So did you guys just click on upgrade button or did you have to download it? My FF says 6.0.2 is the latest version!

Even small linux distros go with chromium (not chrome)...

I dont think FF will beat chrome in speed, chrome is so minimalist that will never be slower than FF

I agree with this statement. I tested 7.0.1 and the newest nightlies and 7.0.1 use same amount of memory as my old firefox did. Nightly use less, but not that much, they do respond faster however, probably because of JIT optimizations.
