An update incorporating the Firefox 9.0.1 code base.
In addition, the following changes:

* Under the hood changes and improvements to the way memory is handled by the Javascript engine.
* WebGL has been changed to use ANGLE by default instead of using native OpenGL to give better performance on a number of systems that would otherwise suffer from high CPU usage and lower frame rates.
* Change in compiler: from this point on, Visual Studio 2010 will be used for all "next gen" builds.
* Build environment changed to cater to the ever-growing XUL dll size without having to compromize on what modules to optimize. (Prevent running into the 3GB address space limit)
* DNS prefetching disabled by default to prevent router hangups
* Changes to timings for UI script execution and content script execution to prevent unnecessary dialog popups about unresponsive scripts.
* Some image decoding tweaks.
* Eye candy: animated preferences dialog (resize when switching category).

If you’re not satisfied with the performance of your Firefox installation then a good first step is to make sure you’re fully up-to-date; Firefox 9, released just before Christmas, introduced some worthwhile improvements aimed at optimising speed and cutting resource use.

If that’s not enough, though, you could always check out Pale Moon 9.0.1, released today. It’s a custom version of Firefox which has been further optimised for performance, and our initial benchmarks show some interesting results.

Edit: There seems to be an issue with Norton's cloud blocking Pale Moon installation, discussed here : -http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=396&sid=e7caa158cc75bfcd3db5d95e2aa4c380-

I have already contacted Norton last time not too long ago when their software started tripping over the portable version.

Do note that they suggested that I join their "software vendor program" in response after whitelisting the dll it tripped over, which I am not going to do for the simple reason that it is their software that is broken, not mine. it is not my task to notify any and all "security" vendors under the sun ahead of time about new releases so they can add it to a custom whitelist to work around their own broken scanning engines.
