I'm not sure about this since I use Google Chrome now and not Firefox. I wouldn't be surprised though. Firefox seems to be more for customization than actual speed.

I also have Google chrome installed as a backup browser. In my experience, ive always found chrome to launch faster and to load webpages slightly faster. But again, usage is tracked by google, so i only use it if i have to. Google does track your usage, but I don't think they can identify you with it as long as you don't allow check the box that says to send usage statistics to Google. If you do check that, then you send statistics that can identify you. If you don't check it, then you only send information that can't identify you. | My System Specs |

It always seemed to me that Firefox was a little bit faster than all the other browsers, but nothing noticeable really... maybe a millisecond or so. The only reason I like Mozilla so much is that it's open source. I like a lot of the add-ons and themes you can get. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion dv6-1230us OS Win7 CPU Intel core 2 Duo T6500 @ 2.10ghz Memory 4GB Graphics Card Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD Hard Drives 320GB HDD |

i use chrome because IE (any version) has had a lot of security problems. Please don't attack me because of that statement, i believe it to be true only because of it's market share or that most non-techies run it because it is built in. And is also often behind the other browsers in rendering pages correctly.
Also there are many projects that use chrome's source but remove the user tracking. i use personally use chromeplus | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit CPU Phenom II 1055T @ 3.1 Ghz (+.3 Ghz OC) Motherboard Asus Memory 8GB Graphics Card 2x Nvidia GTX 260 core 216 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Monitor(s) Displays dual 23" Screen Resolution 3840x1080 Keyboard QWERTY and clicky Mouse logitech wireless PSU 750w Case Black Cooling Oxygen, Nitrogen, other various gases.

Ditto, Firefox is slow. About 5-10 seconds to load while IE 8 less than 2 seconds. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Asus P6X58D-E OS Windows 7 CPU Intel Core i7 930 Motherboard Asus X58 P6X58D-E Memory G.SKILL F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ 6GB DDR3 3X2GB DDR3-1600 CL 9-9-9 Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5700 PSU Coolermaster Silent Pro 700W Modular Power Supply Hard Drives Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA3 6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB
