This blog recently moved from blog.mozilla.com/nnethercote to blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote. This move broke the captcha I use for comments for a couple of days. The breakage has now been fixed, sorry for any inconvenience!

I guess you already said about performance metrics and superiority of firefox few times but I found the following articles consolidating them.

@Rahendra, Nicholas has repeatedly stated his opinion about personal benchmarks and his points are valid. However, the article from itworld does mirror my experience with Firefox in contrast to Chrome.
I have a run of a mil netbook (2 gigs of ram), and as a heavy tab user especially when I am researching something, Chrome drags enough for me to notice it slowing microsoft office in the process. This changes my browsing behavior being more prudent with opening new tabs. In contrast with Firefox I do not notice any slowdowns with Firefox or my other programs, so Firefox is doing it job which is to be browser while not interfering with my workspace.
As for Ie9 and Opera, I wouldn’t have any point of comparison b/c I don’t use those browsers.
Glad to see mozilla embracing its .org coolness =)
