I am using it on my macbook pro. FF8 is faster compare to FF5 I was using. Schubert-it PDF plugin, Adblock, XMark, Flashgot works. Firebug, Google Dictionary, Download statusbar don't work... and there are some minor bugs with mouse hover effect.

Yeah, I just downloaded firefox-trunk in ubuntu, and it certainly is fast, fast enough that I can go back to using it for Microsoft Exchange webmail (which was the real killer before.) But not having the extensions is going to be a pain. I think I might try to port "It's All Text!" to 8...
