im sure they'll tweak its popup blocker soon. i've seen 2, but since they opened outside firefox in a new window, and everything i do opens in a new tab it has yet to bother me. only times i've noticed on thoes 2 i've seen was because i closed firefox and went to get out of the chair and noticed the little popup window still open. looked at it for a sec and said.. huh, we'll i'll be damned...... *alt f4* *walked away*

It's not Firefox's fault. The advertisers are just finding ways around the blockers. The same thing has been happening to me on Safari. I've NEVER had a pop-up using Safari, but in the past month or so I've had about two. I checked to make sure my block was activated and it was so the pop-ups are getting smarter. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

FireFox has become very slow on my PC. When I open it, it sometimes takes 10 seconds before the window appears. And other programs are much faster in the same situation.

I also hate it when I hit the 'back' button (or backspace) and it doesn't show the part that I was reading before, but goes back to the top of the page. It happens pretty randomly I think.

Firefox is still fairly new, and I wouldn't say it's more stable then IE just yet. Of course the popup blocker is a lot better and Firefox seems faster, but IE is still the more stable program for me.

When surfing and trying to watch gametrailers or music videos, Firefox doesn't recognize the plugins for QuickTime and Media PLayer that I've installed countless times for it...

Firefox 2.0 should be the best version released when it is.
