Calum: I had a few issues with 3.5 and switched back to Opera for a while, but I have to say that 3.6 is pretty stable for me and facebook works better than it ever did in any other browser :)

Thank you very much for the reply :happy: I've installed it and it hasn't crashed on me yet; it's also much faster for me.

I have a problem though. Bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar are not showing for me and I can't seem to pin-point it to a problem with any extensions. Does anybody else have the same problem? The toolbar will show, but not the bookmarks on the bar.

How does dumping everything into slower virtual memory optimize anything? A web page with a lot of images takes more than 5 MB let alone the browser itself with nothing open. You want to use as much RAM as possible, that's what it's there for.

Updated and one improvement for me is when I go to Revision 3 and start watching a streaming video, no longer does Firefox go wobbly for 20 seconds. It would loose its cursor and lock up. Now, straight in - no problems. Happy bunny even if it isn't the proper RC1.

Decided to try the RC to see if it solves the problem I started to have with 3.5.7, and unfortunately it didn't. But it did solve the bookmarks toolbar items problem (where for some reason it disappeared, if you moved it to the navigation toolbar next to the address bar), that god knows how long I had (can't remember since which build it started).

And except that, didn't really noticed any improvements. Still fast as it was before.

I've just installed RC1 Candidate and have noticed an increase in speed, so whatever they've done is definitely an improvement (Y) .

This is a Nightly Release not an Official RC1.

Not quite. It's in the nightly folders, but it's not a nightly - it's just not a finalized RC1.

It is now available at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...eleases/3.6rc1/ too - appears to be identical to build1.

I switch of between Chrome and Firefox... and btw, get Firefox Ultimate Optimizer... just google it. Keeps firefox under 5 MB of RAM, Always, no matter what amount of tabs or addons you have.

Yes, RAM Optimizers and RAM Defragmenters work also. :no:

Does anyone have an issue with the tab panes not showing anymore? In one of the first beta, they showed up... ever since I've formatted, with what appears to be the newer version; no dice?

If it works, why sad face?

Sarcasm, I believe...

Tabs will randomly vanish and reappear (I've had the entire tab list vanish and it revert back to the standard window thumbnail)

Personally, it annoys the hell out of me since it removed the ability to just focus the app, I have to click the button then click a tab (changing the active tab in the process), dragging a file onto the taskbar icon isn't much better.

Oh, I never encountered that problem personally. I use TabMix plus, so if that did happen I could just close and re-open and have all my tabs back?

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Book, within a VM.

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
