Firefox is definitely not holding anything back, it is still much more able than IE10, has better compatibility and usability than either Opera or Safari. True it isn't the speed king anymore, but I don't notice it getting slower at all either.

Firefox is the ONLY web browser that actually works well (performance) in Android. Compared to built-in/chrome, rendering performance is on a whole other plane of existence.

In fact when it comes to smooth scrolling firefox is the best performing browser I've used (chrome's scrolling is atrocious even with the smooth scroll flag, and chrome's smooth scroll doesn't work at all with the middle click universal scroll, and also doesn't work on certain webpages, its pretty ridiculous for a browser in 2013 to have sich poor scrolling). This is the main reason I take firefox over chrome any day of the week. When it comes to stability, page rendering speed and such I barely notice any difference between firefox and chrome. Chrome's UI is slightly more responsive under load but thats about it. When it comes to memory usage I've found chrome to actually be significantly more memory hungry than firefox (although this doesn't really bother me either way, I have 8gb ram)

Firefox is working just fine here on an i5 Sandy Bridge, dualcore + HT, 4GB of RAM. No crashes, no hangs, no choppiness, nothing -- and thats with a lot of addons installed.
Those of you having problems... bug in FOSS drivers (if youre using them)? Corrupted profile? Something else hogging CPU/GPU? Bad combination of addons?All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

I have to agree that the most annoying ?feature? of FF is its mono-threaded design causing an unresponsive UI during page loading.
