Oh ****. Multi-process tabs are P2? Really? Who the hell is in-charge of deciding the priorities? It's ridiculous.

Surprised by this as well. I remember reading that more than a year ago seeing they were in P1 and hoped electrolysis would make it into Firefox 4. Guess that didn't pan out well.

The main advantage is that they can access more than 4GB of RAM, but considering people complain when it uses over 100MB, I doubt that's useful for most people.

There are other advantages like more registers and a different calling convention, but that's really for developers to worry about.

Has anyone seen the latest development schedule? I'm a little confused by it. It says that Firefox 6's development cycle starts when Firefox 5 is cloned from mozilla-central to mozilla-aurora (on 2011-04-12).

Firefox 5

Firefox 5 will be slightly different from future releases due to the development overlap (or lack thereof) with Firefox 4:

Rather than 6 weeks for mozilla-central, mozilla-aurora, and mozilla-beta we instead have 3 weeks for development on mozilla-central, 5 weeks to converge and stabilize on mozilla-aurora, and 5 weeks to validate on mozilla-beta.

Can anyone clarify what is happening with Firefox 5?

Well I hope FF 5 is better than 4. I wont be using 4. Its got an annoying feature, on the MS forums. Every time I posted a reply on it, it kept on asking me whether I wanted to stay (dont post what I had just replied to). Or leave. If I replied and I wanted to save it (well obviously I did, otherwise I wouldnt reply).

It was the only annoying browser that did this for some reason. I couldnt find a way of killing this annoying option (if its an option), so removed it

They missed out this.

PRIORITY!

1. Address memory usage for Firefox mobile

2. Address battery drain for Firefox mobile

3. Address crashing and freezing on Firefox mobile

Fix these and I shall be a happy bunny :)

Those are nice, better than the generic blue globe bomb.

That's the site doing it, or some extension you have.

Why don't you provide something more specific than "on the MS forums"?

PaulAuckNZ, that's not a browser feature, that's a website feature - and it sounds like it's broken due to some bad browser detection. The dialog sounds like "are you sure you want to navigate away from the page" style, no? Is it so hard to provide a URL? I'm guessing you refer to http://answers.microsoft.com/

I like the concept there - a true 'nightly'.

I keep telling ppl on forums and blogs where they blame firefox for the bad fonts that it is a problem with the Microsoft's DirectWrite API and they have to fix it.Unfortunately most of the users think that it is Firefox bug as it is a new feature in the new version.People don't realize that Firefox is using Microsoft API for HA and it is the API's fault.That is the current situation as far as i know.Anyone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

    • LosslessCut 3.69 by Razvan Serea LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. Features Lossless cutting of most video and audio formats Losslessly cut out parts of video/audio (for cutting away commercials etc.) Losslessly rearrange the order of video/audio segments Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera) Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file) Losslessly extract all tracks from a file (extract video, audio, subtitle, attachments and other tracks from one file into separate files) Batch view for fast multi-file workflow Remux into any compatible output format Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG/PNG format Manual input of cutpoint times Apply a per-file timecode offset (and auto load timecode from file) Change rotation/orientation metadata in videos View technical data about all streams Timeline zoom and frame/keyframe jumping for accurate cutting around keyframes Saves per project cut segments to project file View FFmpeg last command log so you can modify and re-run recent commands on the command line Undo/redo Give labels to cut segments View segment details, export/import cut segments as CSV Import segments from: MP4/MKV chapters, Text file, YouTube, CSV, CUE, XML (DaVinci, Final Cut Pro) Video thumbnails and audio waveform Edit file metadata and per-stream metadata Edit per-stream disposition Cut with chapter marks Annotate segments with tags View subtitles Example lossless use cases Cut out commercials from a recorded TV show (and re-format from TS to MP4) Remove audio tracks from a file Extract music track from a video and cut it to your needs Add music to a video (or replace existing audio track) Combine audio and video tracks from separate recordings Include an external subtitle into a video Quickly change a H264/H265 MKV video to MOV or MP4 for playback on iPhone Import a list of cut times from other tool as a EDL (edit decision list, CSV) and run these cuts with LosslessCut Export a list of cut times as a CSV EDL and process these in another tool Quickly cut a file by its MP4/MKV chapters Quickly cut a YouTube video by its chapters (or music times from a comment) Change the language of a file's audio/subtitle tracks Attach cover art to videos Change author, title, GPS position, recording time of a video Fix rotation of a video that has the wrong orientation flag set Great for rotating phone videos that come out the wrong way without actually re-encoding the video.

    • Doesn't even need a UI for point 2 - use some sort of JSON/XML container - because MOST users won't even bother.
    • Legit concern or publicity stunt considering this is the first time I'm hearing the name?
