But the statusbar info isn't lost is it?  It took me a little while to
notice where it migrated to - for me anyway the main info I used from
the statusbar was to see the URL a link pointed to... this info is now
shown in the Location bar or whatever it's called... to the right of
your current URL.

That one caught me out.  I didn't notice where the reload button
disappeared to for a while... I was rather annoyed by this... it took
me a while to notice it was on the RH side of the Location bar.

The UI shuffles are a bit jarring to start with, but the overall
speed/performance increase more than makes up for any changes.

In the past... didn't we include both when an oS release was on the
cusp of a major release change in browsers?  I vaguely remember
something about this with FF2 to FF3... I could be mis-remembering
though.
