Yes.

Great Googley Moogley! I'm sold.

Negligible? Are you kidding?
It's 250-300%.

I'm not kidding. If my salary increases 250-300%, that's substantial. If the amount I give to charity (under 10 roubles) increases 250-300%, that's negligible.
They went from 18ms down to 2ms. That's also negligible.

Are you ****ing serious? It's a BENCHMARK SUITE. Its sample size is small but the representation is important.

At work we're working on a huge mapping webapp. We'll have 500 or so "pins" on a fullscreen map in the browser, and we want to cluster ones X many pixels from eachother. It's all done by JS.

Right now in IE8 it takes about 5 seconds to compute each time the map is moved. On FF3 it took about 2. Now it takes well under 1.

This is a huge and noticable improvement. As webapps get increasingly more complex (like Google Apps), a 200-300% improvement in JS speed is MASSIVE.

I am completely baffled how you cannot comprehend the value in this speed boost. It's NOT negligible.

Hell, run Google's JS benchmark suite. FF3 runs it in 30 mins, FF3.5 runs it in 12. Tell me that's negligible.

depends on your taste

I used to like Naver and now I use Daum. It's very similar to the basic but gives a slightly different shade and feel

Do you question my right to troll you?
However, I'd rather people didn't use JS for computation-intensive tasks; it's a weakly, dynamically typed language with prototype-based objects. It's not its forte. I'm okay with actually downloading an application to my computer.

Another reason that Safari and Chrome, etc are inferior:

The guys who wrote that piece sound like pretentious douchebags, Asher. I thought you had better sense than that...

onodera..try this out in Opera vs Firefox and tell me the speed is negligible.

No big surprise.

Blargh, no mouse gestures or tab mix plus.

I think that Firefox on my computer was using 1.3GB of my CPU, So I think that there is a memory leak( well not a leak but it should not be using that much memory and increase every second,) in the program, since it started out as using about 77MB and now it is using nearly 100MB, which is very disturbing.

Why?

The new Firebug versions work great in FF3.5. They're actually even faster.

[ffdfriendforurr]

Are you using the betas?

[Obenuearema]

I've been using the Firebug betas for months without any issue.
