What are the disadvantages?
I've just installed it, put adblock on, installed flash & shockwave.

Any other problems I may come up against?

I've noticed that I can't play background sounds on webpages. I don't know why. I get sounds on flash games and such, but if the webpage has a background sound I can't hear it. Also I can't see item descriptions on the mouseover. So when I put my curser over a toy or food, I can't see the cute descriptions anymore. But...Firefox works so much faster for me when restocking so it is good for that.

I think both those issues can be fixed with plugins. I'm using one that shows the alternate text for the images, and I know that there's one that plays BG music. Let me dig around a bit, I might find the links.

So, apart from those 2 minor problems, everything else should be as good as, if not better than IE?

There might be a few small problems every now and then, especially since the majority of the world still embraces IE. But to most people, it's a smoother experience. Those are probably the worst problems you'll run into, and they're easily fixed :D

That's the umm, alternate text thing. If you install it, it should show ALT text when you hover over a neopets item.

Still looking for that Background Music one.

Let me know, I miss my music. I don't want to play runecape with firefox because I can't hear the sounds if I an attacked, and well..I like the music on runescape too..

Also, flash/animated elements sometimes to not load in Firefox and you need to refresh a few times.

If you are a restocker, you will miss the function you get in IE where your cursor automatically zooms to the default button in a confirmation window.
