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?

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
