    I commend Mozilla for supporting old OSes for as long as they did but the bi-product was that all the other browsers didn't have the legacy Achilles Heel that Firefox et al did and started to gain in speed and performance. Beginning with this version, Mozilla finally decided to cut the cord and dump the legacy support so they can finally crank up performance. I hope it's not too little to late as they should have done this probably back in the Firefox 4 days. 13 is shaping up to be fast and lean and I notice with this 5th beta how much so as compared to version 12. Hope the Mozilla folks can reclaim the performance crown and win back all those who have fled to Chrome and other browsers. Benchmarks I've seen so far are very, very promising.

    This beta has made a ton of progress. It's much more friendly and now supports my security system. It also supports all my extensions.

    The problem I have with this version is the failure of my system security to auto-update when it's installed.
