FireFox 9 released with faster JavaScript engine

Carl Muller December 20, 2011 Channel

Mozilla have released Firefox 9 which features some new code changes, including a faster Javascript engine. Reports show that this engine is up to 30% faster in most instances which should improve performance on some websites.

This new Javascript addition is called ‘Type Inference' and Mozilla have also improved the code for Macintosh OSX users, with new swipe navigation and theme integration.

Kitguru says: Is this the fastest Javascript browser now available? Its still open to debate, but the latest Firefox is certainly right up with the best.
