updates Meet the browser: Firefox Next

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Firefox does support MJPEG (that is, consecutive JPEG images sent via multipart/x-mixed-replace), but there's an issue where when the second frame starts being received, it replaces the entirety of the last frame (so the frame vanishes and slowly displays the new one). Bug 625012 deals with fixing the issue.

So they really can make firefox uglier if they try.

That's more down to Metro than anything else :laugh:

Maybe. But I dislike the whole astralis look, though. The tabs are what I thought was as ugly as can be... until now.

And exactely not what final version would look like.

Isn't the screenshot a mockup? I mean, it's photoshoped, not a screenshot of the current UI.

More support of contenteditable and much more snappiness, nothing more interesting..

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

As usual, the main things stopping it from being enabled are web compatibility issues, some web pages expect plugins to be enabled and run instantly, and assume they aren't installed if that's the case.

I think the Silverlight loader has that behavior, which doesn't really surprise me (In the past they relied on a race condition being present in previous versions of Firefox, so when it got fixed Silverlight across the web broke)

It's been a while since I last used or looked at the progress of Firefox, does it have proper OSX Full Screen support yet? and did they ever move the tabs into the title bar on OSX like their mock ups or is it generally the same?

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

The nightly builds have Lion full screen support, tabs aren't in the titlebar yet due to technical reasons (Firefox renders the UI via OpenGL, so it complicates it a bit)

It kinda sounds like that opinion is formed solely from the video? I would suggest at least trying it first.

[Mayhem]

sadly it wipes the downloads info when you exit (or start) firefox with if you have Download status bar for ex the list goes bye bye

his there a option to keep the info ?

14.0a1 (2012-04-18) Nightly

Really liking this atm, initially had a massive memory leak 2GB> at times, but seem to have cured it with a combination of these

RAM use fluctuates between 55MB and 500MB as the addons recover the ram (EDIT - just seen a 12MB use after recovery :D )

Downloads bar seems ok, no grumbles :)
