Perhaps I am missing some subtle humor here, but drag and drop tabs are in 1.5.

You can change the tab order by dragging it. It works in Win XP at leaset.

I've had situations where, upon running the app FRESH, it's shit all over 70 megs of my memory - on RC3. And on /. alone. Opera in the same environment only uses ~30
If you describe what those situations are, the problem can be fixed. Whenever I start Firefox 2, it uses 24 MB of memory, as opposed to 27 MB for Opera.
