I just installed it, after using the latest available beta's for a while.
I personally find it loads pages pretty fast, maybe a tad faster than the latest beta. But it might be bit early to compare it against the beta versions.

I haven't had any problems with the latest beta. I'll upgrade when I have some time to kill. Thanks for the link.

yea i downloaded firefox 1.0 last night and i have ahd no problems with it. The changes from the last beta are very minor. Im having no problem with load times. (I think my 5mb connection helps that) I havent tweaked it at all yet, i dont think i ever will either. Right now its fast enough for me.
Nice job Mozarella!

It's only been installed for five mins. and I really like it. There are definatly some differences.
Is there anything I'm not going to like? I did read something about Active X.

You shouldn't face any problems, the browser has a load of options,extensions you can play with...link (http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/)
There are a few sites incompatible with firefox, no big deal.
Type about:config in the url bar and have a look at the options :)

I don't know if you guys ever heard of Moox's optimization builds (I never had), but he released 3 different versions of the latest Firefox 1.0, optimized for several cpu's (A64, P4, XP.......)
Check it out here :

I just installed Firefox 1 on all my systems. Slightly faster than 0.9.3. But not much else.
