  How do the plugins work with FF3B2?
  
  I need Adblock Plus, NoScript, IETab and download statusbar to work fairly well before I test the beta.

  Adblock Plus and NoScript works with FF3B2.
  
  The rest I don't use.

  mayi.... is it safe to use?

  So far, no crashes. As long as it's for normal uses = surfing.
  
  If you are doing funny things to it, the no.

  Any other things besides surfing.

  ok...so far so good
  
  1. loading of 6000x7000 scans take about the same amount of ram
  2. changing of tabs while loading such scans is smoother than in FF2
  3. closing of 6000x7000 scan takes about 30sec to 1 min to unload in RAM. RAM gradually reduced from 240MB to 49MB
  4. raw start (with 1 homepage on localhost) take about 32MB ram
  
  One thing I dont like is they give me too much detail on the urlbar. Luckily about:config browser.urlbar gives me the property to disable it.

  Opera got problems with phpBB 3 boards. It will hang on a search if you don't change the search criteria to show topics. By default, it's set to show posts.
  
  I crashed my Opera this way.
  
  But even so, if you use a general search and produce a lot of results, it may hang for a while.
