Apple Thoughts: Firefox 3.5 Hits: It's Pretty Fast

"We've been working hard to make sure Firefox 3.5 brings you the best of the modern web. With new features like private browsing, tear-off tabs and enhancements to the Awesome Bar, plus major performance enhancements, you'll enjoy life on the cutting edge."

You immediately notice the performance increase. If you don't, I suggest you buy a dog and a cane. It really is that dramatic.

I was happy to see tear-off tabs. That was one of my most used features in Safari and now I don't need Safari to get it. Overall, Firefox has been very good to me. As frustrating as it can be, it's my go-to browser when I need to get things done and has been for the last few months (after a brief time of using Safari exclusively).

Caveat: Some of your extensions may not work, but you already knew that!
