There's a fair number, and while it's usable in Windows, Linux GTK2+XFT is right out. (This unfortunately means I can't do any development work there, but such is life. Hopefully bug 283738 will get fixed soon, because it's really sucking for me.)

Yet again they remove a bunch of stuff that many people used as the main reason for running firefox in the first place. This browser is turning more and more into a bluddy IE clone, removing options everyone wants and adding graphical bloated crap like fading windows (so much for the old idea of firefox being lean and not bloated). You may well be able to turn the javascript stuff using about:config, but I for one have no idea what options they are, many many less advanced users than me wont even have a clue they exist, and those javascript options are basically the entire reason I moved to firefox in the first place. As usual its a case of people being able to program and yet not having the slightest clue about interfaces or what people want. It's amazing how common that is. “Several options are no longer available through the options window; the most-missed preferences seem to be JavaScript annoyances prefs (283716) and disk cache size (283590).”
