Looks nice. And quick. I'm contemplating using it in place of Chrome.

The interface is almost exactly the same as in Opera.

having some problems with it.  It will not play any youtube videos with advertisements at the beginning.  I tried clearing cache and turning off popup blocker adblock and everything else I can think of.  Still no good.

I had to spend minutes configuring the toolbars to get it to look as close to FF3 as possible. And it still feels a bit odd.
Tabs on top? Fuck off, shitty default settings.

Unless you're using the HTML5 beta, this is most likely an issue with your Flash plugin and not with Firefox. YouTube plays just fine for me with Gnash 0.8.9.

Anyway, I've been using Iceweasel 4 since beta 12. I think it's a really nice improvement on the 3.x series, although for some reason the GNU/kFreeBSD version uses up extortionate amounts of CPU time (the GNU/Linux version is fine, though).

If you like Firefox 3.x, you could always just use Debian squeeze. Iceweasel 3.5 is going to be supported in it until at least 2014.

I haven't gotten a chance to fool with it too much.  Though I was going to try reinstalling flash next.  I was thinking it was an adblock or popup block that was doing it.  Any video that does not have that advertisement at the beginning works fine, IE is able to play the videos fine.  I was thinking of trying out html5 beta but I haven't really had a chance to research it too much yet.

I tried using the HTML5 beta, but videos actually play better using Gnash than using WebM over HTML5.

I'm not interesting in spending the majority of time forever installing Debian-related things.

IE is outdated, slow, and glitchy.  Chrome's a lot faster and has a lot more features.  Just sayin'.

"Outdated" as in lacking features that are currently offered by most other browsers.  Doesn't matter if there's a 'new version' or not.

No, I certainly meant what I said.

If I released a "new version" of DOS, it would be "new", but still outdated.

I didn't create my own operating system, I updated an old one.  However, due to the limitations of DOS, even if I "updated" it, it would still be outdated (compared to other operating systems).  I'm not sure why you're so confused here.

There is not, nor has there ever been, an operating system named "DOS." Therefore, if you released an operating system called DOS, it would be the first such operating system to be released.

Yet if this new operating system lacked the features of any modern browser OS, it would still be outdated.

...which is my whole point.

Windows 95 was a notable exception seeing as Microsoft made Internet Explorer an integrated part of that operating system.
