    Trying out Firefox 4 in VirtualBox. Had to download four different Add-Ons to make the UI slightly less stupid. Two of those were for the new Add-Ons Manager, which still sucks. To reiterate: I installed two Add-Ons to improve the ADD-ON MANAGER, and there is still room for improvement. That said, assuming all of my "required" add-ons actually function (have only tested Adblock Plus and Tab Mix Plus so far), I'm still going to go ahead and upgrade my Windows Firefox install.

        @thecupcakinator I need a private web server to dick around with. I don't trust Windows to do the job properly, and I'm too set in my Windows-user ways to permanently switch to Linux. VirtualBox allows me to run both at the same time, AND ensure that my sandbox server is only accessable from MY computer.

      @puzzlemint Two add-ons that have yet to work for me that I miss are the 4chan extension and skipscreen. I too had to install add-ons to beat it back to usability. What were they thinking? -_-;;
