Today Mozilla released Firefox 3.5 calling it a major update to browser delivers significant performance improvements, privacy enhancements, support for new Web standards, and greater customization options. We tested with Zimbra interface and were quite pleased with the results.
Mozilla claims Firefox 3.5 to be the best performing browser Mozilla has ever released. The newest version of Firefox is more than two times faster than Firefox 3 and ten times faster than Firefox 2 on complex websites. Like the new version of Safari, it includes a new javascript treewalker - delivering radically improved JavaScript performance. The improved Javascript performance was quite a welcome improvement to have in Zimbra’s Admin web client - an area that in not currently supported by WebKit at the moment. The overall web interface itself is fast - although I prefer using Safari on the Mac for day to day business email. Overall we found the interface to be faster to navigate.
The other area that we are really excited about is native JSON support and Location Aware Browsing and the opportunities to use Zimlets that take advantage of this capability.
