3. Firefox is prepare for the possibility of 64bit
4. Firefox is providing ways for plugins (Flash etc) to draw items and take advantages of hard ware acceleration, flash is on the way of doing it.

Thanks some nice reading there :) looking forward to the release of Firefox 3.0.
 
I wonder if this is kind of a response to this blog post:

And I'm not implying that Safari is innocent of not conforming to the OS. Look at Safari for Windows. Ouch!

although it does seem to address the attack from johan, but Recently mozilla folks have been putting out more than a dozen development reviews, hard to say if its related.
