Kaoxt Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Does anyone know off hand, if private browsing will run separate from regular browsing, like Google Chrome? Glad to hear D2D just landed by default! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted August 14, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2010 I assume it will eventually, but at the moment it's a global thing. Edit: As a side effect of enabling D2D by default, DirectWrite will now always be used if you've got a DX10 GPU. Which is nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogas04 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Get ready to see about 50~100ms (depending on system) boost in SunSpider tests with today's nightly! (If curious , check the hourlies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Wagyu Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 for all those that want to be able to read inactive tabs, use this stylish script code snip Thanks, got that in userchrome.css now and it does the trick! Using .0 instead of .3 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted August 14, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2010 -moz-element support landed in tonight's nightly, it allows you to use another element in the document as an image source (e.g. a slide show presentation can show real time updating thumbnails of the slides) It's mainly going to be used in the OS X theme for rendering Persona's, but web content can also use it (WebKit has supported something similar for a few years now, but much more limited) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted August 14, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2010 <img id="img" src="blah.png" width="128" height="128"> <div style="width: 128px; height: 128px; background-image: -moz-element(#img);"> </div> Simple (and stupid) example, but that's basically how you use it (it updates at the same time as the source element draws, so <video> and <canvas> is still fast, etc.) Edit: That + SVG Filters is what the OS X theme will use, a filter to darken the persona image behind the tab bar, and possibly a Aero Glass like blur for behind the toolbar buttons.

(If curious , check the hourlies) sweet, there wasn't much improvement in beta3, was hoping firefox would close the large gap with the other browser vendors. Will benchmark beta 4:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool, thanks for the info. Seems really useful because it uses a live preview of that element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted August 14, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2010 It is pretty cool, it can really slow down the browser though if you do it incorrectly (Like pointing it at the <html> element as the source, it uses 100% of the CPU core then) Also, D2D bounced (i.e. it landed, but was backed out), so it's disabled by default again (but not in the current nightly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted August 14, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2010 I tried a nightly out with the same result, but anyone know why Firefox and Flash don't seem to be getting on in the Beta 3? And when clicking the fast reply box does it not work till you click a second time for anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViZioN Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 And when clicking the fast reply box does it not work till you click a second time for anyone else? Yeah I'm having the exact same issue with beta 3. Infact I think it happened with all the 4.0 betas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when clicking the fast reply box does it not work till you click a second time for anyone else? I have issues with flash too, when I play a video and scroll up or down, I can't acces the seekbar and other buttons until I scroll to the initial position (all betas).

ViperAFK Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Directwrite is still significantly delaying startup of firefox even in the latest nightly (I open firefox and everything in the window is white for like 30 secs and its unresponsive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
