Summary: Great Browser but lacks a few things
Comments:
Whilst firefox is undoubtedly faster than most browsers today,
especially the one tested, I find it lacks a few needed items, I would
like to run work peripherals and applications from home and the website
that I go to isn't supported by firefox as would safari. Sometimes page
loads are quick but too quick that all data and items to be loaded fail
to load, as a result I have to refresh the page once or twice, not click
efficient by any stretch. I definitely enjoy using the tabbed features
as the previous browser has, but the X that you click to close tabs
should all stay in the same spot so that you can click and close
multiple tabs, that is only accomplished with the first few tabs but
then when it gets down to the last 2 or so the x moves with the "tab"
and your click efficiency goes down; very minor but a static tab closer
would be helpful. There hasn't been too many issues that I found with
the browser, it is clean, light, simple, and fast. With my broadband
speeds I like a fast browser to go with it, it's much like a GTI,
perfect package light small, nimble, fast, tight. There would be a few
tweaks to enhance the experience before I think it would be officially
ready. Thanks.

That is the behavior that was in Firefox 2 and you can get it back.
type in about:config into the location bar,
Read/ignore/whatever the warning don't forget to checkmark the dialog item so you don't
have to put up with the nonsense the next time.
filter on closeButtons
select browser.tabs.close.Buttons then right click and modify to 3
