I miss the two engine model (Gecko and Trident). I don't like the look of Outlook webmail with the Firefox engine. 8.1 was a great productivity tool for me. Now the nads have been cutoff with 9, sadly, so I'm sticking with 8.x. I also auto login features of 8.x. And hey, where did the cool toolbar features go?
The one plus with using using the FF engine, I no longer have the BBoD problem which is persistant with all versions of 8.x with the IE engine. BBoD occurs when typing in webmail, such as MS Outlook, where hitting the back key in the text window is the same has hitting the Back Button on the browser. It's a hard coding problem that had to be fixed with a hard coded disabling script by a 3rd party. It trained me to back arrow and use the delete key.

Gecko is of course more standards compliant than Trident, so either:
a) Outlook webmail is supposed to look like that; Netscape/Firefox is actually rendering it correctly, or
b) Microsoft have designed it so that it looks better in IE than other browsers.
Take your pick, they're all solid options.
If you must use Trident, have a look at the IETab extension for Firefox.

Wow. I have been a loyal Firefox user since it was in its first beta, and I must say that I am so blown away by the new Netscape browser, I can seriously consider using something other than Firefox for the first time in years.
It looks great, it renders faster than I expected, and the built-in extra features are fantastic.
Congratulations, development team! You did a great job.

Me too. I missed the built in voting and such, but the browser is still very solid as is (and probably more mainstream). Now for Netscape Mercury.
