Seems noticeably faster than the beta 4.

Yea seemed that way for me too. Kinda cool how they added different color schemes for vista and xp for beta 4 and newer.

Is this a seperate install than my current FF2? Or will it overwrite it?

just installed Beta 4 a few days ago and wasn't impressed at all. the speed is horrible compared to IE on Vista. hopefully this new one is better but not sure if I'll bother trying. I hadn't used ff in a while and only decided to check out 3b4 to see if it was any more remarkable than FF2.

Does anyone know how to get Messenger to open email in Firefox rather than IE? I've tried d/l'ing StuffPlug, but when I set it to open in my default browser (FF3), I get this page:

Lame, none of the add ons work! The new theme isn't very eye-catching. Also, when you type in an address and it tries to suggest things, that's just troublesome. FFb5 is still fast for me.

Stuffplug is all I know. I just use windows live mail now, it sync well with my WM6 phone over the air. Plus it has my hotmail and POP3 accounts in in the one spot...
