Can't they simply check out their competitor's version number and apply "plus one" during the build process? :p

IPC (OOPP) wasn't really enhanced or is still buggy especially with flash (resource consumption) :(
Still no 2D canvas acceleration for XP like Chromium and Opera have included it via their OpenGL Engines :(
No Multithreaded Gecko yet like in Fennec still 1 process space for rendering (gecko) and gui (chrome) :(

Improvements i see so far seems to be though a lot of small ones that in combination add up to a huge subjective improvement, especially startup time is one of the things which flips immediately into the eye (even with a lot of extensions used). Technical deficiencies aside it still feels smooth and competitive and still the extensions are compensating subjectively 80% of these soa features missing hehe :)
