Re:Firefox 8 is 20% faster than Firefox 5, matches Chrome 14 by nhebb on Monday July 11, 2011 @09:38AM (#2750592)
Versions 6 and 7 haven't been released yet, but the feature sets are locked in due to the faster major version release cycle. The recently discovered memory fragmentation issues (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666058) and more efficient garbage collection are being addressed in version 8.

The bug you linked to will be fixed in version 7, not 8.
