Wow! I'm testing Mozilla 1.4rc2 (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/6447), and it's very fast to load pages and more css and javascript compatible! More than Safari!!!

And, of course, I installed the Pinstripe theme and it looks great too!!!

Pretty fast all right, but there are a couple of sites that Safari handles MUCH faster.
I do like having a contextual menu item to "Block images from this server".

I like the "Properties" option in contextual menu. It appears when you click an image, and tell you important info about size, dimensions, etc.

I've noticed the speed too. The only thing is that Mozilla rendering keeps misplacing running applets on the screen, putting them over portions of the page and sometimes over the window bars. I have to close the window and reload the page in a new window. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yeah I donwloaded it too today (to test my site in Mozilla) and I must say it's even faster than Camino, which is already faster than Safari).

I use Mozilla as my main browser...its very fast
and I too love the Pinstripe theme.

Just 2 problems keep it from being my only browser:

1. Still won't run Windows Media Player content
2. Has java problems with gay.com, for which I logged a bug with them
