As expected, the Mozilla Project has now officially released version 9.0 of its open source Firefox web browser. Based on the Gecko 9.0 rendering engine, Firefox 9.0 brings under the hood changes that improve JavaScript performance by up to 30 per cent; early tests by ExtremeTech confirmed Mozilla's estimates, but found that it could also occasionally be slower.
