UPDATE: Its fully compatible with Windows 7 so all Windows 7 Superbar/Taskbar features such as Aero Peek, Thumbnail Previews and Jumplists work just like IE8. Thanks to Bob for mentioning it...

This is excellent. Other than WinFox (which I don't need considering this is integrated with 7), all of my add-ons except one are still compatible without problem

You forgot to mention that you can use all the new Windows 7 Superbar/taskbar features such as aero peek, thumbnail previews and jumplists in Firefox 3.6 beta 1 like IE8.

"Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness 'and startup time.'"
Yummy! I don't know why but ever since I downloaded the last version, came out yesterday I think, Firefox has been taking like 5 seconds to start, hopefully this does fix it.

I still can't believe how well its working for a beta. I downloaded it this afternoon for my Linux machine. All I had to do was extract the folder somewhere and run it. Doesn't affect current Firefox install at all.
Thanks for the link Vishal.
