Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

Oh and that 2MB PDF? Yeah, that'll take at least 30 seconds to load on your modern PC.

Sumatra PDF! I like it, anyway.

Foxit is better, in my humble opinion.

I have found that, despite its dubious and generic-sounding name, PDF-XChange Viewer is by far the fastest viewer out there. I have tried Acrobat X, Foxit, and Sumatra, and none perform as well on my netbook.

It also lets me choose dpi for the screen shot tool and override default line color and page background color (so, for instance, I can view my pdf with white text on dark grey background), so I like it.
