I believe they are back in the Nightly builds as well.

well yeah, that just makes since that if it's in the Aurora builds logically it'd be in the nightly builds as well

cool, and they got the tab animations working in a way that you can still interact with the taskbar when dragging a tab :)

Might be late but I am kinda liking where this thing is going , will kill IM in a way i guess...

Okay people might call me crazy but I am seeing that Mozilla is implementing things much more efficiently than any other browser vendor at present , like see how they are developing a metro app so well , and this Social API thingy ,and the PDF viewer is just too amazing, and the IonMonkey landing was so smooth, didn't break anything vigorously ! It's just that Mozilla doesn't complete everything in time (or ever) ...

I just updated to Aurora after hearing that they finally added tab animations. It seems to work great, but there are unfortunately still glitches with the two best extensions, TabGroups Manager and TabMixPlus. When the developers fix the small bugs with their extensions, Firefox will be hands down my favorite web browser!! The way I have it customized is almost perfect! I just need an update to TabGroups Manager mostly. It works, but if you try to drag the tabs to another group it gets all messed up. Does anyone how to fix that? I can't be the only using TabGroups Manager. For now, I'm just going to use TabGroup Switcher and Panorama.

Just updated from FF 15.01 or whatever the current release was, to FF16b4.. I didn't realise how buggy my browsing had become until now, FF16b4 is smooooooth compared

I don't see much of a difference. It feels the same, actually.

If you mean This index page then it works fine for me with latest nightly.Addon issue maybe?

I'm using FF16b4 and yep that page kills FF for a good 20 seconds+ and a not responding message, mouse pointer turns to loading circle, all the normal hanging traits

Yea must be an addon, safe mode loads pretty quick, I hate when this happens it takes ages going through them all, is there nothing like Event Log for FF that will show loading times for addons ?

EDIT - Adblock and Ghostery both cause it to hang loading, and whitelisting the site doesn't make any difference the addons have to be completely disabled for it to load normally

Any word on when they will fix the HiDPI/retina support for the mac version nightlies? It's been there for quite some time now, eager to go back to FF for some time and see how fast ion monkey is, but it's too blurry without HiDPI.

That is weird.I have both Ghostery and dev adblock enabled too and see no such hang issues on the site.Maybe there is something wrong with your profile and its time for a new profile?

Nope, completely uninstalled, deleted all profile and appdata etc folder, reinstalled, same problem

The patches have passed review, but it's always possible more issues could be found that hold it back (like Display List based invalidation, it passed review, passed tests, and proceeded to break random things for users when it landed)

Yeah, based on today's posts to that bug report, it should land in the next few builds.

Did facebook do something or Nightly has gone a lot faster at dealing with messages etc in facebook ?

Even scrolling etc has improved , I mean it feels fast! (Any big thing happened after IonMonkey?)

Many things happened... but I switched to Opera..

But still I will tell you what happened.

Thebes Layer related bug fixed which was holding back azure content acceleration, slow path for gdi fallback fixed, Input slowdown one bug regression from FF16 also fixed.

Now recently DLBI also landed and Stub Installed not to mention HiDPI support for Mac OS X.

HiDPI should land in tomorrow's build, but it still probably won't run smoothly as there still seems to be some plugin scaling issues. Will give it a try when the update get pushed. I have a feeling I will be back to using chrome by the end of the day if plugin support is too messy.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
