It seems to have started to catch up to Chrome, judging by the features you've listed. I'm still not sure why FF runs slower on my machines, which is unfortunate.
 
Thank you, looking forward to trying it out and seeing the new DL manager as well.
I hope they keep improving performance. It still doesn't open faster like IE for me.

anyone know if they are working on sandboxing and doing the 1 tab per process?
 
Java does not have an updater which runs completely autonomously, yet.

You can set flash to update itself in the background if you want, and that has been there since around ver. 11.
 
Official build is out,updated mine via my FF browser.

Seems faster ie pages load quicker,be interesting to see benchmarks of FF20.

I miss Download Status Bar, much more useful and interactive than this silly new FF manager that is forced upon you...since somehow the new FF turns it off. Meh! :twisted:

I'm with you there. Looks like they are trying to clone Chrome and IE with that one. At least you can change it back.
