I had tried swiftfox a wee while back, but it was both more out of date than the squeeze ff and the AMD64 build didnt work, they seem to have fixed both of these problems. While I was comparing browsers I did some quick and dirty benchmarking, results here [1] With swiftfox AMD64 (downloaded from there site today) showing as Firefox, both firefox versions used the same profile (xmarks, adblocker, lastpass, flashblock and a few other gui tweaks). swiftfox is noticeably faster than iceweasel, so thats a keeper, thanks!
