Firefox Announces List ofSlow Performing Addons

Firefox 4 was supposed to be revolutionary and in some way with certain features like Panorama, Firefox did make some advances. The biggest advantage for Firefox has been browser add-ons and the developer community around it. Chrome has recently stole the thunder when it comes to browser. Chrome has a simpler interface devoid of clutter and also more importantly is often called the fastest browser around. Firefox 4 has inherited the reputation that it is a drag on the resources along with being slow when it comes to starting. So now Mozilla has put out a list of slow Add-ons.

Mozilla’s List of Slow Firefox add-ons
Mozilla will automatically perform tests on the top 100 Addons which are downloaded and the results will be displayed. Soon warnings will show up to alert users about an Add-on beng slow from the add-on gallery itself. This might all be great news for Firefox fans, but I can see quite a few developers being angry that their add- ons are being targeted unfairly or even that they are being shamed like this in public. But I guess, Mozilla has no choice but to carry out such an exercise. We can already see that majority of the popular Addons do not work with Firefox 4 and this might push some developers to update their addons which is a necessity. If you use Firefox, do look up this list and drop in your comments here on your views.
