Basically, I'm happy with my browser and have much bigger fish to fry.
Firefox does what I need it to do, and the last releases have introduced
features I like, so I assume the betas will do the same. I use IE or Chrome
for testing purposes and no other reason.

The Facebook interface, on the other hand...
