“Over the last year or so, Firefox has become better
known in tech savvy circles for its relatively poor performance and
mediocre memory management. Chrome’s insane speed and Internet
Explorer 8’s overall improvement have also dinged Firefox’s
reputation. But now, Firefox 3.5 is almost ready to go. Does it
have what it takes?“I downloaded the latest beta, Firefox 3.5 beta 4, to find out
for myself. I used it on two different PCs. The first was my
workhouse Windows XP SP3 system, and the other was my Fedora 10
computer. The XP box was a Dell Inspiron 530S with a 2.2-GHz Intel
Pentium E2200 dual-core processor, 4GBs of RAM, a 500GB SATA drive
and an Integrated Intel 3100 GMA (Graphics Media Accelerator). For
Fedora, I used a Gateway GT5622 desktop with a 1.8GHz Intel Pentium
E2160 dual-core CPU, 3GBs of RAM, a 400GB SATA drive, and an Intel
950 GMA.”
