And I haven't seen a hang yet either -- but Firefox 2 hangs whenever I watch something from YouTube and then try to close the tab. Haven't tried that with FF3 yet, it might have the same problem.

(As far as I can tell about the same in Windows, 'cept the bigger back-button, and it probably draws faster or something.) The only drawback is that occasionally it hangs, but it doesn't happen often, and of course, since this ain't Windows, it doesn't take down anything but itself until I force-quit it when it does. I could always run FF2 if that becomes a problem, it's only happened twice.
