This application is not ready to be included as the default browser.
Java does not work with this version. I have attempted to use all 4 
types of java, and none of them worked to bring up a MMOLRPG  that I 
frequent daily.
The new Firefox looks good, and has some nice features that I'm sure 
some individuals will enjoy. The Flash plugin installs without issue. 
But without the Sun-Java 5 or 6, or even the other, non-Sun java 
programs working properly, our target audience, the linux newcomer with 
less capable machines, will be frustrated by having to un-install 
firefox version 3, and install firefox-2, install the java version of 
their choice (minus the  plugin) and manually add the plug-in

Or, they will give up

Just my 2 cents
