updates Meet the browser: Firefox Next

[BetaAddict]

Many things happened... but I switched to Opera..

But still I will tell you what happened.

Thebes Layer related bug fixed which was holding back azure content acceleration, slow path for gdi fallback fixed, Input slowdown one bug regression from FF16 also fixed.

Now recently DLBI also landed and Stub Installed not to mention HiDPI support for Mac OS X.

HiDPI should land in tomorrow's build, but it still probably won't run smoothly as there still seems to be some plugin scaling issues. Will give it a try when the update get pushed. I have a feeling I will be back to using chrome by the end of the day if plugin support is too messy.

those tabs made me dry reach, i am glad they aren't taking the ability to change them via themes out otherwise IMO they would lose a lot of long time users myself included

The 16b5 is running MUCH FASTER than any browser I have installed. The difference from the previous version is gaudy!

Yeah, I've switched back to firefox on my desktop computer, much more responsive now. Still fairly laggy UI at times on my laptop though.

No such issues here with the latest nightly ...

They only show up for me when I mouse over the app button. Otherwise, everything is fine once the window is maximized/restored.

Are you running Catalyst 12.9 beta? If so uninstall it and install 12.8 release. Fixed it for me.

No, i was using version 12.6 and now i'm updating to v12.8. Anyway those glitches disappeared with yesterday's nightly but new ones appeared (bad rendering of text in chrome)

html5test scores for firefox 16 final and 17 beta 1:

html5test firefox 16: 363

html5test beta firefox 16: 372

html5test firefox 17: 388

html5test beta firefox 17: 392

So there's a 15 and a 2 point advantage with firefox 17 beta 1 over firefox 16. Nice to have so many html5 additions :)

Note this isn't the final release of 17 b1, its a release candidate.

Just got automatically updated to 17.0, any ideas to what's new? :)

[LAMj]

Just got an update to 16.0.1. I suppose it fixes the security flaw. That was quick...

Does the Nightly have Australis already?

Does the Nightly have Australis already?

that is a negative

[grayscale]

Thanks for the response.

Just now, I saw that Thunderbird already has Australis so I decided to check it out. It looks awful on Windows 8 right now so I'm willing to wait :p

The Windows 7 UI I tried before looks awesome though.

[Kirkburn]

Quick reminder, Australis is more than just the tabs, which is what I assume you are referring to. They're making Australis-type changes every few releases.
