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.

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?

    • 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
