New Firefox Runs Like a Rabbit

Image
New version releases of browsers don't get the buzz they used to get, but Firefox Quantum is an exception. The latest version of the Mozilla Foundation's browser, released Tuesday, is all about performance. Firefox is twice as fast as it was a year ago, Mozilla claimed. It is not only fast on startup -- it remains zippy even when taxed by multitudes of tabs.

Instead of using channel (rear-left speaker, for example), it assigns sounds to a place (rear-left corner, 8-feet high).
