updates Meet the browser: Firefox Next

[Semtex]

Yesterday I've updates for Nightly and Aurora as well, I've one day break for Aurora updates when 5 hit beta stage, but Mozilla inform about this break, so maybe You should download regular full installer for latest Nightly and make manual update ;)

So this new download manager isn't implemented into the nightly or aurora builds yet? Haven't used either build in a long while.

nope :) it "might" land in Firefox 7 or 8 nightlies.

Well, I think Nightly meant to be pre alpha developers variants testing for people, they should add features so that we can fill new bugs if find problems and they can fix them much rapidly. Also some fine tuning in Javascript in today`s update.

Looking Good!

What have they added to Aurora in the past few weeks since they've jumped to build 6? All change logs showed "None" for Aurora. I'm still finding it odd that we're getting daily updates for Aurora, even though there's nothing being updated :s

There are updates to Aurora - they're just not always reported.

Last seven days of Aurora updates: http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-aurora/pushloghtml?startdate=7+day+ago&enddate=now (and I don't believe that includes locale updates).

Communication is something they're working on. Daily updates are still automatic afaik, though I believe they do still plan to go to 'build only when necessary'. So far, it wouldn't change much.

IMO one awesome bug fixed:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592943

It made my firefox faster, pages draw and load much faster and startup also improved little bit.

One issue left (linux specific)..,...

Another font for GDI classic:

I think they're looking at making any font under a certain size render using GDI measuring, which will make some people happy but decrease quality (GDI sucks at all sizes, but it's especially noticeable at smaller sizes)

You can say it sucks all you want, but at small sizes the gdi style rendering is far more readable.

I do think DW rendering looks far better at larger sizes.

Is there a version of mozbackup or something similar that works with the nightlys?

[kilara1988]

I use version 1.4.10 for a long time now and it works with stable versions and nightly without problems so far.

To the 64bit nightly users, how's your experience? I'm still running the 32bit nightlies and thinking about using the 64bit if you aren't experiencing huge problems.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

They still aren't officially supported, but they fixed the largest issues. You'll still miss out on stuff like plugins though (and extensions that use binary components)

[grayscale]

I guess I'll just stick with the 32-bit then. Thanks :)

Bethesda (the video game company) forums show the difference between Chrome and Firefox on my netbook.

Chrome 12 seems to lagg massively whereas Firefox 7a seems 10-20 times smoother.

Surprising.

How is that surprising ?

That is the only site I know that is faster in FF.

It only lets me choose my firefox 4 profile, not nightly. Does it matter?
