    Installed it, liking it so far, although the text antialiasing is blurred (very much like IE9). Opinions?

    Still twice slower than IE 9 on startup, I have habit of closing windows when I am not using it. and Firefox takes reasonable time to start up even with SSD. IE 9 is very fast. but there are still many websites which will not work/work properly on IE9 so I have to use Fixfox. But the text looks fine to me. (This might be graphics card driver issue, as now everything is using "Hardware Accelaration" :rolleyes: )

        It might also be a driver issue since if your video driver isn't supported (or is blacklisted[^]), you won't get hardware-accelerated drawing. So I don't see any change at all on my laptop (out-of-date Intel driver), but on my desktop I get smoother (not really blurry, but obviously different) rendering.

          Thanks for the link. :thumbsup: Sadly most of the users will not get graphics accelaration as they require very newer drivers. (trust me 5 version older drivers are very new to most of the users.) and all the browsers right now focusing on this perticular feature when advertising. :)

            Been running it all the way through the beta process. No problems with antialiasing here, although I may have antialiased eyes.

              It's obvious where they got a lot of their inspiration. Cough. <google chrome>. Cough. I'm glad to see the UI change though. After using Chrome for the last several months I've found the FF 3.x UI clunky and bloated.
