  Javascript Speed Differences: Firefox vs. Chrome, IE

  Feb 03, 2016 10:07 PM|Robert W.|LINK

  I've built an extensive Exact Search & Fuzzy Search engine entirely in Javascript/jQuery.  When used on larger data sets, there's a noticeable lag time when used in Firefox.  Yet when used with Chrome and Internet Explorer, the results are displayed almost instantly.

  I have two questions:

  1. Does anyone know of a list of Javascript or jQuery functions that are especially slow in Firefox?
  2. Is there some sort of a client-side profiler available for Firefox?  Note: Unless I'm not aware of something, Firebug isn't sufficient to help me spot particularly slow functions.

  Sincerely,
  Robert W.

  My apologies, I just discovered the Profiler in FireBug.  It appears to be precisely what I was looking for!

  Though if anyone still has a list of Javascript or jQuery functions that are known to be quite slow in Firefox, I'd appreciate hearing about them!

  Hi Robert,

  Robert W.

  Does anyone know of a list of Javascript or jQuery functions that are especially slow in Firefox?

  Do you mean that your JavaScript or jQuery codes are running slowly in Firefox, but it is fine in Chrome and IE? If that the case, you could try to ask for help on Firefox help forum.
