12fps on my work desktop which is a HP Compaq DX2000 PC (E4500 2.2GHz with 1GB RAM and an Intel 946GZ integrated GPU)

I expect my home PC will max out the 60fps cap...

On my co-worker's Win 7 machine, the same test runs on IE9 at 60+ fps. I think they really botched something this this release. Let's just hope that more frequent updates means this will be fixed soon, otherwise it's pretty horrible to watch even non-hardware accelerated browsers like Safari and Chrome kick it's butt.

60+fps here too on i5 430m 2.27-2.53GHz,Mobility Radeon 5650 1GB.Maybe your HA is not turned on?Type about:support on the last table you need to have direct2D:true,directwrite:true and the last one must be 1/1 Direct3D 9/10.On my old HP i have ticked the use HA when available, but it doesn't use it because drivers are old(it sais it need 10.6 ATI drivers or newer).

Co-worker's GPU is a AMD Mobility Radeon HD5470 with 1GB of memory. Direct2D is disabled, so is DirectWrite and GPU acceleration is 0/1. I just told him to upgrade his graphics drivers.

On my Mac I get this...

Direct2D Enabled: false

DirectWrite Enabled: false

WebGL Renderer: NVIDIA Corporation -- NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M OpenGL Engine -- 2.1 NVIDIA-1.6.26

GPU Accelerated Windows: 1/1 OpenGL

I'll report back on if upgrading the Windows 7 machine's drivers make a difference. As for my Mac, I haven't upgraded to 10.6.7 yet but I don't think it has any GPU driver upgrades for me anyway. I think it's just a sloppy implementation for Macs then.

Still doesn't explain why IE9 was able to run it at full speed on his computer though.

Firefox likely has a different range of blacklisted drivers.

It may take a while before people start thinking about how they need to update their gfx drivers for browsers - it's pretty much always been the domain of gamers. Now everyone should be paying attention.

Is double clicking for new tab taken away?

I tried disabling putting the tab on top and it still maxi/minimize the screen. I even installed tab mix plus and it didn't help. Is it built this way or is there a way to make double clicking open new tab. Note: I do know that middle click can open new tab.

It behaves this way because the tab bar is now in the aero window border, this is the proper behavior for double clicking part of the aero border.

OK, I think -moz-appearance affects this but I don't know what that element on the left-side is called. Can anyone tell me? Trial-and-erroring my way through the list is too much hassle with having to keep relaunching the browser to see what happens. I have the add-on bar behaving exactly how I want now. Just need it to look right.

This is pretty close to what I'm looking for. But how can I make it look like the new-style status bar. For consistency I'd like them both to match.

I know this has probably been discussed before, but the only thing I'm not super happy with in Firefox is the add-on bar. It takes a lot of space, and I can't disable it because I need some of the add-ons functionality like the Alexa ratings. Is there an add-on to make it just a button in the bottom right corner that would expand on mouse hover, or something similar?

Thanks.

Try this:

Put this code inside your userChrome.css - only works when tabs on titlebar is off (maximized or normal mode) - by foxxyn8:

#navigator-toolbox > #TabsToolbar {
	-moz-binding: url("chrome://global/content/bindings/toolbar.xml#toolbar") !important;
}

Anyone else getting this problem? You need at least 2 tabs open, and hover over any link on a page that will show the URL bar at the bottom. It shifts the colour in the left/right borders downwards when the URL bar opens. It's quite distracting when that happens.

Confirmed this still happens on a new profile with no addons added or settings changed.

EDIT: added an animated gif at this -> link <- to better elaborate the problem.

Try this:

#navigator-toolbox:not([customizing]) ~ #browser-bottombox {

  	padding-right: 5px !important;
}
#FindToolbar .find-status-icon[status="notfound"], #FindToolbar .find-status-icon[status="wrapped"] {
 	 margin-left: -1px !important;
}
#FindToolbar .find-status-icon:not([status="notfound"]):not([status="wrapped"]) + .findbar-find-status {
 	 display: none !important;
}

I tried this, addon bar just disappears for good :/

Nope. No theme at all. It could be Aero kicking in.

I guess I just need to know what the default colours are for that status bar-type popup.

All I have in my userchrome.css is this:

#appmenu-button 
{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(25,143,224,.7), rgba(22,80,129,.7)) !important;
}

#addon-bar {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: -12px;
  right: 1px;
  border: 0 !important;
  opacity: 0;
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  -moz-border-radius: 4px 0 0 0 !important;
  -moz-transition: bottom .2s 1s ease-in, opacity .2s 1s ease-in;
  padding-top: 1px !important;
}

#addon-bar:hover {
  bottom: 1px;
  opacity: 1;
  -moz-transition: bottom .2s ease-out, opacity .2s ease-in;
}

That makes mine appear transparent as well. Apart from that it works good (Y)

Can you tell me if you find out what's making yours transparent? Thanks

How do I move the Firerfox findbar to just under the tabs when I open it instead of opening at the bottom of the browser window?

you can try one of these

Looks normal to me. Not fuzzy at all.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
    • 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.
