Sadly, Firefox crashes every couple of minutes since the last update. Another reason for using Safari is it’s JavaScript performance:

uery, YUI and Dojo JS selector performance

The results show the final time in ms for the tests on http://www.domassistant.com/slickspeed/.

I’ve also done the same test on my Linux notebook (which is of course a bit slower than the 64bit Windows XP workstation) with Opera, Epiphany and Firefox:

JavaScript performance of Firefox, Opera and Epiphany

Still, the Webkit engine is the fastest! So go and try for yourself.
