a little confused about the inline spell checker. I love it, it's great, it underlines words when I spell them wrong. However, it doesn't seem to offer suggestions to correct the misspelling...

    when I right-click on a misspelling, the only option is 'add to dictionary'
