  Except that Opera has it all already. Plus it’s fast.

  Opera also had native syncing way before the others.

  Agree, but Opera suffers from lack of viability. Its user base is ever shrinking. Chrome just came out and already it’s kicking butts and I truly believe that Firefox is Opera lovers’ best alternative.

  I have no problems with it (although I did finally have to drop it to go back to 3.6 or whatever because I just can’t function without Firebug).
  
  The only oddity I found with it was when I had a form styled using the form itself as the element to base the style instructions on, in 4 all of the fieldsets were extended beyond the form’s specified width and borders to the extent of the outer div. I had to style the fieldsets themselves, or the outer div container, to contain them properly.

  I’m glad to hear that the FF speed has increased, not that it’s that slow now.
  
  When I look at how much memory FF uses, it’s sometimes enormous. I do run a number of plugins, and that may be causing some of that. I use Firebug, fire.fm, WOT, and Adblock, and maybe they "leak" a bit.
  
  That aside, in your opinion, will FF keep needing to use even more memory for speed and other performance, or can/will that also be optimized?
