Ars Technica has published some benchmark findings of the latest Firefox 3 beta 4.

I’ve been running every released version of the beta as my main browser, hey might as well go whole hog. I hope my feedback and bug reports have helped! :)

And I have to say from personal experience/observation that, yes, the memory footprint seems to be very good, and page rendering speeds are very good (haven’t done any benchmarks my self). This latest release has been a delight to use.

An interesting thing in that article is the comments at the end regarding the mobile web. Probably a salvo at Apple, as there is still uncertainty about Firefox on the iPhone.

These types of comments are coming up more and more and it is just more proof about where the web industry is turning its eye, the momentum is definitely picking up speed.

Imagine the day when proprietary browsers on the handset are old news, and we get to choose between browsers competing against each other on speed, memory usage, usability, etc.
