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

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.

Thats just an extension for remembering what pages what zoom level.

The Thing that opera does is shrink images to fit in the window, without changing anything else about the page. (IE Text and layout display as they should.)
