i had problems at futureshop.ca or some other similar place when iw as looking at digital cameras, but the main think about firefox for me is that it is very customixable. Also it runs a little faster than IE.

Uninstall the old one but do not allow it to delete your FireFox folder. Then, install the new one in the same place where you installed the last version, which is most likely just defaults. And voila, the beauty is, when you run RC1 for the first time, it automatically updates all your plugins/extensions to run appropriately.
