This release comes off the Mozilla 0.9.4 branch, and is the third major release from Netscape using Mozilla." Kmeleon also has a release today, if you'd like your web with a little more browsing and little less AOL-promotion.

Re:why is mozilla engine so slow?

In my experience, sites do render significantly faster if they use "correct" html or xml. I can only base this on my own experience, though.

If you're going to a lot of ASP sites, then IE seems to render those faster than Mozilla. (I know. Big Shock! MS always optimizes its products for its own platform.)

Not at all for me. The gecko rendering engine is by far the fastest I've used. Beats IE, konqueror, and opera hands down for me. In fact if I plug my laptop up to a fast connection I often don't even see the page render, it's just there.

Not sure why you're having problems.

What is faster than mozilla?
Mozilla loads slashdot faster than IE and Opera, I have all 3 browsers.

Heh. I almost downloaded this thinking it was a KDE version of Mozilla. :)
