I've had 7RC up for a few days now. I've noticed that FF3, my preferred browser, acts a little strange. It's crashed several times (just the app, not the OS) and it's "stutters", especially when scrolling as the page loads - very odd.

IE8, OTOH, is pretty smooth. It wouldn't be beyond belief to imagine that W7 is purposefully making things difficult for FF3.

I noticed this at home when I got the FF updates about a week ago. I'm using XP SP3. Sometimes it snaps to attention and other times it thrashes the HD and doesn't load the pages right away. FF worked very well before this week. I'm clean as to malware and other crap.

The Windows 7 beta build wouldn't allow Firefox to run at all on my test machine.

That was the only app that wouldn't start.
