Wow wow wow.

It’s been about a year - an eternity in web terms - since I’ve seriously tried Firefox. I’ve been using Safari: it just has better aesthetics, and up till now has been significantly faster.

However, I’ve just updated, and wow … Firefox launch time is a quarter what it used to be on Mac OS X.

Dunno yet if it’ll be the one, but it’s going to get another long look from me.

Holy mother, the typography has improved on Firefox. Unbelievable. Poor typography - letters that looked like marching ants - was one of the reasons I could not live with Firefox (or Flock) a year or so ago.
