Quick review

The good
Free, RSS flexibility, help for IE converts, faster than previous Firefox versions, adaptable
The bad
Release Candidate, not all plugins working, doesn't seem much faster than IE7, Windows users need to add extras for Windows Update and file management
Verdict
For existing Firefox users, this is an easy upgrade, but you might want to wait till all your plugins work. For IE users, Firefox is worth running for a week before making a decision
