You want a browser that does not crash but you are on the beta channel? LOL

 

Granted when I used to be on the Firefox beta channel it was rock solid but Firefox in general has been rock solid since stopped installing Flash a year ago.

I got on The Beta as the stable 47.0.1 was worse. This one is good. I have flash set to ask to activate and I do not have Java installed.

Well that is the thing with beta channels... The next one may not be so good.

The next one will be RC1 so it should be better.

Oh, I didn't know Firefox is discontinuing future development so there will be no more beta releases. That sucks... /s

No kidding but there is always another beta release when on the beta channel which in this case would be the first beta for version 49.

Do you guys see quite often the white spinning loading page while changing between tabs with e10s? Using the 48 version, the stable one.

If you use any extensions try temporarily disabling them all and see if that makes any difference. Some addons use compatibility shims with e10s which can significantly impact performance (even potentially making it worse than without e10s). You can also go to about:performance for addon performance statistics

I'll try that thanks ;)

 

EDIT: After a few tests I think it was the Ghostery addon.

Yeah that sounds like the cuplrit, according to http://arewee10syet.com/ ghostery has pretty high CPOW (compatibility shim) usage

Because Australis UI (to me personally) gives yuck feel. :-)

thats why you have Addons etc , if you want the Classic look back, there is an Addon for that, but why do you care? you do use Chrome/Chromium afaik , but get used to it, there not gonna change it.  as long as it works on websites i visit thats all i care about really. , but no ones stopping you from Forking the Browser an doing your own thing . or use Pale Moon . does Pale Moon use Australis? no idea

Imo the Australis UI is very beautiful. Way more beautiful compared to the one Firefox had before as well as Chrome's one. Out of all the browsers actually(Opera, Edge etc), I find Australis the most beautiful. I love not only the curved tabs but the toolbar as well. The only thing I don't like is the addons page - something feels out of place. I don't know if it's the sidebar inside the addons page or something else. Oh well, who cares though about the addons page? :p

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
