Firefox has become too bloated. Loaded up the beta the other day based on a suggestion by a community support engineer. Granted, it's beta, but it is slower (not by a huge margin) than Chrome - that's with no (zero) addons.
I keep Chrome, IE, Firefox, and Opera installed all the time for testing. Chrome does the best job on the most web sites.

And yes, FF team maintains it's addons not them.... but years of this and finding the bug reports int heir tracker etc, have made me tire of the behavior and drop it as a browser.

B9 was a little too flakey and I often had to revert back to FF3.6 or IE8, 10 was better and in the couple of days I've had 11 it's been quite solid. (and fast) Ben M.
