Its been around a month Firefox 5 is released and now Mozilla shoots down the latest benchmark in its browser journey and have released Firefox 6 today. Firefox 6 has gone through 4 beta releases before it actually released the final version.
Mozilla claims that the web browsing experience will speed up by at least 20% with Firefox 6. In a recent browser test between various browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer) Firefox proved to the best in Page Caching and is only next to Chrome in page loading time, check out the complete test results. With the latest enhancements in Firefox 6, surely Firefox will emerge as the winner in the browser wars (i.e, Firefox 6 vs Chrome 13).
