   They really need to push out a new Firefox... Its getting insane having to update the browser more often than Windows itself.

   Tengeta, I'm afraid that the days where a product ships in it's final form are over. The internet has made it so that updates offer an easy way to fix mistakes or problems not identified in beta testing. And with the internet's ubiquitous access there just isn't enough reason to make a product really good, it just has to be really close.

   I've seen Safri 4 was the fastest and 3.5 times faster than Firefox 3 in related benchmark article. But the Firefox used for comparision was Firefox 3.0.Will the result change when compared with 'Firefox 3.2 alpha 1'?

   I think I will stay with Firefox 3.0.6 .It works will for me , on Ubuntu 8.10 and I have lots of Bookmarks , and life would get complicated using multiple browsers.Some people do it for fun but I like the simple life.

   [b]Originally posted by powerhan96:[/b][quote]Will the result change when compared with 'Firefox 3.2 alpha 1'?[/quote]Firefox 3.1 will also bring java script  performance enhancements. It seems that's one of the big features the new wave of browsers will bring after they focused on the application's memory footprint optimization last time (all except IE anyway).What most of those tests won't tell you is that the relative gain in JS performance will hardly translate in noticeable speed improvements in your web browsing or experience, unless you are visiting a JS heavy website.

   I notice java enables websites really eat into CPU process. Wonder if the new Java enchancements will make java enables pages work more smoothly for lower powered PC's. I think flash needs some work in that department too. I mean some of these myspace pages are so glitch slow on anything less than a 2Ghz machine with lots of ram...Something isn't right there
