New Firefox for Androids starts faster and uses less memory, it has higher-quality image scaling, enhanced Firefox experience on large screen tablets, improvements to the form helper on Android, fresh visual style on Gingerbread OS, optimization for pages that use right to left layout rendering, e.g. in Hebrew and Arabic, touch Events for better interaction with Web pages, indexed DB allows Web pages to store data offline for faster access, automatic text hyphenation.

Compared to previous builds of Firefox for Android it does seem a bit quicker but not by a huge margin.
