Going Back to 1.5
I've been using RC3 of FF2 for a couple of days.

I just don't like how it handles tabs (not nearly as well as Tab Mix Plus or Session Manager, neither of which work with FF2).

I don't like the inline spelling - especially that there's no way to turn it off. You need to add words to its dictionary or turn it off for the text box your filling in.

Page loading is slower (but colors seem deeper or brighter). Even with tweaking the config.

I'll roll back to 1.5 and use extensions for now.
