"After we ran the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark on Firefox 3b5 last week, I got an e-mail from Mike Schroepfer from Mozilla:

A few folks noticed your article on Firefox 3 Beta 5. Your numbers don’t seem to match tests I’ve run—by chance did you have Firebug (or any other extensions) installed? Firebug instruments many parts of the browser and thus will impact perf results. Either use a clean profile or disable all extensions from the addons manager to get pure results."
