Mozilla addressing speed with latest Firefox 3.0 builds

s.metcalf

Mozilla seems to be acknowledging speed issues in its Firefox web browser by adopting an updated rendering engine and architectural improvements that have significantly improved speed in the latest Firefox 3.0 beta. The Firefox 2.0 browser has been known to be one of the most sluggish browsers available, a fact that other companies such as Apple have highlighted in speed comparison tests. Mozilla also claims to have fixed more than 300 memory leaks. Full release notes available at:

I'm using beta 2 with the new skin under Leopard and it is pretty good. Still it has issues with the url entering/searching history bit. It starts too broad and too slow. Additionally it needs some way to perhap note which tab is foremost and allow flash to be dealt with as it really gets big, bloated and slow when I have my usual 10-20 tabs open.
