The ones that got me were:

1. lack of cookie control
2. inability to shift-click to download something
3. the removal of the ctrl-q keyboard shortcut to quit the browser
4. awkward default search options
5. no easy to get at "open new tab" button

OK, so #2 can be worked around by using alt-click, and #3 is hardly earth
shattering. But they're unnecessary changes that only serve to make the
browser gratuitously different from everything that's come before it.
Yes, for #4, I *really* like keyword.URL. But you need to configure it
to make it useful. The beauty of mozilla was that it nearly all just
worked straight out of the box. Firefox just doesn't do that.
