I downloaded it-so what's so great?
performance and better memory management, each tab runs with its own process (in task manager) so if it crashes, it only crashes the tab you are using. Gtalk, Gmail etc run as applications, so they also behave like a regular app. You can rearrange tabs and even tear them off to its own window and dock them.
Also in the memory management issue Firefox consumes ALOT of memory when using several tabs... when you close say 3 of them the memory decreases, however, if you make only 1 more tab the memory consumption returns as if the last 3 were opened.
This is still beta software, so it will have issues but so far for me everything draws correctly.
