Not for me.  I tried it under both regular Mozilla identity and
Firefox, and there are still things not working correctly.

For example, the Quick Contacts doesn't show up.  The emboldened fonts
signifying new emails for a particular label aren't showing up.
Detaching a draft of a message doesn't work correctly (it opens a new
window, but doesn't actually detach).  The rich text editor doesn't
work (it just shows up as a regular text box).  The auto-fill features
don't work (e.g. filling in email addresses in the "To:" textbox).

It works minimally, but not to the expectations many of us have for using Gmail.
