FireFox 3.5.4 Released.
Greetz.
Make the switch to Firefox – the faster, safer, smarter way to browse the Web.
They are using this statement for the new version>
The Fastest Firefox Yet
Things move quickly online, and we’ve beefed up the engine that runs Firefox to make sure you can keep up: Firefox 3.5 is more than twice as fast as Firefox 3, and ten times as fast as Firefox 2.* As a result, Web applications like email, photo sites and your favorite social networks will feel snappier and more responsive.
View all performance features.
Learn more about Firefox 3.5’s performance upgrades.
* Based on the results of a SunSpider test of JavaScript performance on a Windows XP machine.
Anyhow for those that use FireFox you can automatically upgrade to the newest version via the Help> Check for updates toolbar within your browser.
Or you can go directly to the mozilla website and grab a copy >

Yeah!...................like FF 2.x takes 90 seconds..................I ran out of patience with FF 3.5 after 20 MINUTES! ........it hadn't even started.
So this one will take 10 minutes..............................or is that 9 seconds?...........I am more inclined to believe the former than the latter

When Opera 10 was called faster then its earlier versions it was based on the fact that, opera 10 includes a new feature called "opera turbo"

I certainly think that 3.5.4 is.................. with 3.5.2 I would still be waiting for it to start! (from back in May)
Yes, I backed up and went to 3.5.4 and it seems OK. I didn't time the cold start, but I would guess it at about the same as 2.0.15?.............60~90 seconds (please remember it has to load plugins and a homepage).
I just updated Opera to 10.01 and it cold started in 23 seconds, which beat Safari by about 2 seconds
As I mentioned, I had problems with FF from 3.5.0 until 3.5.2, which just wouldn't start!!! The 3.5.4 is OK again, so I don't know what the problem was; other than that I was not the only one to have it!
I notice that FF 3.5.4 will start second and subsequent instances in less than 10 seconds, which is an improvement over the 2.x versions.

Nihil load up the browsers 1 at a time with a few tabs that have a few images, load up youtube with a video streaming, and find a website with java games.
then randomly open a new tab and view another plain website and this time select any link and make it open in a new window and see how each browser fairs.
Also monitor system resources...
then note down the results, close the browser, launch the next browser and repeat.
