		<description>What irks me, is that, on my tuned up Firefox 1.5.x

 - I never once saw a popup
 - It took a while to load (many extensions)

Now, Firefox 2.0 because my HDD died (I would never have upgraded else, I had tab management)

 - I saw popups immediately, people using onClicks to trigger ads, NEVER got past my previous FF
 - Seems to take longer to load and I have only 1 extension installed now (download videos)

What really @&#38;EY*&#38;YE@ me off, is that, despite all this trite crap that bloggers spew forth, there is no discussion about FF2, and nobody else as startled as I was that popups now work.

FF is going to hell, too many dev's jumped on and too much crap is being concentrated on. Putting non-standard launch icons may give the person who decided upon is a little trip to see their work going out, but pisses off 90% of the people who want to use the shortcut like a normal shortcut.

I do like the new tab system, but there are some really annoying aspects that just rile me.</description>
