Slashdot said:

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla has published the first Firefox 4 build that integrates a new Javascript engine that aims to match the performance in IE9 and reduces the gap to Safari, Opera and Chrome. This is really the big news we have been waiting for all along with Firefox 4 and it appears that the Javascript performance is pretty dramatic and seems to beat IE9 at least as far as ConceivablyTech shows. Good to see Mozilla back in the game." The Mozilla blog gives a good overview of the improvements this brings; Tom's Hardware also covers the release.


Good stuff. I'm tired of slow Javascript (especially in the new "high tech" forums. Slower posting than before they mainly used JS ftl.). Not too fond of the new UI though.

I'm just wondering how they're planning to integrate that GUI with Linux or OSX. Or even older versions of Windows?

What's your opinion? herp

Okay so I have been using the BETA for some time now.

It's about x2000 faster than Firefox 3 and 40000 times more stable. Amazing.

Pretty good improvement, all my add ons worked pretty much straight away, but then again, I only have 2 ;D
