It clearly has problems by the numbers of people reporting them, but I've not had a single problem on my install (OS X). It's streets ahead of Safari on the stability and memory front which used to crash at least once a day. I do, however, make sure to restart Firefox every now and then though, so that may be saving me. The whole Firefox 1.5 thing is really weird.

No harm in testing a developer’s release, right? Or so I thought. It turned out that it was only compatible with 1 of my 39 extensions (as of 1:00 PM EST today, excluding the DOM Inspector), that being BugMeNot, which is especially unuseful compared to some of my more vital extensions. So I decided that it would be best for me to wait for the final release. I go to uninstall it from the Add/Remove Programs utility, and apparently there’s some misconfigured registry key or something that’s preventing me from uninstalling it.

The alpha does NOT lock up when netvibes is left up and running. Good enough for me. I've made the switch and am sticking with 2.0 in whatever forms come along. Hoping for full release, sooner the better. Just hope it doesnt get enough market share to become a big fat target. My second question has been answered.
