I don't know which version I'm running, but I'm fine with it.

Dope. Yeah i'm using it right now, and have been usin it since .7 was out. The only browser that stands a chance against it is Opera. The thing with browsers such as Avant and MyIE(maxthon) is that they're simply SHELLS for I.E. They're still based on the I.E engine, so they basically add some bells and whistles to Internet Explorer. You're still surfing with a browser that is full of security holes, exploits and stability issues. You're still susecptable to spyware, trojans, browser hijacks, msexploits and crashes. Check it, my brother uses I.E on his account, and I always use Firefox. Now I routinely scan for viruses, and i've lost count on how many times i've picked up msexploits and scripts in my brother's I.E folders. I also actively scan for malware, and i've gotten NO spyware since i've used Firefox. I used the same spyware prevention techniques as I did when I used I.E, but suprisngly I always had malware while I was using I.E for just regular browsing, and absolutley none when I use Firefox.
By the way, for those upgrading, I suggest that you uninstall the previous version first(your profile folder will be intact so you won't loose any bookmarks or anything) and then install the new one. Also when you do install it, a lot of your previous extensions will be disabled. So you will need to install new versions, just browse Firefox's extension database.

i would. What you got is a beta, and probably has some bugs.
The final version is a stable version.
