"Pathetically slow download"
Version: Mozilla Firefox beta 7.0b4
Pros
I've yet to see any.
Cons
Another resource hog, just like previous versions.
Needs add-ons and plug-ins to provide true usability.
Download is throttled, never got over 50Kbps, averaged at only 30Kbps.Summary
Makes me wonder if FF is now under MS control. Seems to be full of bugs just like before, crashes when used with some video players, still has horrible Java issues.
