tgdaily.com — Mozilla has admitted the next point release of its Firefox browser, slated for release this month, won't appear until some time in Q1 2010 and the next major release, originally targeted for the middle of next year, is likely to slip into 2011.

That's cool they have been working at a break neck speed for 3 or 4 years now , I'm not mad at them.

@computershack:i agree with you to an extent, and the end of that extent is Blizzard. Granted, every game they have ever released has been a GOTY. but im sure if it was Blizzard devloping firefox instead of mozilla that we wouldnt see a new version until 2015. and then when 2015 rolled around they'd push it back another year...

Wow, are you really complaining that a product is going through 5 testing phases (betas)! That's how memory leaks, security lapses, and other bugs get squashed... I for one would rather use a good product next year than a s**tty one this year.

I bet not. Safari has been fastest for a while now. If you don't believe safari is fastest, then at least believe webkit nightlies are.

What's wrong with safari for mac?

Check out the stats then - fastest javascript engine, new graphics engine with support for hardware acceleration, etc.

...meantime the WebKit browsers are going to eat Firefox's lunch.

Good, web developers are perfectly happy to not have ANOTHER major version to deal with already.If onyl MS could make a browser that supported modern CSS without bugs and perhaps HTML 5, and then leave it alone for like 4 years, we'll be all set.

Try installing NoScript (noscript.net) and AdBlock Plus add-ons in Firefox. Helps a lot.Most sites, you do not need Flash/Java/JavaScript. Plus, with certain animation-playing plugins, there is a certain suspicion that the might be leaking memory or causing broader problems.NoScript lets you control what domains get to run what content on your browser. It is your computer. Big companies make big mistakes sometimes. So this gives you protection against web-drive buys while you are standing in front of their place just wanting to read text.I found if I let my free diskspace down to a couple gigs and run a few hefty apps, like email and a couple browsers, my apps get sluggish and it is hard to get them fast again and takes a while to even exit. Five GB seems like a good minimum for speed.Also, if FF started running really slow, make sure you do not have a toolbar or add-on trying to save all your bookmarks to the web or something like that. Make sure you have things disabled like that, unless you intend to have it on and need the functionality more than a fast browser.
