Indeed, some reasons for every surfer in choosing a browser are speed and simplicity, while still supporting high performance. Firefox is a famous stubborn and loaded with options add-on. But the weakness of older versions is that it is relatively slow in showing web pages and rendering images. Compare it with opera and Chrome. Today, in my opinion, people are still stick with Firefox because of the abundant support of add-on.
This weakness would likely be removed by Mozilla in developing the latest version of the browser. It seems that Firefox tries to make the browser display becomes much simpler by following the current market taste. Although in my opinion, Google Chrome wins in terms of simplicity.
The Differences of Firefox 4 with previous versions, clearly visible from the tab that more fashionable and more relieved. Similar to Chrome. The difference is that Firefox's tab is transparent. As for the menu, at first glance, it is similar to the Opera browser 10.6, with a browser name in the upper left.
For those who did not use Firefox 4, it is probably confusing. Display menu is now changed completely. In the old version, the menus are on the upper side, and now Firefox presents only one menu labeled Firefox.
On of the eminency of Firefox relay on its abundant add- on support. And now, add-on manager is integrated in the browser. In this way, when user clicks on the button add-on, He will be directed to a new browser tab. This seems similar to Google Chrome with model extension.

Mozilla claims the browser is much faster between 2-7 times from the previous version. The major change is the addition of performance JavaScript engine, which makes the initial page loading speed faster
Whether Firefox is able to outperform rivals, such as Internet Explorer 9 and opera and Chrome or not, It all depends on individual user preferences. I myself, prefer to use Firefox 4, this because I was already using it since long. I have been familiar with its features, and I have abundant support add-on. Moreover, with improved design and speed, makes me reluctant to switch to other browsers.
