| I rely on the plugins for a lot of my daily online activities, so Firefox is a clear choice for me.

might try it. i dunno i have a pretty fast computer but firefox still always took like a second to open as opposed to others like chrome which open instantly. even IE opened faster than firefox, but maybe they've improved since then
i really don't get why everyone loves firefox i could never see much advantage over using other browsers. admittedly there aren't random crashes + freezes like chrome does sometimes but the open time pisses me off. as does the fact that somehow when i open 1 pdf in it it suddenly consumes like 100MB extra memory

"A second to open?" While, I don't know if that's true for me, I don't think I would mind. I'm not that impatient.
I love Firefox for it's wide variety of addons, and how I already customized it to fit all my needs. Switching browsers would be a real pain even if the browser I switch to was "faster."

Firefox used to take around 5 seconds to open for me, I switched to opera and realised how crap it was compared. I'd rather wait 5 seconds.
I'm using Firefox 3.5 beta 4 currently, and it opens very fast, even my stability problems have been fixed.

Lets not turn this into a browser wars thread. I find that all browsers are for different types of people.
Regardless of that, I think ill try it when it comes out as an official release instead of a beta or preview.

yeah doesn't seem to matter what computer i'm on. on my slower computers in the past.. like 2.xghz 2gb ram it takes like 3-5 seconds to open. most recently the computers i have are 3.xghz multiple core + 4gb+ and it still takes 1 second. it's not an isolated issue since i was forced to use firefox for like a year so i got a good taste for it lol
