I agree that add-ons are slowing down Firefox. I expect Jetpacks to overcome this problem, but it seems that add-on devs are not much happy with jetpacks/addon sdk.
>> Also, Chrome does definitely auto-update
I am talking about Chromium here
But we can't expect an end-user to use such things.
I find Chromium an uncomplete product. :( Also, it is not developed by the open-community.
I believe that there is still huge scope for a better browser. Chrome is Google's browser - and open community cant trust Big G. Chromium has a big minus point: no auto-update. You need to download and install newer versions manually.
I want a fast browser (may be WebKit + V8) developed by any non-profit and reputed organization like Mozilla.
AFAIK, Firefox has not introduced any change in order to score 100% on Acid3. If you read this article (http://browserfame.com/212/firefox-acid3-test-100), you will come to know that the developer of Acid3 test has introduced few changes in order to "update" the test. On the updated Acid3 scale, Firefox scores 100%. This simply indicates that Mozilla was correct!
I agree with you: "If you take a Firefox 16 months old and run Acid3 on it now, it would score 100% - I think that's what he meant.".
I am unable to understand your comment: "read before you respond stupidly.". Can you please explain my stupidity?
(FYI: I am also associated with Mozilla for long, as a volunteer.)
acid3 has updated itself, firefox is right there.
