Just three days ago they added a new one that allowed executing linux shell scripts through dogdy urls. Firefox, on average, has been getting a higher number of problems found per-month than IE overall (which is a concern). For a free browser, it beats the pants off anything else out there.Īs for security, if you look at secunia, you will see that of late IE has actually not had many problems found. Scrolling that page in firefox generates nearly 100% cpu usage (for approx 15fps) where in opera its still extremly smooth, and around 30-40% cpu. At the same time, opera shows no sign of any performance hit. Opening up the last few pages was quite noticably slower, and scrolling on the last page was probably about 15fps, so not all that quick (given it was mostly text only). I opened up firefox 1.5, and opened up all the same pages in tabs (remember, no histories), and it used up 70mb ram, 60mb virtual memory. It's using just over 50mb of ram, 50mb of virtual memory. I have 13 tabs open at the moment, each with long back histories (that pop up instantly when you click back) - some pages go back ~40 pages, probably average of 20 history pages each tab (saved sessions over many days).
