This is the first time I've used Firefox.


Initial impression (from someone who has always used IE)....I like it


Seems a little slow with some pages, although maybe that can be tweaked out of it.
The easiest thing to tweak is the nglayout.initialpaint.delay, just edit the user.js file from my optimisations and alter the value. The smaller this is the faster the page will initially appear, however if the page is not completely rendered it will then take slightly longer to finish. It's up to personal preference if you want to see a partial page sooner or see the completed page. The slower the computer the higher this number is although lowering it will not harm anything, just play about.

You can set it to 0 however this can cause flickering as it renders a page with different sized images in columns.

the best values to try are:
750
500
250
0
