Firefox 6
http://mashable.com/2011/08/15/firefox-6-download/
Firefox 6 isn’t scheduled to be released until Tuesday, but Mozilla has uploaded installation files to a FTP server for those who want to get their hands on the upgraded browser early.
Although the new version doesn’t sport any major UI changes, the browser is reportedly 20% faster than Firefox 5. Startup time has been improved, especially for those with lots of tabs and groups. Users can now determine whether they want to load their tab groups when launching the browser, or load them within the Panorama grouping tool.
Other improvements include a new permissions feature that allows users to set site-specific permissions for a number of variables, including passwords and pop-ups; a plugins check, which lets users see if they’re running the latest versions of their extensions; highlighted domain names in the address bar; an improved Web Console; and a Scratchpad tool for developers testing JavaScript within the browser.
Installation files are available for Windows, Mac and Linux systems.

I have IE9 at work and I continually have problems. One of which is that flash refuses to load, multi-tasking between tabs takes forever and frequently crashes, and I routinely work faster than the browser can keep up with (tab switching, refreshing, etc.)
