Incremental GC dependent bug getting little attention from developers. Also other patches paving way for it. Sweet!!

I do not care much about all of these projects, when they come they come. I care about performance and Firefox 11 is doing that for me at least.

32 bit or 64 bit? Please share your changeset and addon list as well.

For CSET: about:buildconfig (copy url fro their)

Also posting about:memory info will be great help.

There is no way to get a process to eat 8GB of RAM on a 32bits architecture :p At least for common users.

64 bit nightly. it has never done this before.

and it goes a little somethin like this!!

I got to accuweather.com and look at comments for a news article....

I look at the facebook comments and click "view more" and poof. it suddenly spikes and locks everything up! took 2 minutes for task manager to come up.

I would look at the firefox specifics but nightly won't even load

and it won't even up the profile manager using the command:


"C:\Program Files\Nightly10\firefox.exe" -p -no-remote
[/CODE]

I can't even open it at all.

its gonna be wiped and reinstalled in order to open and I will get to that later.

Tried making new profile on nightly

You better should file a bug and CC to Nicholas.

Actually I was in rush and was in find of 32-bit or 64-bit since for the first for at in my knowledge today's update CSET for 64-bit is different than 32-bit. So it will be helpful to find a regression window.

After installing Aurora 10a2, all my add-ons have been disabled, even though I have the compatibility reporter installed & enabled. Any reason why?

Yeah, happened to me too. To fix it I went into the add-ons section of Firefox and towards the top there is a banner that says something like 'some add-ons are not compatible with FF' click enable on that banner and then restart your browser. Should be fixed.

Add-on Compatibility Reporter wasn't updated to disable compatibility checking for Aurora 10.

For now, you have to go into about:config, add "extensions.checkCompatibility.10.0a", set it to false, and restart Aurora.

I use "extensions.checkCompatibility.nightly" for the Nightly builds, and I assume it should work by changing last part to "extensions.checkCompatibility.aurora" or whatever other channel you are using. Eliminates the need to manually add a new setting in about:config every time Mozilla ups the release and no need for another unnecessary addon running for such a simple tweak.

No it does not. Use extensions.checkCompatibility.10.0a set to false

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
