Weird claim? I'm just reporting what works and doesn't with Firefox on my end.

 

My claim of Firefox doesn't handle web apps is pretty grounded. Since you just signed up for Jolidrive, go ahead and test its music player. There's a bug with the seeker and volume slider in Firefox. You can't manipulate them. Works fine in Chrome and IE10.

 

I also check the crashdump I had early on Jolidrive, apparently Firefox is cocking up with mp3 playback. Most music/radio sites have Flash fallback for handling mp3s (specifically for Firefox) but Jolidrive doesn't so it crashed for god knows what reason...

I can reproduce the mp3 seeking issue, but no crashes here. mp3 seeking not working on jolidrive hardly means "firefox can't handle web apps".

 

I'm done with this thread because the amount of hyperbole is givine me a headache.

Joe Drew left Mozilla, leaving several important bugs he was working unassigned... Hell..

an he prolly wont be the last either, with Mozilla making the browser " less Customizable " they dont need as many programers as they used to have.

i take it you have never used the UX Build of Mozilla Firefox?

Mozilla is shifting to JSON from SQLite for many stuff like today few addons related backend change, it will help Firefox in reducing main thread jank, startup hit and makes tab bar snappy.

From mozilla-inbound, which will later on merge with mozilla-central:

These are landed update, I can't say if one of them get backout later, as time of it, they sticked.

they need to speedup firefox in Linux. its slow as a Dog. Video is crap. a bit choppy ( Version 23 ) 

 

Nightly 26 should be a choice to test that whether such issues have been resolved in future release or not. Also if I remember correctly, they are working on making Firefox faster on Linux as well.

Umm.. yeah!! But try to see where issues lies..

Some people say that Beta Flash also fixed several issues..

im pretty sure the problem was in Pepper Flash, cause when i played Video in Firefox within Linux i never got Hissing/Crackling noises , an as i disabled pepper flash in Chrome ( linux Version ) an im using 11.2 now i no longer get those noises . but overall Firefox is slow inb linux. im not the only one to say that. there's a thread on the fedoraforums from ( glennzo ) who says the same thing. an i have disabled IPv6 within the browser an elsewhere ( systemd ) 

 

my gripe  about firefox currently its slow at loading webpages. compared to Chrome its fast ( i  no longer use Windows, so Linux only ) 

Disabling IPv6 won't make it faster, all it'll do is prevent you from loading IPv6 websites.

Edit: If you don't have a public IPv6 address it won't even attempt to do IPv6, it literally has no affect.

i disagree with you,  Disabling ipv6 has an effect on a Browsers Performance if you cant use ipv6 at all. so why have it enabled? 

Nope, no effect at all, zero, none.

If you don't have a public IPv6 address, the browser won't even bother trying to use IPv6, as in it won't even probe for an IPv6 address. Disabling it probably slows it down if anything (as it has to take a separate code path where it explicitly tells the OS not to use IPv6)

but if you Disable ipv6  from within systemd it tells the OS there is no ipv6 support. same within windows. you disable ipv6 within windows an the browser it will not try an use that feature. i wouldnt think there'd be a lot of sites that currently support ipv6 anyway as its still in its testing phase. 

Firefox Metro is scheduled to role out when Firefox 26 is released. Look decent so far. I wonder how the add-ons system will carry over if it will at all?

Sexy. Makes me want to buy Windows tablet. Is it installed separately, or included in standart Firefox installer? Can I launch desktop app by clicking tile?

    • 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.
