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?

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.
