[dba-Tech] New Firefox

[Jim Lawrence]

According to what I understand, the new Firefox is apparently taking advantage of the new programming capabilities and hardware.

...The use of true multi-tasking across multiple cores and taking advantage of hardware acceleration both in the CPU and GPU. Things like real-time graphic, sound and even program compression and decompression are allowing far greater performance. 

Of course we will be able to test the various FF version upgrades in the next few months and see if all the hype is really justified.

On the sites I use I could be using version 1 and the experience would still be great. I don't understand all this browser stuff at all. Bit like social media just escapes me.
