Well this update has dropped a rather huge clanger since everything worked well yesterday, but it locked up after about 5 minutes only to find it was using around 1GB or so of RAM and only killing the firefox.exe process worked in shutting down the program.
So it looks like I'll be changing my primary browser to chrome soon (if this keeps on going the way it is).

Firefox 10 here, seems to be a nice step up in the right direction performance wise.
Smoother and less jerky.

Nothing major worth shouting about, I've been using the beta for ages

Does FF now allow wrapping of bookmark favicons *NATIVELY* in the bookmarks toolbar? Like in Opera? Or do you have to get an addon to do this.
This is a personal thing but I found it irritating (in earlier versions of FF) that once favicons occupied the visible bookmarks toolbar a little arrow appeared at the right edge of the screen that u had to press in order to see the other favicons.

Just downloaded and installed, I like it. Should i uninstall Firefox or leave it?
Are they not compatible with the new version?

These "too many changes" are not just for the sake of it, they are there to improve performance, security, features etc.
Plus the performance jump from 3 to 10 is massive!
As for addons, what addons would you be loosing? All addons should be compatible now with FF 10 (unless they're not very popular ones that never get updated) and if not just use this method that mrk posted many times before:

And if that doesn't work, I am sure that there would be alternatives, perhaps even better ones out there somewhere.
Anyway, waterfox 10 seems pretty damn good so far, feels even snappier and quicker overall than the previous version!
Memory usage is around 400MB (been opened for about 30 min), that's with 5 tabs opened, 8 addons and 4 user styles installed.

Is there a 32bit version of waterfox 10, anybody know.

i doubt it all waterfox is a recompiled Firefox with a 64bit compiler to get the extra speed.
so i doubt it.
please correct me if im wrong.

I guess updating from within the browser is a bit behind. Says v9 and is up to date.
Why would you want a 32 bit version? Waterfox doesn't add or takeaway anything from Firefox.
It's simply optimised for 64 bit systems, if you want 32 just download the standard Firefox 10.
