This is due to Mozilla's new JavaScript JIT compiler IonMonkey, which was originally designed to adapt new Optimizations to the current jägermonkey architecture. It can be used on ARM, 32-bit, and 64-bit platforms, quickly translate JavaScript code locally.

In terms of security, Firefox 18 beta can disable insecure content on https pages and support W3C.
