Anyways, if you absolutely can't live without extensions or themes, then give this a few days, so the creators can release an update.

It's working smooth for me (Oh, and there is one small bug... While posting, there is some alignment issues on the right near emoticons. That's to do with the new beta though, hopefully the HL2.net web guys can fix it )


Have fun guys!

There is no extension support for this?

 

[Iced_Eagle]

There is, it's just that extensions will be broken because of a bunch of new things (updated renderer for starters). So give everything a week, and all your current extensions and themes should be ready to go on this new version.

Already FoxyTunes, AdBlock, and GMail Notifier have released updates, with more soon to come.

Finally that bug is fixed

Edit: Dammit the screen keeps shaking all the time

Go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins

Delete the .src and .png|.gif for the one you want.
