Mozilla speeds up Firefox 3.6 by fifteen percent – Boosts Javascript speed

Mozilla’s new iteration of it’s popular Firefox browser runs up to fifteen percent faster than it’s predecessor, various reports indicate. This, however, still puts the browser behind the speedier Google Chrome and Apple Safari browsers. JavaScript three times faster than Opera 10 and more than four times faster than that paragon of pokeyness, Internet Explorer.

Mozilla Firefox accounts for 25 percent of all browser use, worldwide. Internet Explorer boasts 63 percent of the market share and feisty upstart Google Chrome captures just 5 percent.
