Bugs in Firefox 3.5 mac os x 10.5.7

I installed Firefox 3.5 last week and everything has worked great so far. All of my plugins have been updated. My favorite theme for Firefox on the mac is GrApple; looks better than ever. The only issues I have thus far are:
1. While the javascript does seem faster, some scripts are actually slower and the browser has crashed to desktop much more often than 3.0.1.x. One example is use Firefox 3.5 for mac and go to
feedjit. It will make the rest of your tabs and windows crawl to a halt.
2. If you go and print a website and choose to have it print to pdf instead, it will crash to desktop.
3. Some of the color profiles seems to be wrong. Some websites that looked fine before 3.5 now look horribly disfigured. I’m sure the site owners will adjust accordingly.
While I have pointed out a few negatives, there are many things that Firefox 3.5 does right. I love the new tab management and closed window restore. I haven’t used private browsing much but I’m sure it’ll come in handy at a client’s computer when I want to check email without cluttering their computer with my forms.
I hope my bugs are just my own and are not effecting everyone else but if they do, I would like to hear your own experiences. Thanks.
