Have you actually tested?
I've been testing Mozilla since long before Phoenix > Firebird > Firefox. In recent weeks I've been keeping concurrently open on my 11.2 24/7 box: SeaMonkey 2.1bX (no plugins, no unbundled extensions; browser & Chatzilla windows) SeaMonkey 2.0.X (OS RPM; plugins, no unbundled extensions; browser & email windows) Firefox 2.0.0.X (supposed to be no plugins-need to fix this, 4 extensions) Firefox 3.6.x (OS RPM; plugins, 4 extensions) Firefox 4.0bX (no plugins, DOMI & Feedback extensions) If your email app was showing the UA of my message as my SM 2.1bX does, you'd see I'm sending this from (Mozilla) beta software.

Not counting insane startup time (because bookmarks.html has been replaced by places.sqlite, forcing import on every start in order to use common bookmarks), the only speed difference I would ever notice (on Linux) is if the back button would ever just reload from cache instead of obeying @#$^#$ website directives to load the whole thing from scratch virtually always. Speed to me is otherwise a non-issue. What I do notice is they're all memory pigs, and too often huge CPU hogs. Currently 5 of the top 6 memory users are Mozilla, and 7th is plugin-containe. Xorg is currently #2.

Reload, stop, home, zoom, new tab are either missing or way off in Timbuktu. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621520 Nowhere do I ever see the word "Done" when a page has finished loading.
