Recently Mozilla foundation announced a new experimental browser called minefield. At this moment it is not even in beta, but more of an alpha release. No matter though as, it is reportedly stable (more than what I can say for Chrome) and it is bleeding,lightning fast. Ars Technica performed some tests and cocnluded that it is even faster than Google's v8 Javascript engine. Minefield is a hybrid of firefox with the new tracemonkey javascript engine under the hood. You can download the latest nightly build from here.
Any javascript site I have used feels like a breeze. Try opening a heavy portal or Google Documents to see the difference. Being on constant development it gets better eveyday. 2 days ago it would refuse to load any document from Google but today's build loads everything just fine. Give it a try to see what the future holds for Firefox.
