Even the benchmark folk don't claim that lead for Chrome javascript. Sure there isn't a plugin fouling up.

They are unlikely to be relevant if you have enough memory, and aren't running a different mix of apps whilst using firefox as when using Chrome. If it is memory footprint difference (i.e. you don't have enough RAM to run Firefox without paging) better memory management will help but it won't make a significant difference. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
