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?

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
