Asks for a 'Logon'
Working ok for me..?
It works fine for me too, thanks for that 
Coming from FF 5.01 I am a little surprised at how little difference I see between that and this new version 6..!?
I would imagine, or at least hope, that things have changed under the bonnet because I have yet to see anything that deserves a full "number" change rather than simply call it 5.1.

I dumped FF5 for being too slow, I can't see FF6 being any different.
I really want to like chrome again, but I just can't use it all since FF4.
The things that bug me about chrome compared to FF are:
- Scrolling through web pages especially heavy image sites or gif threads is butter smooth on FF and not on chrome
- When you load the high res screenshot thread and awesome gif thread in chrome the whole broswer seems to lag a bit
- I find that loading the heavy image loaded pages etc. to be much slower than FF yet it will load a more text based page slightly quicker than in FF
- Nearly all the styles that I use to customize the sites UI look completely wrong in chrome, parts haven't been applied

Bizarrely, my experience is the polar opposite. When I browse the photography threads, it's silky in Chrome but laggy in FF.

Mozilla has changed the numbering scheme. Each new version is now a new number hence v6 so soon after v5. The previous way would have meant this v6 would probably be 5.1 up from 5.0.1.Firefox has gone from v3.6 to v6 in just 8 months lol
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox#Future_versions for more info.
FTP link so it might be asking you to log into the FTP server. What browser you're using wouldn't affect that.Okay, worked from firefox (v5) but asked me to 'Login' from Opera?!?!?

Well if IE will send them a big cake with every big release, wouldn't you want to release Firefox updates more often?
I think I've already spotted a bug...
Disable the add-on bar.
Exit Firefox
Open Firefox
Theres a white bar at the bottom where the add-on bar usually is.
To fix you need to enable and then disable the add-on bar again.
This repeats itself every time I close and open FF.
