I'm a web developer developing for all browsers and win/os. I have been watching the not so slow & oh so steady decline of Firefox for many years.

I would not recommend blaming your OS until you compare FF performance with Chrome. Using Fiddler or Firebug Net monitor & Chrome Monitor it just shows me that internal to the FF kernel/exe it seems to stutter before responding to any user inititated event.

I remember when FF came along 7 years ago. It was a breath of fresh air after the hell of IE4/5/6.

IE9 is now better than FF5 & that is something I never thought would happen.

But seriously, Chrome just kicks ass & I have to discipline myself to test my site in Firefox. As soon as I'm done testing I RUN back to Chrome for development & personal browsing.

I think somebody made a wrong turn in alberquerque and just keeps putting more band-aids on the bullet wound that is the stuttering performance of this once graceful gazelle.

Just as addendum... I develop on a Dell ProEdge with dual cores, 12GB of RAM & win 2008 running 64 bit. Even client side cached pages render 10X slower in FF than Chrome & (7X slower than IE9/Safari 4) IE8 is 4x faster.

FF5 acts alot like IE8, it has this inherent stutter everytime a mouse event or hot key kicks off Ajax or even just pure JQuery. It seems to lie in the rendering & event engine.

And I have disabled ALL add-ons except Flash & Silverlight which are mandatory or I might as well give up on FF altogether; well I would if I did not need to support all browsers.

My advice to FF/IE & Safari teams: RENT/LICENSE CHROME and .... I know I'm being mean now but waiting for div to render 20-40 seconds that renders in under 4 seconds in Chrome drives me bugf$(#*!

Just sayin'.... :))

You'll get it right eventually I'm sure.... and if not... quantum computers are not too far away....
