Well, I'm just leaving a little comment, but I think Mozilla Firefox has been horrible since it kept updating. Everytime I start it up, loading sites would be lag and not clean. Google Chrome, it loads stuff clean, like every single thing in seconds. Plus, Google Chrome doesn't use a lot of the CPU's resources and stuff. Mozilla Firefox does when I do use it. I'd try to do something else when Firefox is open but then it's like I can't do anything because everything's on Firefox.

… change to Opera.
I run version 10.0.3beta, and its faster than Firefox.
FF is ditched because its a spaghetti of core and “add-ons”. The problem with the “add-ons” is that they work differently, every one has their way of doing things that differs slightly. Simple things like “Save As” becomes a nightmare when you loose track of the “add-on” used that will then determine where the file was saved on my disk.
Opera has “Widgets” that works within the Opera framework. It also has a complete email client, and industry customers that demands reliability and not just performance.
… but then it is not invented in the USA.

Javascript engine for FF 3.5 keeps jamming. When I use Firebug, I found that on several sites that work fine in Safari, Opera and IE (and older FF) produce a warning that says Firefox has no permission to create a wrapper for unNamedClass (450). I completely wiped out all FF related files and re-installed, it’s still there. Reverted to 3.0.1 and it’s fine now.

I love the new Firefox! It does feel faster and I like its new features. Yes, some people have add-ons compatibility problems, but thankfully all my add-ons are OK.

Not sure. I lost 2/3 of my bookmarks after the upgrade. Never was able to get them back.

firefox 3.5 is indeed snappy and pretty fast; except for the initial boot up. i think just a little bit slower than chrome 2.0. Of course google chrome is the fastest of all!. I think the new tracemonkey javascript engine is killer. Most of my add ons still work except for real player record plug-in; which is a huge dissapointment for me. Hopefully realplayer and/or Mozilla willl fix that. So although i am deeply sadened by the absence of real player record plug in; The big increase in speed and quickness of firefox 3.5 VS firefox 3.0.11 to almost as fast as chrome 2 will keep me with firefox and I wil keep chrome as a reliable backup. IE 8 is much slower than both of these browers. Chrome 2.0 still remains the unchallenged speed demon of the bunch.

FireFox is fuckin’ ugly. Chrome and Safari are my fav. I use Chrome the most because it puts my passwords in for me on all sites unlike every other browser. When I go to Myspace all I have to do is click sign in and that’s it rather than having to type in the password everytime. I still have to keep iExplorer because certain features on sites won’t work with Chrome or Safari.

woaaaaaaaaa this is really quick, Firefox has finally got the speed it lacked in previous versions.I just downloaded and this is really good. Still discovering all other minor changes that might have been introduced. Let us see how better 3.5 is apart from speed. Sonal USourceIT: Riskfree IT outsourcing/sourcing partner for SMBs/SMEs

Unfortunately my Norton Safe Web (Norton Internet Security 2009) does not work with Firefox 3.5. I have already abandoned Google Chrome just because. What else can I do? The only option is keep my Internet Explorer…

I’m really a big fan of Mozilla Firefox.Also rather than Opera or Internet Explorer.I always prefer and recommend Mozilla Firefox.It’s fast,easy and secured browser.All attributing various cool features also i guess the new Firefox 3.5 should be the best one of all the old versions.
I’m gonna download it sooner.
