Nightly Tester Tools does NOT work with Firefox 3.6b2. That method of overriding compatibility will not work.

I just don't get the whole "Built-in support for Personas" thing. I thought it meant it came with Personas preinstalled, but that's not the case.
Anybody know what it means?
Other than the Personas confusion, this beta seems great, thanks for letting me know VG!

@DarkPotato have you actually tried to go to the personas site and wear a skin?
Doc
@DarkPotato: It means that Personas support has become an official part of the software, no extension needed.
And VG, what's with posts ending with "Download NOW"? Do we come here just to be ordered around? Letting us know it's available for download is good enough

firefox is great,
but this beta should have an option to disable
windows 7 taskbar feature which is
the tabs showing in every thumb preview
which i find annoying just imo. ^^
