Rumour has it that Electrolysis isn't going to be fully enabled in 4.0 - from what I have read full tab process isolation isn't come until Firefox 5.0 :(

Why are they deliberately catrasting Firefox? it would have been the one big feature that would have relly pulled it ahead of Safari for me but since they've scrapped full Electrolysis, the release is rather crappy IMHO.

That makes it seem like Mozilla are now rushing to get firefox 4.0 released, there's no need to rush IMO... they should really keep at it and so what if they miss the deadline for release, we can wait that little bit longer.

so we would had that same as Firefox 3.6.6 (OOPP)

i thought they would had moved to the next step by now :/

so what we well have then for FF4

New UI + D2D/DW + revamped JS engine + new addon manager

and that if D2D ever make it or it could easily drag to Firefox 4.5

Count yourself lucky that you get Direct2D/DirectWrite, Mac users get absolutely nothing. Once again us Mac users are treated like the b-astard red-headed step child of the family whom the Mozilla developers love to hate.

Its been how long since Firefox 1.0 has shipped and it still runs like crap on Mac OS X. Why don't they just give up because it is clear to me that Mozilla developers are scum who don't give a crap about any other platform but Windows.

Which is surprising as most of them seem to be using Macs as their primary computers.

Then explain why it runs so utterly crap on Mac OS X - if the above were true then wouldn't it stand to reason that it should run well on Mac OS X?

D2D/DirectWrite are Microsoft Windows only API's, how do you expect Mozilla to implement those in a browser on an OS that doesn't have the API's?

Not Mozilla's problem...

OS X is the only platform getting out of process hardware accelerated composited plugins, It's definitely not being ignored like you continuously say.

Electrolysis is mainly for mobile Firefox at the moment, after it's working on that they'll work on having the desktop version have it.

Where did I state that I wanted Direct2D/DirectWrite? how about reading the post instead of coming to stupid conclusions. I used the issue of Direct2D/DirectWrite as an example of Mozilla putting alot of effort into their Windows version but nothing when it comes to Mac OS X.

Which is entirely useless for someone like me expecting (after the Firefox programmers promised) that'll arrive in Firefox 4.0. By the time full electrolysis does arrive Webkit2 will be stabilised and shipping - thus making it totally useless to my needs. Firefox had a window of opportunity for me and because of their pathetic incompetence that window is closing fast.

Or they could make the browser stable so you don't need tab islolation, it's not a very useful feature really. and it makes the task manager horribly messy. isolating plugins, yes, isolation every tab, no.

I think they're aiming for a tab per domain (so 4 neowin tabs = 1 neowin process), And they're also aiming to run Jetpacks (newer HTML+CSS+JS based extensions) out of process.

But there are more important issues for the desktop release (being able to push every tab but the active one out of memory doesn't mean much on a PC, but it means a whole bunch on an Android phone, etc.)

I thought jetpack was discontinued?

    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.
