It is also based upon a newer release of Webkit rendering engine than Chrome as well.
Since it is virtually identical to Chrome, I also saw the lack of reply button and new topic buttons on this forum page... I was about to blame the browser, like you, when I realised that as I am only just tryin this out as a trial, i am not automatically logged into the forum as I would normally be.
Logging in to the forum, gives me the standard forum view with the ability to post and reply like normal. (This was posted using "Iron" as my browser).

Killed it and it opened Chrome OK and had got all my bookmarks and cookies.
It is quicker than firefox but missing my plugins.

IRON has an adblock facility built-in. I haven't used it, but you download a block list file to make it work. See the website listed above (in previous my post) for details.
I'm really enjoying using Iron, it has all the speed of Chrome, but no privacy issues with Google.
I would highly recommend giving it a try.

That is fast. It ported all my bookmarks and Firefox passwords across without a hitch. Very minimalist as well.

Also Iron crashed when I opted for 'never remember this password' on a site.

For some reason I can't log in to my Madasafish webmail now, when using Iron. I get a message saying:
Your session has ended. Possible causes:
You have been timed out after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Looks like a cookies problem but I've got "Accept all cookies" enabled.
