Firefox 3 is Comming!
May 21, 2008
Almost there, Firefox 3 release candidate 1 is ready to download. Some say that some of the add-ons are not supported in this release candidate. Due to this compatibility issue, I’m waiting for the final version to come. According to some articles, Firefox 3 is much lighter and faster. Here is excerpt:
Mozilla VP of engineering Mike Schroepfer claims that Firefox 3 is 9.3x faster than Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and 2.7x faster than Firefox 2 in terms of JavaScript performance. In terms of Gmail message load time, he claims Firefox 3 is 6.8x faster than IE7 and 3.8x faster than Firefox 2. And he says Firefox 3 beats Apple’s Safari, which is also faster than Firefox 2.
Hope that memory leaking issue gets resolved in this release. Here are some articles about Firefox3:
