    I was using FF earlier on but it's just not 'up there' for me.

    - Scrolling is jerky and slow, even with 'smooth scrolling' on.
    - Minimal ability to configure toolbar buttons (using a window that's unfeasably large for it's content).
    - Can't move the toolbars, either.
    - Another "let's see the whole url" address bar.
    - Can't remove the search box.
    - Have to click twice on the address bar before part of it can be selected.
    - 2 separate windows for allowed and blocked cookies and no ability to copy/paste between.
    - Download Manager. What for? Who downloads so much from the web they need a manager, these days?

    I just couldn't forget I was using it.
    Shame, 'cos I really wanted to like it. Again.

    Those are all untrue.
    Just right click the toolbar in a blank area and click 'Customize' and you can easily just drag things around the toolbar, remove them from it and add other stuff.

    The rest of your points I guess i'd agree with, although the download manager I don't mind since it has pause and resume which IE doesn't.

    My bad, I didn't realise that the address bar & search box could be moved when the customise window was up; I'm used to the 'on the fly' arranging ability of IE6.
    This makes it more interesting.
    Now, I wonder if I can get Acrobat's & Outpost's IE integration to work in FF?

    Acrobat works fine in firefox but no idea about outpost.
    There could be an extension out there for it anyway, if it's anything a lot of people would use.
