I used the the 3.6 beta5, and from upgrading to the RC, I see very much improved startup times. Although I did build a new profile starting with 3.6 beta5 from the profile I've had for a long time. But still, from beta 5 to the RC, much improved load times for me.

Looking forward to it. I wish they could speed up the startup time. Seems pretty slow for me.

My start-up time was slow until I dumped Norton 2009 and went with MSE. Now it pops up. FF 3.5.7 with a handful of add-ons.

i have also found Chrome to be alot faster, i also dont use extensions on either browsers so i just use Chrome because of the speed, all i use browsers are for their original use, BROWSING! though i might try this one when it is released. :)

Yes, I have noticed that it renders some of my most frequented pages faster than FF. But the start up speed making me most envious.

The more I use other browsers, the more the overall speed difference becomes disappointingly apparent.

Hell, I even use Opera in Linux over FF now

I really want to love FF, but the truth is, it's just too slow. Slow to start and slow when running on OS X 10.6 and Windows 7 on my Macbook pro. Even though IE may not be as secure as FF or Chrome, I still see better results with it in caching and speed.

Oh, look, a hooker *walks away whistling*

Firefox is next on my list of "switching browsers every month", I love the speed of Google Chrome, but hang me from a tree if I can find all my bookmarks properly, unlike Safari...
Actually, I might just skip this fiery animal and try the newest Maxthon 3 Alpha build instead... XD

patio, any known problems with that thus far? Is it freeware? Thanks :)
