Performance isn't dramatically improved and not on par with WebKit browsers
Abstract: Firefox has taken one more step ahead in the ‘war of browsers with the release of its latest version, i.e. Firefox 4.0. Firefox 4 final version is now available for download for Windows, MAC and Linux operating systems. In this article, we w...
Simplified interface, improved JavaScript and HTML5 performance, Sync and Panorama are useful additions, widest range of add-ons of any browser, excellent compatibility with nearly every website
Performance isn't dramatically improved and not on par with WebKit browsers, add-ons still require restarting the browser, hardware acceleration disabled by default, smaller fonts look fuzzy
Firefox 4 is a notable improvement over its predecessor although we can't help but think that it could have been a lot better. The changes in interface are welcome but those aren't very important. We expected a greater improvement in performance over ...

Improved performance with new JavaScript engine (although still not as fast as other browsers), good support for emerging HTML 5 standards, comprehensive sync between devices and hardware acceleration for XP
Panorama tabs are eye candy rather than a useful interface and the improved performance isn't competitive
The best version of Firefox so far actually lags behind other browsers in performance; it does better when it concentrates on features like Sync but convenience doesn’t always make up for the slower speed...
