Even tho I ain't a fan of Firefox, considering latest version of both Firefox and Cyberfox (35.0), what observations do you have in terms of usage, resource usage, pros and cons?

We do however know that Firefox had improved its stability, memory usage etc over the time.

On a side note, I did try Cyberfox on an older system and did notice a faster loading time on some pages compared to Firefox but then again, because I do not use it on a daily basis, cannot fully draw my conclusions.

Cyberfox gets my vote i have both but i think SlimJet x64 beats them hands down. ;)
Would you elaborate on your opinion for SlimJet?
Out of curiosity, wouldn't the 32 bit version be enough considering the increase on Slimjet x64?

As for Cyberfox vote, is it because of x64 support?

I agree with frogboy because Firefox is freezing on my system when Cyberfox is not.
I also have been using Slimjet x64 and i can tell you that it's faster from both Mozilla browsers. As for RAM usage it's about the same with Cyberfox but some times it uses a bit more CPU.
I forgot to mention that i have both Cyberfox and Slimjet on my system like frogboy.
I also have MxNitro a new Maxthon browser which is good but still needs work. http://usa.maxthon.com/mxnitro/
Another Mozilla based browser is PaleMoon which for me is the most stable of Mozilla based browsers and it's speed is the same with the others. http://www.palemoon.org/.
I hope i have helped:).

Cyberfox, Waterfox and other Gecko derivatives have compiled for better performance in browsing experience so assume it should not cause any crashes may happen, + continuous updates from the original developere itself.

A few months ago I would have answered favorably to Cyberfox. However, the x64 version of Firefox works fine on my computer (W10 PRO 64 8Gb RAM) and is much more comfortable to maintain as it is updated automatically and Cyberfox have to be re-installing the program and in my case also , the language pack. Not notice the difference in performance but is more comfortable, for me, Firefox. Then it has my vote
