Trying this at the moment under Returnil.

All I can say is it's blindingly fast at loading pages on here. I'm genuinely gob smacked, although as expected none of my extensions are compatible.

Because of that I'm comparing it with running 3.5.2 in Safe Mode (no addons), and it's fast.

Yeah same here. It's blazingly fast and even faster than my Chromium!

What is considerably faster without the add-ons for version 3.5.2 than with the add-ons?

I can't actually see any difference speed wise between my FF 3.5.2 with or without my addons, but I thought to give a more accurate opinion by running both 3.5.2 and 3.6.1 on a level playing field.

about:config

new boolean?

extensions.checkCompatibility

set as false?

Have no reason to. I simply wanted to give it a whirl under Returnil out of curiosity, and it's now off my system.

I'm still using 3.0.11. Later versions seem to vomit all over my system.
