    Been using the Beta for a while and have been really enjoying it and how snappy it felt. This final version is even faster than the latest beta. Really like how extensively you can customize the interface and lay out.

    test it before and after you load it up with your choice of add-ons, remember to watch the resource meter when doing so..

    For me, No Squint works better.  I am at 200% for the Web pages, 140% for the text, and it is crystal clear.

    I dont know why but I dont find it any faster than IE 9.

    If that's true then IE9 must be insanely fast compared to previous versions of IE.

    It seems that IE9 is dang fast in BING and Google searches... But ESPN.com and Ebay.com both load faster on FF 4.0 on my system.
     
    I am very happy to see "Actual" performance increases of such level from both camps. This is awesome!

    I wonder if this will fix the odd issues I have with NewEgg's temporary wishlist system crudding out after a while. I'll have to give FF 4.0 a try to see.
     
    Edit: OMG!!! THERE IS A GOD!!! For years I hated how FF was the only browser with the "open in" option switched. Was annoying making sure I hit "open in new tab" since it was below "open in new window". Now they have it the RIGHT way like it should of been with "open in new tab" as the first choice. Also this new FF is pretty damn sexy.

    IE9 is fast if using hardware acceleration(35 vs 55 fps on 1000 fishies on chrome vs ie) but slower on almost everything else. run the peacekeeper benchmark to see what i mean. it doesn't do enough hardware acceleration. drawing of objects is still slow!
