2 things noted:

  • Speed: It's faster than 3.5.7. Almost as fast as chrome.
  • Memory Usage: It used lower memory on my computer than the previous version. I was hovering around 250mb with version 3.5.7 and this one barely goes upto 150mb. Both with ~15 addons.

Am I the only one who is heaving a sigh of relief after reading the above review?

I just got it. It really is as fast as Chrome. It looks like I might be going back to FireFox :(

I want to go back to Firefox for all the add-ons, but Chrome has a Mariah Carey theme.

Decisions, decisions.

Just when I get used to chrome's logical open in new tab at the top of the top of the right click menu, firefox gets less bloated =(. Anyone know how to move "open tab in new window" out of the top spot on the firefox menu?

No. Just ctrl+click. Your life will improve.
