Javascript is really a bottleneck on HTML render cause most of that HTML (and I must say XML too) is rendered only after a JS function is executed, commonly named AJAX. So, yes, javascript is a bottleneck.
[/quote]
Maybe you're right. Maybe... 
But in real life I take one of the most AJAXed web-sites - webOS (eyeOS.org) and gave KM (1.6b2) and FF (4.0.1) a try on this sample. I can't see any FF advantage in speed of working there. Otherwise, KM was sometimes notably faster.[/quote]
But we are comparing there a very similar GRE version, or, at least, both have JIT (Just In Time) new JS engine.
[quote=rodocop]Per contra, old KM just refuses to load some JS-rich pages and this is real restriction that leads to mass migration on the new version. But if KM works on page (on REAL existing page!) it does this not slower than FF right now.
Possibly, there are some rare exclusions, but I didn't meet them yet :-)[/quote]
Yes, that's true. (But remember that if KM refuses some JS sites is because of JIT version/implementation on that version)
But with javascript enabled, we could say something like:
KM1.6b2 against FF4.0: very similar
KM1.6b2 against FF7.0: notable differences
KM1.1.x-1.5.x against FF4.0: notable differences
KM1.1.x-1.5.x against FF7.0: maybe no words to describe ;)
KM1.1.x-1.5.x against KM1.6-1.7: huge difference.
Without javascript enabled, not very important differences (beyond display layout because of HTML version implementation).

It should be a default toolbars.cfg instead a per skin toolbars.cfg to, at least, let the skins take the default layout for each skin. Then a profile toolbars.cfg to allow personal tweaks and override, then,  default ones.
In other words, standardize them.[/quote]
This is one way. And reasonable way. But regardless of standard presence my query deserves attention too: even if we get unified toolbar, we also need GUI tool for configuring it, as in FF.[/quote]
That could be an interesting suggestion: some kind of a toolbar wysiwyg GUI editor/customizer :)[/quote]

Sorry, what?
Considering long term browser usage and bandwidth, no Firefox version is faster than Kmeleon. In fact, Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 5.0.1 are slower and poorly efficient than Kmeleon 1.5.4 and Internet Explorer 9. I'm writing this post with Firefox 3.6.19 with 14 extensions enabled, and its performance and stability is incredible. Gecko branch 1.9.2.x is the best so far. o.O[/quote]
