This one unfortunately causes me big trouble.  Opening new tabs no
longer gives the page (e.g. Google) focus, and when I manually click
to give it focus, enter some text, and post, the location bar pops up
attempting to match entries.  Definitely less usable focussing than
the last version.  Seems to be more stable with fewer crashes on FC3,
however.
