So the main issues I have with the alpha is my oxygen-gtk theme not being picked up and flash-plugin, undoubtedly my faulty configuration..
To my surprise the biggie plugins NoScript, Adblock Plus& WoT are already cleared and working (also HashColouredTabs+). Not bad considering release was announced July 7th - http://blog.mozilla.com/futurereleases/2011/07/07/firefoxaurora7/
