The test shows that Firefox is 3.6 faster than 15%.

Before the official release of Firefox 3.6, Mozilla has always said that Firefox 3.6 will speed up by 3.5 Based on Firefox 20%. Now Firefox 3.6 has been officially released. Does it speed up by 20% as Mozilla said? ComputerWorld has verified this. The results show that Firefox 3.6 is 3.5 faster than Firefox 15%, but it is still far behind Safari and Chrome, which are the benchmark for browser speed.

ComputerWorld selects the Windows XP SP3 platform and uses the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark test package to perform three tests on the five browsers and take the average value. The test results show that Firefox 3.6 is the third among the five browsers, surpassing Opera 10 and IE8, but it is no match for Apple Safari and Google Chrome, especially in JavaScript, the rendering speed of Safari and Chrome is almost twice that of Firefox 3.6.

In the Acid3 Benchmark Test on DOM, CSS2, SVG, and other standard compatibility conditions of browsers, Firefox 3.6 has not significantly improved compared with the test version for a long time, and its score is 92. Safari, Chrome, and Opera both scored a full score of 100. Of course, Firefox 3.6 is much better than IE8, and its score is only 24.

According to statistics from various research institutions, Firefox's global market share has exceeded 25%, and remains stable and rising. The popularity of Firefox is evident. Mozilla also claims on its official website that Firefox 3.6 is the "Best Web browser in the world" comprehensively. It seems that Mozilla is quite satisfied with the new browser.
