The most recent nightly builds of Firefox 9 integrate type interference and are significantly faster in JavaScript benchmarks than the current stable Firefox versions. David Mandelin, in charge of the JavaScript engine at Mozilla, wrote in a blog post that Firefox gains about 44 percent speed in Kraken and about 30 percent in Google's V8 benchmark, thanks to the addition of type inference. The Firefox 9 nightly build can be downloaded here. Mozilla has also been working on a new JIT called IonMonkey, which will replace the current JaegerMonkey in a future version of Firefox.
