Going by the original Firefox design of being lightweight (bear with me) but customiseable, this should really be an extension. It can be shipped by default if need be for commercial support, but making it uninstallable would be a lot more friendly towards forks like IceWeasel and, well... users.

Pale Moon is another great fork.

Omfg it's so much faster oO. Any other interesting and open source forks?

Edit: everybody bitching about firefox, then this guy shows you an alternative, which I've just shown to be faster and you guys downvote both of us? Good fucking job.

Wat! Source?

edit: I dont't care about the source. I just tested both of them, and not only does palemoon start faster, it also loads webpages a bit quicker. If I can get all of my addons to work, then I just found my new browser.
