It seems that Mozilla’s new release of FireFox 3.5 is a lot faster, but still a bit behind Google’s Chrome.

In our page-loading tests, Firefox 3.5 speeds past Internet Explorer and Safari, but it still can’t catch Google’s browser.

Google Chrome showed the fastest page load time in five of the eight sites we tested it against, with an average page loading time of 1.699 seconds. However, Firefox 3.5 also put on a strong showing, coming in a close second with an average page-loading time of 1.762 seconds. (via PC World)

Safari and IE were not too far behind, so it seems that Google has really forced the issue of JavaScript speed with the introduction of Chrome. This can only be good news for consumers, but it does imply that there will be a lot of work going into the competing browsers over the next few years.
