"When Firefox launched in beta release five years ago, it burst on the open-source browser scene like a young Elvis Presley - slim, sexy and dangerous. Since then it has attracted millions of users, generally set the agenda for browser development and unseated Microsoft's IE as the de facto monopoly in the field. But, with Firefox 3.0 poised for release later this year, the 'IE killer' is in danger of morphing into an early Fat Elvis, if increasing numbers of die-hard fans turned reluctant critics are any guide."

Not to disagree, but I have been watching Mozilla development from the day that Netscape released their code. And I swear that for 3 years whenever anyone criticized Mozilla in any way, the response from the community was "Use the latest nightlies! They're great!".
Something horrible must happen to the "wonderful" nightly code when it is released in a stable version.
It's weird.
