It's faster for me too. Firebird 0.7 takes about 17 seconds to start the first time from a reboot on my system, compared to about 11 seconds for Firefox 0.8. Both take about 3 seconds on subsequent starts in the same session.

I'm hoping that by the time Firefox gets to version 1.0 it will have full support for the W3C DOM level 2 recommendation, but version 0.8 is still failing UIEvents, MutationEvents, and Traversal in my informal test. It's not a big deal, since it's already light years ahead of IE 6 (which fails EVERYTHING except level 1 core), but it would be nice.
