Mmm, shiny.
Adblock and NoScript work already, other extensions can be tricked in to installing by adding extensions.checkCompatibility (Boolean, False) in the about:config page, or by installing the Nightly Tester Tools extension.

Seems nice and fast, and installed very nicely over the top of my old installation.

No official del.ic.ious addon support.
It's very useful but they suck at keeping it up-to-date.

Makes it sound like some risqué/deviant sexual act. Enjoying a beta is like going dogging with Stan Collymore or getting spanked next to Max Mosley.

Just trick it, the extension seems to work perfectly well.

Soo isn't a beta not supposed to replace a stable release? I mean I had a 3.0.10 and mine updated itself to 3.5 without actually asking whether I want to risk it.

You've never seen the about:config page? And here I thought most techy-types knew about it...

I didn't know about the robot one. Shame the button just disappears without doing anything.
