Mozilla Starts To Follow a New Drumbeat

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday January 11, 2010 @03:32AM from the boom-snikt-snikt-boom dept.

ChiefMonkeyGrinder writes "Key, then, to the Drumbeat project is openness, specifically openness as applied to the Internet. That fits in well with the original impulses behind Mozilla and Firefox. The former was about transforming the Netscape Communicator code into an open source browser, and the latter was about defending open standards from Microsoft's attempt to lock people into Internet Explorer 6 and its proprietary approaches. Both Mozilla and Firefox have succeeded, but the threats have now changed."

Firefox on Linux drags along at a speed slow enough for you to think someone is intentionally sabotaging it.
Its not intentional, but the performance loss you see on OS X and more so, Linux is in a non-trival part due to the crappiness of GCC's optimizer.
