updates Meet the browser: Firefox Next

[bawz]

If that is the case, then the ofifical screenshot is a false. That buttons and layout in the official screenshot is from at least FF20+.

Mozilla are hopeless when it comes to updating sheenshots, perhaps someone should put a RFC in Bugzilla to update all screenshots on there pages of T'bird an Fx

Firefox dev fixed text rendering issue happening with AMD GPU users...

So it was either a D2D bug that only hit AMD users, or an issue in the AMD driver that was brought to the forefront by a D2D change.

And it only affected Firefox (apparently) due to how it tried batching draws while clipped (Y)

Hey guys, I've been wondering... the modern UI of Firefox doesn't work on my PC... It's really strange. It works on others' as well as my mum's, damn my mum's got a laptop with lame resolution. I don't know if it's the specs or something.

 

Resolution: 1680x1050

Core 2 Quad Q6600, 3GB RAM, GA-P45T-ES3G

 

 

How do you explain that? Latest UX build.

makes me laugh at the idiots on mozillazine that whinge over Australis, they act as though  they are paying for firefox? like hello its a FREE Product here. i wouldnt mind betting they'll continue to use Firefox even with Australis. there only other option is to go back using internet Explorer, i mean seriously who cares about what shape the Tabs are. i dont use anymore than 4 or 5 Extensions anyway so it dont bother me but i dont use firefox all that much anyway

Eh I can understand the gripes, the interface is one complaint (of many) that I have about Chrome, not a fan of Firefox doing something similar.  But hey, it's Firefox, so it can be adjusted.  There's already an extension in the works that lets you tweak Australis like crazy, can take it as far as getting the old look back if you wanted.  (Even lose the curved tabs if those bother you.)

It's not just the shape of the tabs people complain about. Mostly it's the removal of functionality we've been used to for the last decade or so.

 

And the fact that for a lot of people the web browser is their most used piece of software, why shouldn't they complain?

well as i said it is a FREE Product. its like me complaining about Linux in general, it'd be great if Redhat Made wifi drivers available when you installed there Distro but patents stop them so my complaining is useless. MP3 support out of the Box i'd like them to have that installed once i install a mp3 player, patents stop them allowing that. i could probably go on but i wont.  complaining is useless doing when a Browser is FREE to begin with. pay the Developers then they might listen. how many people that use firefox Pay to use it? i cant think of anyone, how many pay to contribute to making Extensions better? prolly not many. the only ones that pay Mozilla people are Google i would think.

So because it's free that means no one should voice their complaints or give feedback if it isn't positive? Forums and the like aren't meant for only positive discussion. I'm sorry to break that to you.

 

The "it's free so it's above criticism" thinking doesn't work for me. 

 

Anyways this isn't the thread for this sort of discussion so I'm done arguing the matter.

if the " Feedback " Mechinism " actually worked by giving Mozilla  criticsm over Australis im sure they would of been listening ages ago but from where im sitting it dont look like they give a stiff about what users are saying. at the end of the day, if you dont like the way Firefox is going, no one is forcing you to use Firefox are they? the only reason these complainers will stay with firefox an thats  because of the great Extensions it has.

As of the latest nightly, Firefox features a much more limited set of cipher suites to be used over TLS, dropping a lot of the uncommon methods that never caught on. There are still some issues with ordering (like plain RSA being placed before DHE RSA), but they've removed a lot of the non forward security suites.

There's still some old ones for compatibilty, 3DES and plain RC4 being ones they want to get rid of but currently need to keep, but it's a step in the right direction.

SOLUTION For AMD users facing font corruption...

Quoting Ver Greeneyes from mozillazine (hope he does not mind):

 

A heads-up for people affected by this bug (including me): the workaround/fix will be hidden behind a pref in today's or tomorrow's Nightly. To re-enable the fix, go to about:config and set layout.paint_rects_separately to true.

SOLUTION For AMD users facing font corruption...

Quoting Ver Greeneyes from mozillazine (hope he does not mind):

best solution is to get rid of AMD cards, the drivers are crap for sttarters. . just look at the Linux ATI drivers, a mess.  but if that solution works for AMD/ATI users that you posted should be helpful but the solution needs to be posted in more than just a forum(s) as the majority of firefox users wont look at forums
