First, it does not let me select a link and open in another tab. I have to click and link then go back to the original page and click another, so on and so forth. It's very slow and annoying. It crashes often and is generally unstable compared to 1.5x versions I have problems with FF2 and I am with many extensions. First, it does not let me select a link and open in another tab.

I rarely experience crashes, but often irritations -- mouse click unpredictably and often quits working and, on a dual-monitor setup, address bar dropdowns show up on the wrong monitor. It's not enough to make me drop back to 1.5, though. The Apple people should come out of their cave and share the crash report data they’ve been collecting from users.

That bug was fixed (well, worked around) on the branch for Firefox 2.0.0.x a few days ago, so it should be fixed in Firefox 2.0.0.1 when it comes out. You might try downloading a build from that branch now instead of waiting for Firefox 2.0.0.1 to see if that fix helped.

Been removing extensions too but that did not cause problems. I have a feeling that it's caused by other installed software. Not sure though...
