I will agree that it tends to be slower rendering pages.  If you really want to find out just how much slower I found a bench mark test.
http://testmy.net/cgi-bin/p_load.cgi

Run that in any browser you like and I suggest running the 25K as well as the 50K, because the difference seems to be less most times on the larger files.  Also run it on IE or what ever your browser of choice currently is to see it next to another program on your machine.

Remember this test is not about how fast your net connection is,  they do that as well though, it is to see how fast your browser takes the information given and renders it before calling for the next page to render.

i love firefox. i use nothing else. unless i have to test my css hacking on IE for the unenlightened.
killjoy there's now a gmail notifier from google.
adblock sure is nice.
if you're a webdeveloper, you can't not have chris pedrick's extensions: http://www.chrispederick.com/work/firefox/
down them all is nice as well, if you leech a lot of stuff from webpages.
you can get all these extensions from http://update.mozilla.org or http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/
go firefox!!

I love Firefox as well GK.  I had the Gmail notifier the day it came out and I also got the extention that lets you open up your webmail automatically to a new tab when you click e-mail addresses listed on pages.

I have really enjoyed it and I look forward to the next release as it gets better each time.  I even use the IRC client for it.  Not as powerful as mIRC or anything, but at 200k, loads in a browser window, and being free, I like it.

FIREFOX it ROCKS!
