the thing is it will break add-ons quicker... hope they have a new system for that that allows the older ones to work easier....

Addons rarely actually 'break' its usually just the version number that needs changing. Disable addon compatibility checking and never worry about it again :)

Mozilla Firefox 5.0 - Final

Blazing Performance:

? Making the Web Faster. Fasten your seat belts! With faster start-up times, rapid graphics rendering and improved page load speed, Firefox 4 is full of major performance enhancements you?ll notice instantly. Upgrades to DOM and Style Resolution performance mean pages load faster, scrolling up and down is smoother, and web applications can run at breakneck speed. It?s an entirely new ? and fast ? browsing experience.

? Web Application Speed. Web applications like mail, video or games keep getting more awesome, but they also require additional processing power to run smoothly. To meet these increasingly sophisticated demands, Firefox 4 features a massively improved javascript engine called J?gerMonkey. As a result, Firefox 4 handles even the most dynamic applications smoothly and easily, allowing you to enjoy the very best the modern Web has to offer.

? Hardware Acceleration. Whether you?re using Windows 7, Vista, XP or Mac OS X with Firefox 4, you?ll also enjoy hardware acceleration for many common operations, such as watching videos or playing games. Firefox 4 uses a new layers-based graphics system that takes advantage of Direct2D and Direct3D on Windows and OpenGL on Mac to deliver amazing performance even on graphics-heavy sites.

Weren't these boasting spec suppose to be about Firefox 5? Why keep on boasting about the previous build? Well, I am in awe about Firefox 4. I am sold!

More like: and never get extension updates again.

That jumping aero border glitch fixed in 5.0?

No, but I've found that if you make the nav-bar transparent somehow (apply a theme, CSS, or disable tabs-on-top), the problem goes away.

whoa 5.0 already?

I only just got 4.0 the way I wanted it!

you should be fine updating then

most of the changes were just back end performance improvements, so nothing really "visually" different

Right now 64bit really isn't any faster than the 32 bit builds. I don't see the point in trying to get all of your plugins updated to 64 bit versions to get a 64 bit browser right now.

let's see... java 64bit is available, there's a flash 10.2 build available (maybe newer), and I think silverlight is ready as well?

Current FF5 stats:

post-361542-0-37465200-1308428513.jpg

25 tabs loaded. duration--->7 hours

150 browser actions... watched 15 youtube HTML5 vids

went to google maps streetview a lot and other more intense sites.

150-225MB lower usage then 4.0..... for now....

the memory leak problem since 4.x is still in 5.0, i load 30 tabs and its around 550mb and leave the pc for several hours and its up to 1.7gb of ram used. Hope this is fixed in firefox 6.

you shouldn't have a leak like that

i'm guessing it's either one of your extensions or something is wrong with your profile that's causing it

meh the realplayer downloader still doesn't work with this. I might try re-installing it....

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
