I was also experiencing the same ...specially with CSS heavy websites ...
not to mention random crashes on certain sites running special modules

Chrome with privoxy > FF with adblock

you should try it out, zips right along, no ads at all]]>Jun 30th 2009 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/
I have to admit though that Chrome's interface is better in 2 ways. The 1st is the way tabs appear and the 2nd is the lack of a tools menu. I wish I can remove the tools menu in Firefox without installing an extension for that. Better yet, I wish Firefox doesn't have one.

Since 3.0.0.11 is so yesterday, I resign to update my best friend's number tag, errr, I mean features.]]>Jun 30th 2009 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/Jun 30th 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/
I used to like FF2 then upgraded to 3.0, and noticed how long it took to startup. I got so annoyed, I sometimes reverted back to IE.

I don't get it, my FF has no add-ons, so why so slow~ ;-(]]>Jun 30th 2009 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/Jul 1st 2009 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/Jun 30th 2009 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/Jun 30th 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/Jun 30th 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/Jun 30th 2009 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/It allows you to run unsupported addons on any version of firefox.

After installing FF, I asked the same question, so I made a little test. I typed a web address into both browsers, hit enter on one switched to the other, and hit enter again. I cleared out my history, caches, etc. beforehand, so there shouldn't have been too much difference besides the milliseconds it takes to switch to the different applications. I tried loading random content-heavy websites (CNN, MLB, ebay, engadget, amazon, Yahoo, etc.) to see what the differences were in both S4 and FF3.5, and there was *minimal* differences. Some Firefox was faster, most Safari was... by less than 1/2 second or somewhere around there...

Long story short, if you like FF over Safari, it works faster than it did before. If you like Safari, there is going to be no huge reason to switch.]]>Jun 30th 2009 4:04PM
