Re:Firefox 6 available, version 8 to offer add-on control by fedorabbit on Monday August 15, 2011 @09:26AM (#2886758)
Just downloaded Firefox 6. Umm... I don't have benchmark software to test internal improvements, but I don't really feel like any difference. Probably because Firefox 5 is already fast enough for me. But Xmarks addon is broken now, and I experienced some issues with trying to install some of the add-ons. Everything else is fine.

Yeah, it doesn't look like there are massive changes in 6. 7 is where the changes for memory are coming in, I'm rather looking forward to that.

On the other hand, the list of fixed bugs is pretty massive: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/6.0/releasenotes/buglis...
