Firefox 55, 56 browser can open 1,500 tabs easily

The debate about the best browser in the world is unlikely to end soon. While Google Chrome is still considered the most popular browser, there are still complaints about speed and performance. Mozilla's Firefox is no stranger to similar criticism.

However, the new version of Firefox may bring significant improvements in performance. Versions 55 and 56 of Firefox, still in development, are expected to support unimaginable tabs and still function normally.In an example given by Firefox developers, it has opened 1,691 tabs, which the browser still works normally does not matter.

Dietrich Ayala, a developer of Mozilla Firefox, recently shared how he used to open multiple tabs on the Firefox browser, see how fast and smooth the browser can run. The report said initially, it took several minutes to open and another time to open more tabs. But the new version of Firefox removes all that. He compared Firefox 51 to the new Firefox version 55 and the results were completely different.

The old Firefox 51 took 8 minutes to complete the job while the new version took less than a minute - exactly 15 seconds. The project, called Quantum Flow, is working to improve the browser interaction speed. In order to ensure that the test was accurate, he turned off all other applications on the MacBook and the test only enabled Mozilla Firefox. WiFi is also turned off. New Firefox also uses less memory, freeing up space to open more tabs when browsing the web.

The new version of Firefox will open the number of tabs you can't believe

Ayala says that he only estimates and does not calculate the exact time, just open and see how long it takes to load a page. Since WiFi has been turned off, the way you calculate it will be based on the time required to download the 'Server Not Available' page.

Regarding how to measure memory, he said: 'With memory, I waited a minute after I turned it on and then took the value from about: memory. I chose 1 minute because I found that when I first opened up the memory, it usually increased in 1 minute, then it would stabilize for a long time after that. '

He experimented with many versions of Firefox, from 20, 30 to 40, 50, 56 and interestingly, until version 51, the speed and response time were low. Once launched, Firefox may attract more people and chase Google Chrome closer in the battle between browsers.

What we need to do now is sit still and wait to see if it is true that Firefox will open 1,500 tabs and still use it well?
