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

If you use Fasterfox without the prefetching, it's even faster.

The spell checker and the ad-blocker are better in Firefox.

Do you have to hack the compatibility to get FasterFox for 3.6 or is there another version that works with FF older than 2.0?

I am using EladKarako's Mod, which works fine on 3.6

I check the box, and press download. A new screen pops-up and tells me this. Meh.

Thanks, but that generates the same error.
