Firefox Takes a 15% Speed Jump
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla's new Firefox 3.6 is about 15%
| faster than its predecessor, Firefox 3.5,
| but still is a slowpoke compared to the
| current speed demons, Apple's Safari and
| Google's Chrome, benchmark tests show.
|
| According to tests run by Computerworld ,
| Firefox 3.6, which Mozilla launched on
| Thursday, is the third fastest of five
| Windows browsers tested. Firefox renders
| JavaScript three times faster than Opera 10
| and more than four times faster than
| Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 (IE8). It's
| also 14.5% faster than Firefox 3.5, the
| Mozilla browser that debuted in June 2009, a
| slightly larger speed increase than Mozilla
| has claimed.

Mozilla Firefox Gets More 'Agile' with Lorentz
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla is now embarking on a new
| development and release model for its
| flagship Firefox open source Web browser.

| and more traditional "waterfall" development
| methodologies in an attempt to more quickly
| iterate new features while maintaining
| backwards compatibility, security and
| overall code quality.

Goofy Pro-Linux Story to Counter Pundit's Awkward Efforts to Install Firefox
,----[ Quote ]
| I do see how arguments arise about whether
| Ubuntu (or any other Linux) is user-
| friendly. In this case I considered it user-
| friendly because it allowed a user with very
| little experience the latitude to muddle
| about until he found a route to the result
| he wanted. I can also see the viewpoint of a
| user in a hurry who is upset because it
| takes more than one push of a button to
| achieve his goal. It's a sensitive balance
| between ease of operation and scope of
| control.

Review: Firefox 3.6 brings joy to Web devs, not just users
,----[ Quote ]
| The PluginCheck feature is made possible by
| a Web service that Mozilla launched last
| year which matches the user's plugin
| versions against a remote database of plug-
| in information. The backend Web service,
| called PFS2, is also used to help users find
| the appropriate plug-ins to enable support
| for certain kinds of content.

Give Firefox 3.5/3.6 The Look Of Firefox 4 For Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| With Firefox 3.6's release earlier today you
| may be falling in love with your browser all
| over again - especially thanks to the
| integration of 'Personas'.
|
| A month or so back we posted the mocked up
| interface to Firefox 4 in Linux and the
| opinion on it was almost unanimous - it
| looked gorgeous!
