Swiftfox: optimized Mozilla Firefox build for GNU/Linux

I hate Mozilla Firefox being so slow on Ubuntu, so today I tried Swiftfox and it feels faster. Not as fast as my old Gentoo build without damn gtk support (I use kde), but it’s an improvement. You can try it yourself:

echo "deb http://getswiftfox.com/builds/debian unstable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get update
apt-get install swiftfox-$YOUR_PROCESSOR
