The 16b5 is running MUCH FASTER than any browser I have installed. The difference from the previous version is gaudy!

Yeah, I've switched back to firefox on my desktop computer, much more responsive now. Still fairly laggy UI at times on my laptop though.

Today's nightly is filled with graphical glitches all around firefox window, and even outside it we firefox is focuse. :(

Are you running Catalyst 12.9 beta? If so uninstall it and install 12.8 release. Fixed it for me.

No, i was using version 12.6 and now i'm updating to v12.8. Anyway those glitches disappeared with yesterday's nightly but new ones appeared (bad rendering of text in chrome)

html5test scores for firefox 16 final and 17 beta 1:

html5test firefox 16: 363

html5test beta firefox 16: 372

html5test firefox 17: 388

html5test beta firefox 17: 392

So there's a 15 and a 2 point advantage with firefox 17 beta 1 over firefox 16. Nice to have so many html5 additions :)

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.

      "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.
