Mozilla Delivers Faster, Sharper Firefox 18

Mozilla has released Firefox 18, which gives the company's flagship desktop browser a new, faster JavaScript engine, support for Retina screen Macs and preliminary support for WebRTC. This release is largely focused on speeding up Firefox and marks the public debut of a new faster JavaScript JIT compiler dubbed "IonMonkey." Here's the bottom line: Firefox 18 has a faster JIT compiler, which means JavaScript-heavy web apps, games and pages like Gmail should be faster. For more details on everything that’s new in Firefox 18 – including a new HTML scaling algorithm that promises to make images sharper – be sure to read through Mozilla's release notes.
