No it isn’t. In fact, I’m using 0.9.1 (WinXP/AMD 850MHz/512MB RAM) at the moment and find switching tabs using Ctrl+Tab significantly slower than in 1.7. The page actually flashes in white for about half a second. I know at least one other user who confirmed this problem (on another forum), but I can’t find anything in bugzilla. This bug goes back to Phoenix days.

RightClick+T and RightClick+W do the same in Seamonkey.

> Form autocomplete.

Yeah, this one’s nice. It’s a shame though that the old Save Form Info is gone. I find it useful in just as many cases as I do with inline Form Autocomplete.

> Update notification.

Which is currently broken. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246324

Prog.

Firefox is much faster than Mozilla. Huh, does it use another Gecko? Gecko2?? Or is it faster because there are two Geckos in memory when one needs to run thunderbird in addition? > Speed.

Huh, does it use another Gecko? Gecko2??
Or is it faster because there are two Geckos in memory when one needs to run thunderbird in addition?

For rendering web pages, slightly faster or the same. Firefox is faster at starting and opening new windows. For rendering web pages, slightly faster or the same.
