“Firefox 4.0 is probably going to be one among the most
important release Mozilla team has ever made. Competition is
breathing down its neck like never before. Even IE, in its latest
avatar(read IE9) is fast becoming a better piece of software.
Mozilla’s answer to all this lies in upcoming Firefox 4.0. Already
a lot of improvements have been made. But the biggest change is
going to be the the new JavaScript engine called “JaegerMonkey”.

“Firefox 4 is Really Important from Mozilla’s Perspective

“Firefox used to be my favorite browser for years. But when the
release of Google Chrome and its unbranded sibling Chromium
happened[Learn more on the difference between the two], I was awed
by the amount of improvements I saw with these new bunch of
browsers. It was exactly like switching from IE to Firefox back in
those days. And I never looked back since.”
