Have you tried running the benchmarks against a profile with no extensions? It's been my experience that extensions slow FF down, so I've grown into the habit of creating alternative profiles to house different suites of useful extensions that I don't use regularly. Not sure if that would impact the javascript speed test though. -- John D.
