How the hell do I switch update channels? I installed the FF7 beta and now it's trying to get me to update to 8.0, but I want to just go to 7.0.1. Changing app.update.channel to release did nothing, it still says I'm on the beta channel.

Alereon posted:The upside is that this reduces memory leaked during their tests by 80%, the downside is that buggy code that would have previously caused a leak may now throw an exception, which could break some things. They have about 18 weeks until this hits the release channel though (6 each in Nightly, Aurora, Beta), which should be enough time for add-on authors to find and fix breakage.

aunaturale posted:So I know that not all websites honor the "Do not track" header but with Firefox having the option checked seems to do nothing. My ads are just as targeted as when it's turned off; other browsers seem to essentially eliminate it. The second is that none of Google's advertising systems honor the DNT header and won't until later this year. Plenty of other places don't honor it, too.

And not really relevant to this thread, but what's the good alternative to Thunderbird? I'm not surprised at all that they're more or less dropping it since they've never seemed to be working on it as much as they did on Firefox.

jeeves posted:Unrelated: Ex-Mozilla employee claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process. Also that Neowin article is poo poo since it calls him a Firefox dev and doesn't give any evidence for him being one. A Mozilla employee, sure, but not a Firefox dev. He seems to be a UI designer/developer from what I can find.

x64 builds also double the size of pointers, which means many objects are now larger, which means worse memory usage and more memory fragmentation issues.

Toast Museum posted:You mind explaining that a bit? I suppose they would be equal if you only had any taskbar/dock on the sides of your screen instead of bottom but nobody does that. Tabs on top means my tabs are currently 135 pixels wide and infinite pixels tall (starting 25 pixels from top of screen). Tabs on bottom means they would be 25 pixels tall, since I can no longer just flick my cursor to the corner of the screen.

And if they manage to get the compacting GC into Firefox 18 (Jan 2013) like they're planning, then long-term performance should get much better. Right now my desktop's FF with only about:memory open has 110% overhead on the JS heap, wasting 117MB of memory. A compacting GC means that fragmentation (causing memory to be held on to forever) will no longer be an issue. As far as I know, memory fragmentation is the main reason FF slows down the longer it's open and being used.

fookolt posted:I've used Waterfox for over a year, but I never really found a benefit with it. I know it's faster in benchmarks, but I never really found a difference in performance even with Firefox using over 1500MB of RAM. Their BrowserMark score is ~10% higher than FF; the version of BrowserMark they used is unspecified but seems to no longer exist There is no such thing as the "Fishbowl" benchmark Firefox wins the V8 benchmark by ~13% Waterfox is 0.5% slower than FF at SunSpider You aren't seeing any benefit with WF because there isn't any. It's maybe faster at a certain synthetic benchmark, but its JavaScript performance is at best equal to FF. It has the pretty big downside of not receiving security patches. The current version of WaterFox is 16.0.1, which is missing the 16.0.2 critical security patch. Plus any more recent security fixes.

Keyboard Kid posted:If I don't view a tab for a while, and I'm guessing this is just tabs that don't have any active/updating content, it will automatically refresh when I go to that tab again. It unloads whatever was in that tab (so I can't see what was there before), which is my biggest issue with it. That's identical to how Firefox restores a session, though. Maybe an extension is unloading them?

Fangs404 posted:I'm on the stable channel, so this is the fist time I've seen the JS PDF reader in action. It seems to work amazingly well. I'm really impressed. I still like it, though; I just use Chrome's PDF reader in those cases. I recommend installing the dev version (scroll down) of pdf.js instead of the normal one. It's updated constantly, while the normal version is a couple months old. I've never had the dev version do anything weird. Man this new download window in FF20 is weird.

I don't think it's a specific website because I can usually just re-open Firefox and navigate back to where I was. I tried installing the developer version and it's not fixed. Is there another good extension that will do the same thing? I've been seeing the same thing, though I didn't figure out what was causing it. Guess I'm disabling HTTPS-E for now.

An AMD driver update somehow opened an ancient beta version of Firefox on my machine instead of the current version of Firefox. Which means an ancient beta version poked at my profile. Now text rendering is sometimes hosed up in weird ways. Is there any way of fixing this short of resetting Firefox and reinstalling all my addons? edit for an example Popup text immediately after being displayed:  Popup text shortly afterward:  edit: Restarted Firefox for the third time since this happened and now text is normal. The first restart fixed Australis, the second fixed nothing, the third fixed text. Hopefully the fourth doesn't break anything.
