FireFox 2.0 RC3 released

Ok so I finally downloaded this new versionof FF to give it a try. Color me not impressed so far. The load time problem has NOT been fixed. Time it took load a site.

TEST 1
Pogo.com

IE7- 5 seconds
Opera 9- 14 seconds
FF 2.0 over 2 1/2 MINUTES and even then not everything showed up. Still some missing some graphics.

TEST 2
Buccaneers.com

IE7- 7 seconds
Opera 9- 5 seconds
FF 2.0- 6 seconds

TEST 3
Weather.com

IE7- 7 seconds
Opera 9- 8 seconds
FF 2.0- 11 seconds

TEST 4
Gofuckyourself.com

IE7- 6 seconds
Opera 9- 6 seconds
FF 2.0- 9 seconds

How can ANYONE say this is BETTER and either IE or Opera? Having to waiting 2 1/2 minutes before I can surf a site and then still have broken images? Cache was cleared each time before loading page so no browser had an advantage.

I'm still going to test this out some more but so far not much better than FF 1.5 which isn't saying much. As far as I can gathher FF has a real problem with CSS. Since when I click TOOLS then ERROR CONSOLE all the warnings have something to do with CSS on pogo.com.
