Mozilla Firefox 6 review

Now there’s Firefox 6.

Firefox updates used to creep out under small incremental version numbers, such as 3.6.4. 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.

And Firefox 6 isn’t a minor upgrade.

Firefox 6 speed increases

The first reason to upgrade to Firefox 6 is speed, although that point is debatable.

According to Mozilla, startup times with Firefox 6 are better than on Firefox 5, especially if a user is using Firefox's Panorama feature.

Panorama allows users to organize tabs into groups. Any speed improvements over the sluggish performance of Firefox 5 is welcome news for users, but overall performance of Firefox's latest incarnation appears to be more problematic.

Firefox 6 had a score of 4.572 when Howley ran Peacemaker on it. That's slightly lower than Firefox 5, which scored 4.733. By comparison, Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 scored 4.830 and Chrome got 8.400.

So what’s wrong with Firefox 6?

Just like Firefox 5 before it, Firefox 6 will break some of your favourite add-ons. What worked just fine in Firefox 4 may well not work at all in Firefox 5 or 6. If Mozilla keeps releasing new versions of Firefox every couple of months the security issues of each version are never fully patched. Firefox users can’t really do anything but upgrade their favourite web browser.
