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.

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
