Ok why is it a preview release and not just a release?!?!? Is this just a Beta but they felt like being 'different'?

All the releases so far have been technology previews.

Hmm never noticed and been using the thing for 4 months :/

preview release, generaly means the code is 'frozen' (no new features will be added till the final release) so only bugs get fixed from now till release

Ben Goodger's Blog (http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/006075.html) will tell you why they decided to call it a Preview Release rather than a Release Candidate or anything else.

It's rather spinky, though. Not a lot of bugs left now, which is nice

They just need to make it work with IE only websites

Ch3t, is that a problem using FindAsYouType? Someone on MozillaZine was reporting similar issues related to the new Find Toolbar. They need to add a check for the DesignMode property or whatever it is. I think it's a known bug

Oooh. Natwest works with it!

Naw, it told me that I had to use IE to log in

This might be a very stupid question, but where is the download button for it?
