I think most people don't know this, but you need to download the nightly, NOT the regular version of Firefox (56 as of now) to see the speed increase.
The regular Firefox is much slower than Chrome still. The nightly is now noticeably faster than Chrome.
- rehemiau 9y agoThis all mozilla's bragging about speed is premature. They should've published this article after firefox 57 reaches stable.
- codexon 9y agoYup this article confused me as well. The current stable release 56 just can't compare to chrome. Apparently they have decided 57 is stable already but plan to make it official tomorrow. From my unscientific testing, 57 is only as fast as chrome, while the nightly (59) seems to be faster than chrome. They should have waited until 59 was stable. I would be using the nightly as my main browser if I didn't have experience with crashes and bugs with nightly versions before.
