Hi guys,

I've been working with JQuery earlier and I realized that slideDown() / slideUp() functions are rendered pretty slow in Firefox. I mean, there's a visible difference between Firefox and Chrome and I don't understand why? The time is set to 500 miliseconds, so it should go fast (well it does, but not in Firefox).

Did anyone else has this issue before? Please give me a hint on how to solve this problem if you did. Thanks

Moved to jQuery.

Short answer: different Javascript engines

What version are you running? jQuery 1.8 has improved animation code, as can be seen here.

Also, some Firefox versions (11-14 I think?) have memory issues, which would cause any Javascript to potentially run slower than it would on other browsers that don't have those memory issues.

Solved. Apparently it was my bad programming the one who caused the Firefox latency. After a little clean up I managed to improve the way it's rendered in Firefox. I updated my Firefox and JQuery versions, but it still seems to work a little slower comparing to Chrome. Anyway, thanks guys .
