I usually test in FF but that's all it's used for. Really gets annoying that FF is ALWAYS telling me to update, then I hit the "update" button and it searches forever and never connects to the server. So I've pretty much given up on FF for that reason.

Air 10.8, MacBookPros 10.7, and 10.6 (that one needs a new HD before I upgrade it).
