CNET Editors' review
The final release of Mozilla Firefox offers enough features to make you rethink Internet Explorer. You can easily create toolbars by dragging and dropping icons. Live Bookmarks turn RSS feeds into something that acts like a bookmarks folder. You can type Google search queries right into the address bar or use the built-in search box. The program displays the page source in a new window, using indents and color-coded tags like an HTML editor. You can view your bookmarks or history in the Sidebar area, which lets you quickly revisit your favorite sites. Though the browser hides its advanced settings, you can still build modules using XML, CSS, JavaScript, and even C . The program includes such tools as a JavaScript debugger and a DOM viewer.
At 55MB for 25 windows, the browser uses fewer resources than Internet Explorer but more than Opera. The built-in pop-up blocker works better than Opera's, IE's, and those of most paid standalone utilities. However, the download manager is still underdeveloped. Though the final release version vastly improves stability, we noticed occasional reluctance to maximize in response to Alt Tab commands. People who want more security than IE provides should look at Mozilla Firefox.

"Wait until this is out at least a year before using it."
Version: Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3
Pros
Fast for some purposes.
Cons
Breaks all extensions and is unusable as all buttons, toolbars, etc. no longer work as in 3x. I spent weeks simply trying to get 4 to work, now 5 is out, also unusuable.
Summary
DO NOT download until they've had it out at least a year and have fixed it!
AT the least, Mozilla should have made all extensions from 3x work with this, out the door.
They also never should have removed functions needed, nor added un-needed ones that were formerly available as add-ons anyway for those who wanted them (such as tiny menu that became the firefox button in 4.)
Worthless. Reinstall 3.x
