That's a pretty huge boost from beta 3 to beta 4 (or final).

Firefox 3 to finally get a BIG Javascript performance boost
- Thread starter Anusha
- Start date
The first line is GREEK for me...Anusha said:Most addons can be tricked to work in Firefox 3, using Nightly Tester Tools and diabling the checking of "Secure Updates". Google and find out
Firefox 2 is a piece of crap!
The second, well...have been using it for one and a half years...no trouble encountered....
Opinions change fast when you switch boats....
Bet you used FF2 at some point of time....
Of course had to use it when there wasn't an alternativelahirumam said:The first line is GREEK for me...

Now Opera is doing well, I think I can stick to it. But if Firefox gives the same performance as Opera, I will switch the boats again. Here, I'm not talking about the web performance ONLY. Of course its caching and the JS performance is much superior to Firefox (Opera 9.26 vs Firefox 2.0.0.12) and it uses a lot less memory too, but the main difference I see in terms of performance is the feeling you get when you use the two browsers. I feel Firefox is very heavy and has a lot of inertia. Opera is smooth and fast and feels as if it is very light weighted.
Kestrel still has some problems, just like Firefox 3. I'm waiting for the final releases of both products to compare and embrace the one that gives best return.
Agree...I got the same feeling when I was using SEA MONKEY, mozilla's other browser....It has an ancient looking windows 98 kinda interface....but when you use it you get the feeling "dude this is fast"....but can't stick to it....FF has forced me into their web...Anusha said:Of course had to use it when there wasn't an alternative

I just ran the tests on a virtual PC with Opera Kestrel latest build and Firefox nightly (not even the further optimized one) and I scored:lahirumam said:Agree...I got the same feeling when I was using SEA MONKEY, mozilla's other browser....It has an ancient looking windows 98 kinda interface....but when you use it you get the feeling "dude this is fast"....but can't stick to it....FF has forced me into their web...
Opera: 6642.8ms +/- 4.7%
Firefox: 3788.2ms +/- 3.1%
That's pretty hardcore! Opera used to nail everything out there, up until now. And this is on Kestrel! Amazing. Time to test the PGO one

Exactly...That's one reason I stopped using FF 3 beta 2...Anusha said:But there is one problem. I can't use these betas, because they screw up the profiles
