For me it's a minor point, though . . . the only time I need to use IE is when I have to cut/paste an HTML table into Excel (itemized calls on my cell phone bill, in my case). If Firefox did that properly, I'd never use IE.

Just installed the 1.0 final release. Works great.
Re starting up several tabs semi-automatically, one way is to put all the links in a separate folder in the bookmarks and toolbar folder. Then all you have to do is click on the folder on the bookmarks toolbar and select the "open in tabs" option and all the pages will load in their respective tabs.

The tabbed browser features in Firefox 1.0 is lacking, compared to the Tabbed Browser Preferences extension available in previous versions. Everything else is as expected.
Another alternative to IE is Avant Browser. It uses the same "engine" as IE (therefore, vunderable to the same security issues IE has been dogged with), but it gives you a lot (maybe more) features of Firefox.
