Five million Firefoxes released into the wild

In a story at Silicon.com , entitled Five million Firefoxes released into the wild the news that over 5 million people have downloaded the FireFox preview version. Make that 5 million and 1 - I've downloaded it and am very, very happy with it.

No, Firefox is not perfect, it loads a bit slowly, it has crashed a few times and on some web sites, it's not useable (Microsoft's Office Update site, for example, will not work with Firefox - it requires IE). Despite these issues, I find FireFox superior in a number of ways. I've been keeping a list of all the things I like and when I get a chance, I'll post this list (and my list if things that have gone wrong).
