I did test it and Firefox for Windows beats the hell out of the Linux |
| 10 |
version in every test. You can search for "javascript benchmark", |
| 11 |
"firefox benchmark" and stuff like that and take all tests you find. |

Windows Firefox is always faster. Even running it in Wine under Linux |
| 13 |
(though slower than native Windows) is much faster than the Linux version. |

Firefox would never get away with this kind of performance with Windows |
| 16 |
users and it would never become so popular as it is now. Sometimes we |
| 17 |
just have to face the fact that for Mozilla, we're second-class citizens |
| 18 |
when compared to Windows users. |
