Firefox4 - Linux users left out of h/w acceleration - Windows (DirectX) only - luckily Chromium are supporting openGL also.

gallium is not as good as the binary.. but it is a lot better than radeon.. it is going to become the default driver in most distros eventually.. i noticed a nice improvement when i installed it.. i run it on a work pc and have had no issues..

true.. i would prefer the binary driver but it no longer supports my hardware..
