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

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      They used AI based TOOLS to convert the JavaScript engine (the main rendering engine is still C++) and it was not fully automated but was human reviewed. Other subsystems will be looked into to also be converted to Rust in the future. I have no problem with any of that.
