Firefox 0.8


Recommended Posts

I thought I may as well give it a crack...I'd only breifly used Firebird before for testing purposes for web development. So I've always stuck with IE.

But holy sh!t batman, this is bloody unreal. I definitely noticed a huge speed difference. I can proudly say I have switched browers...well at work anyway. Definitely will switch at home as well.

I'll still have to crank up IE at work and home for dev. purposes.

Another person comes into the light :D :cool:

A simple question...

Is it possible to rearrange the order of the tabs? I.e.: drag one before/after another like in Visual Studio .NET?

I wish it was possible to also do this in Windows on the taskbar.

Yes... I do it all the time :yes:.. I'm 99% sure its standard, but if you cant do it by default, grab TBE
here's a screenshot of my task manager with the excessive use of cpu shown by firefox.exe..with only 2 tabs open. this reply tab and one in the msn messenger downtime threat

Damn, that is pretty big comapired to IE... but then again... when you're running a box with 512+MB of RAM and it kicks IE's @$$ so bad, who cares? :shifty: Also remember its still technically a beta. I remember Word Beta 2 in Office 2003 used like 60 megs of RAM after opening a few simple files

HERE's a great extension you might want to try. I love it. :)

lol...nobody else seems to be getting this problem..it starts out to be 0% cpu usage and then after a period of time, the heatsink starts whirring like crazy and my cpu's temp is up to 46C..up 10C! ..and the cpu usage just shoots up

After a few hours of heavy browsing things seem to be working well for me:

what is TBE? What does it do? Does it just give you more options? Where can i get it?

why is file/edit/view/go/bookmarks/etc. so big? There extra unused space and I just don't think it looks good. Why can't it be more how it is in internet explorer? if there no way to change it i think i might bring it to there attention.

    • I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.
    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
