I just found a situation where FF is worse then IE8 right here at DaniWeb. In one of the posts FF displays blank pages while IE8 the pages are ok. I think its a situation where FF takes longer then IE8 to render the page because FF takes several seconds to render the page correctly.

I wouldn't trust results from SunSpider. Put it to the test, and could not get a consistent result, even though was closing and re-opening before each consecutive run. Went out, came back a few hours later, re-opened and re-ran test... the time/speed test almost DOUBLED!!
Now having said that, I do like FF 3.5... been a long time user of Firefox. BUT - if they do not fix the blasted memory leakage which has been an increasing issue for a long time now, I'm throwing it the wind!!

FF is slow to "boot", that's probably the right word for that because the start time of FF almost equals the Windows boot time. However once FF starts, it works pretty well while the IE even messes up for tab openings as well... I love IE but the latest versions are just way below the par. I think Microsoft has to invent something new right from the ground up.

I don't know about all of you but FF opens for me in less than 2 seconds as does IE8, but I use FF, don't like IE.

MS (as with any other software vendor) is unlikely to spend too much time on "innovating" a product that will likely not be around to see another build release. Any updates will likely only focus on stability and security and nothing more.•

I use Firefox 3.5.3 now on my PC. I must say it is really a helpful and useful browser for us webmasters and seoers for there are always so many add-ons to choose. In my own opinion, it is definitely powerful than IE 8.
