Terrible usability issues on Win7. Almost all of the menus have a problem with flickering and/or disappearing elements.
Are your graphics drivers up-to-date? edit: to add, I'm on 64-bit Win7 too -- I've been using nightlies for over a year and haven't seen anything of this sort.

Okay, so it sounds like you misunderstand the process of software development. You can't completely rewrite various subsystems for performance and fix bugs at the same time. There is more going on than just 'adding new features'. New software is bound to be unstable while it is in development. If you have a problem with this, do not download beta versions. Personally, I haven't had any issues at all with stability or…
(Since I don't particularly care about my karma at the moment, I guess I'll continue beating this dead horse :-)) And here's my snarky rejoinder: Hey look! There are bug fixes and new features in the latest beta. How did they do that? Perhaps they misunderstand the software development process! What you have described is some ideal model of the development process based on something you think should happen. It doesn'…
As far as the final product is concerned, I'd bet that YouTube does have higher priority than WebGL. But that isn't the current focus of development.
Firefox 4 is a memory hog compared to Firefox 3.6. Worse, it leaks memory like a sieve. After a bit of browsing, it is using 350 MB with just a single tab open. Firefox 3.6 uses half that much memory on the same machine.
I hate saying this but Firefox 4 is shaping to be a disaster of epic proportions. The Javascript benchmarks are all nice and good but dear Mozilla folk you people also need to write a garbage collector for your implementation of Javascript that actually collects garbage.

Turns out, in Safe Mode it was perfectly well behaved, and after hitting the 'reset all preferences to defaults' button, Firefox not only takes less memory, but is snappier too.
Even more impressive is their HTML5, WebGL, audio and video demo linked to in the post: http://videos-cdn.mozilla.net/serv/mozhacks/flight-of-the-na...

View this demo in Firefox 4, then view IE9's demo in IE9: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/Galactic/Defau... These demos really demonstrates the difference between Firefox 4 and IE9.

I love and respect Firefox for showing the world there was a better way. But they are the Freud to a much more mature approach at this point.
I can't use Firefox without wanting to injure myself within five minutes. It is dead to me.
I don't mean to be "that guy", but how is anyone seriously enthused about Firefox anymore when Chrome is on the scene? I love and respect Firefox for showing the world there was a better way.
