:scared: me :blush:

I am truly mystified by this one, it does have the most built in shit of any browser out, is 110% reliable and stable and is very easy to configure and tweak as you see fit.

By contrast, IE = virus magnet, Firefox is catching up on that score while leading the pack for memory leaks. Safari seems to work fine on a Mac but I don't dig the layout personally, Chrome (beta) broke my network settings when I uninstalled it due to it being a steaming pile of cow dung.

To each their own I guess :morpheus:

no if you're a LOGICAL person you'll figure out that any browser has some advantages and disadvantages ! opera has many some good point , too . but when you can get those advantages with extensions to firefox and have features , speed and etc advantages in firefox . it's stupid to do that ?! you say that if we hang on opera for those advantages and leave firefox features are more logical ?! :blink:

that's why i called it's important to firefox is a OPEN SOURCE browser !!!

i think layman's browser would be IE not opera ! opera users are who is more sophisticated in web browsing and want to have full integrated browser but after a while if you use firefox and you its extensions you'll know that over 80% of opera advantages found in firefox extensions . so what's wrong to use firefox ?

and about hellcamino who said that firefox use more memory it's related to you're using . in cold start yes but in warm start no ! even if it use more memory it will be smooth and without hanging !

All the reports I can find show Opera as the fastest browser with one exception.

javacsript. Fx takes the cake there.

BUT...

Fx is not a full standard complaint browser apparently either only scoring a 75 on the acid test.

Everything I have read shows Opera nudging out the new Safari in speedtests.


Perhaps there are extensions that you are using that is making Fx faster?

Firefox 3.6 was so faster than opera 9.6x but i'll test again with Opera 10 to have a new charts but in javascript i sure that FX is faster .

but attention that firefox gets 96 on acid test so it could be a complaint browser . if you see those other tests that firefox failed in acid 3 you figure out it's not so important things for the proof you can see most of the websites are complaint on fx but not has a good view on opera .

i suggest you to use firefox 3.6 a1pre and tell me your feedback about speed . I think 3.6 is fastest but again if you want faster there are some tweaks you can do . nothing is fixed in firefox :D

3.6 does seem faster.

me too :green9:

Me three...:confused4:

I have not tried Fx 3.6

I recently was running 3.5, and it works, it is definitely a decent browser. Deal breaker for me was no "fit ti width" button. Once you have used it you just can not live with out it ohcrap

There is a "fit ti width" extension for Fx, but I think it does the exact opposite of what it does in opera. I believe the extension stretches sites to fill the whole window, for all those people that designed their sites in photoshop and did not know that you can use percentages instead of fixed pixel widths when setting up a website, so you get that stripe in the center of the page. Opera's shrinks pictures down to the width of your window so when you are reading forums and people post giant pictures the forum retains readability.

Speed, yah Fx really dominates the javascript speed tests, not sure what that means TBH, as I am not a developer.
