  • Early design concepts for Mozilla Firefox indicate that the browser continues to bend toward the light emanating from Google Chrome
  • Designs released for the interface-focused branch of the nightly version of Firefox reveal a look that brings the browser even closer to looking like its Google competitor, although it definitely has its own approach
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The designs also show that the in-focus tab will get rounded corners, practically identical to tabs in Chrome.
  • However, background tabs will not look like their Chrome counterparts,
  • instead retaining the current rectangular approach.

  • It was only a couple of months ago that we reviewed Mozilla’s Firefox 5 web browser, which came hot on the heels of our Firefox 4 review
  • Firefox 6. It’s hard to keep up with these rapid-fire web browser updates.
  • Firefox updates used to creep out under small incremental version numbers, such as 3.6.4
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • There are more than a thousand changes under the hood of the latest version of Firefox.
  • Google's Chrome web browser isn't much better - already reaching version 10
  • Ancient browser Microsoft Interner Explorer has only recently  staggered to version 9
  • Firefox 6 isn’t a minor upgrade
  • only a few of these changes provide worthwhile reasons for upgrading to the newest release of the browser.
  • Firefox 6 speed increases The first reason to upgrade to Firefox 6 is speed, although that point is debatable.

  • For many years, it was the best Web browser around.
  • Mozilla got serious about improving it
  • The other Web browser developers have caught up and surpassed Firefox.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • last few versions of Firefox haven’t been that good
  • I’ve found one Web site, my bank as it happens, that works fine with Firefox, but it doesn’t recognize Firefox 6 as being a valid Web browser.
  • This version of Firefox also does much better than previous versions at managing memory
  • I know that Firefox 7 will have better memory management. I also know that Firefox 7 is due out on September 27th
  • Firefox 6, the newest version, is better than Firefox 5, but it’s not that great either.
  • Just because Mozilla developers are paid to keep up with constant change doesn’t mean that individual developers or small independent software vendors (ISV)s can keep up.
  • I ran not only Firefox, but Chrome 13 and Internet Explorer (IE) 9 to see how Firefox 6 compared to its chief rivals
  • Firefox, once more, didn’t do well on Web standards.
  • Firefox really fell behind with 4,588 points. On this benchmark, IE surged ahead with a score of 8,343 to Chrome 13’s 8,010.
  • The other browsers are better
  • I wish I coud still recommend Firefox, but I can’t.

  • Meanwhile, Laptop magazine's Dan Howley takes full stock of the speed of Firefox 6, which was rumored to be substantially faster than Firefox 5.
  • measures a browser’s capabilities using Java, Firefox 5 scored 4,733. We then ran Firefox 6 on the same system using Peacekeeper, and recorded a similar score of 4,572

  • Higher scores are better.)
  • Howley says Firefox 6 lagged behind its main competitors on the same Peacekeeper scale
  • score of 4,830, while Chrome managed to score a 8,400
  • Firefox 6 isn't quite as speedy as some analysts had hoped. But hey, maybe Mozilla can correct that in the next major update, due in about 6 weeks.

  • Is there anything revolutionary or Earth-shattering about Firefox 6? No, not really
  • wasn't really any major change
  • Mozilla knows that too
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Pushing out patches to fix security holes or resolve bugs does not qualify as a new version of the browser
  • Firefox 4.1, and Firefox 6 is really just Firefox 4.2
  • Firefox launching a "new version" every six weeks is a nightmare.
  • but it still has 50 percent more market share than Firefox and Chrome combined
  • latest flagship browser from Microsoft--Internet Explorer 9-
  • It breaks add-ons--again
  • 5 was launched, many users complained that it broke add-ons
  • It is filled with serious security vulnerabilities
  • no longer supported by Mozilla
  • Firefox isn't riddled with security holes

  • It seems like just weeks ago we were updating to Firefox 5... Yup, that was just weeks ago
  • Now with Firefox 6, we're provided with a straightforward collection of security updates and tweaks.
  • "more substantial improvements" will come with Firefox 7, including a new JavaScript engine that "uses much less memory."
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Because Firefox 6 is not a major overhaul, the reviews are sparse, but people are still expressing their opinions.
  • Firefox 6 for desktops and laptops contains a number of important stability fixes, as well as some feature improvements, most of which are aimed at developers. There's a new Web Developer menu in Firefox 6, which collates tools for building and debugging Web sites into one location
  • Scratchpad tool, which browsers like Opera and Chrome have had for some time. It allows developers to test JavaScript before implementing it. The web console feature also has a new auto-complete option and can have its location customized
  • 10 major security fixes, including "a WebGL crash, a JavaScript crash, a crash in the Ogg reader, memory safety issues and unsigned scripts. These all affected Firefox 4 and 5.
  • Congrats to Mozilla on shipping Firefox 6
  • Firefox 6 highlights for me: server sent events, web sockets (albeit vendor prefixed) and dataList support."
  • yay, Firefox 6 supports the latest Websocket spec, and finally added eventsource support - long overdue! downloading.
