I have only 3 issues with Firefox, and none of them were addressed with the new firefox.

1. Firefox is relatively slow.
2. You can't disable new windows (tabs only no matter what, plz).
3. No anti-aliasing for normal text sizes. - Whoops, nevermind. It does now

I disabled new windows. All new window links open in new tabs. Try Tab mix plus, it's a great extension.

the only addons that dont work for me are:

fasterfox
hyperwords
piclens
tab x

other than that everything works great.....

just wondering... if anyone knows about the pipelining performance mod... there's an additional line which mentions pipelining ssl connections.... i left that disabled coz i was unsure whether it may send multiple connections while im paying for something with my cred card or something... if anyone knows otherwise please let me know, otherwise i'll leave it disabled.....

go to speed test and check your connection, it could be the extentions you were running aswell.
