I don't think it's just you... I'm seeing very odd things in firefox, as
well. It's not rendering CSS well at all, and it's doing so in an
unpredictable manner. Example: I go to slashdot.org, all the sidebars
display... on the left. no stories(i use the term loosely) display, but if I
hit reload, maybe they do. Sometimes this takes up to eight reloads before
it displays.

And then, sometimes it reports it can't find www.whateverdomain.tld, even
though host www.whateverdomain.tld works just fine (I've tried it with
domains I know are still cached in my DNS and domains I know are not
cached). Overall, it's a LOT less reliable than 1.0 was, here at least.
