- allywilson, on 12/21/2007, -4/+96It's opensource...create FireKox or something...
- Popper, on 12/21/2007, -3/+71I had that once. Doc gave me some antibiotics, and it was cool.
- jacobmp92, on 12/21/2007, -2/+59If you're wondering, Firefox 3b2 is very speedy. Tabs flip instantaneously, pages load in moments, and yes, Firefox 3 is able to handle the Digg comment system without freezing. I'm noticing a much lighter memory footprint as well.
- kingofpenguins, on 12/21/2007, -14/+49I just wish there would be qt support. Oh well, at least now this will fit in better in KDE with the gtk-qt-engine.
- andrewrchambers, on 12/21/2007, -7/+30when will people learn not to mix linux and ATI?
- mooninite, on 12/21/2007, -0/+21Mozilla has fixed the bug, and the fix is in Firefox 3 (not firefox 2). Adobe has to update the Flash player to support the fix though.
- luisromangz, on 12/21/2007, -2/+23The newest ATI drivers, released after ATI was bought by AMD, are great.
- KillerJ59J, on 12/21/2007, -0/+19It's been done before, it was abandoned, though. Conflicts between the qt developers and moz, I think.
- NinjaBoy, on 12/21/2007, -4/+21Man i spent 3 hours today just working on my theme. It matters ALOT to me.
- R031E5, on 12/21/2007, -2/+18Firefox 3.0 is a win for everyone! No more memory leaks + smart address bar = bliss
- trogdoor, on 12/21/2007, -0/+15It's not Mozillas job to work around bugs in Adobe's products, and if they did start doing it then Adobe would never fix those bugs themselves and we'd just have a hacked up mess.
- baalzebub, on 12/21/2007, -0/+15and i wish John Deere would start making bicycles too ;p
- courtjester555, on 12/21/2007, -1/+16True, but win and Linux often do.
- Remmy, on 12/21/2007, -4/+18Sorry to stray from the topic of the story, but seriously, you guys are always putting down schestowitz and instead of doing harm, you're simply making him look better. It's making you guys look like total douches. Don't like his submissions? Don't read them. Think you can do better? Start submitting your own stories. Seriously. Grow the ***** up. I don't see you interviewing Richard Stallman.
- geminitojanus, on 12/21/2007, -0/+14Firefox is a bit of a bastardization, as they use XUL and a bunch of custom widgets to do lots of things. "True GTK+ support" would mean that XUL has a complete platform binding for GTK+, like it does with Win32 on Windows and now Cocoa on Mac OS X (formerly a Carbon/Cocoa blend). This makes XUL applications look and feel "native", even if they aren't native at all (and are in fact, written mostly in Javascript).
- trogdoor, on 12/21/2007, -2/+15http://getswiftfox.org/
- arbulus, on 12/21/2007, -1/+14I'm going to second andrewchambers comment.
But I'm also curious, what linksys device doesn't work with Linux? Their routers all run Linux, iirc. - santasing, on 12/21/2007, -1/+14The latest build are pretty fast also in terms of rendering. I am actually using it more than FF2 daily.
- WMGoBuffs, on 12/21/2007, -22/+34I'm sorry, I just don't get off on how well the THEMES match. Tell me about its drain on resources, not how the tabs look like Epiphany or the icon shape is cohesive...
- cookiecaper, on 12/21/2007, -2/+14I'd like to know the difference between true GTK support, as the article claims Firefox now has, and _true_ GTK support, which the article says the thing doesn't have. Being able to read which theme you have GTK set to isn't really that amazing, imo.
- trogdoor, on 12/21/2007, -1/+12No, the point is that Firefox will match HIS theme, even if it's not the default.
- jacobmp92, on 12/21/2007, -0/+11Don't you find it a little ironic that I also wrote that review on FOSSwire too? ;)
The post that was submitted (which caught me off guard) was focusing on the theme integration, not the browser overall. - AceofSpades19, on 12/21/2007, -1/+11Linux isn't freeware, its open-source, they are 2 different things
- drunk3nrabbit, on 12/22/2007, -0/+10I'm a ginger, and i find this comment offensive
- arobar, on 12/21/2007, -0/+9The new drivers are great for the newest cards. I've got an RV250/Radeon 9000, and the drivers are still terrible. The open source drivers are OK and will give me acceleration, but dual-head? Forget about it.
- makario, on 09/03/2009, -0/+9That's GNOME's fault, not Firefox's.
- jsully, on 12/21/2007, -0/+8I would argue that browsing the internet can be slightly less time consuming than hacking at Mozilla's code. Sometimes.
- geminitojanus, on 12/21/2007, -2/+10So instead of supporting Mozilla, you bitch about it on Digg.
Congratulations for being an *****. Next time someone offers you something for free, remember, someone put work into it at some point. If you want it fixed, work for it; send some money, buy a developer a beer, send the company a crate of ramen noodles for a few dollars and attach a note: "please fix bug #xxxxxx". Stop bitching and be a part of the solution. - digudown, on 12/21/2007, -0/+8give this feedback to mozilla, esp with reproducible test case. The whole point of beta testing is to iron out bugs like these.
- Fritzel, on 12/21/2007, -5/+13Dugg for FireKox
- stoanhart, on 12/21/2007, -1/+9Yes, it is. I'm using it right now. It is much, much faster, especially on JS heavy sites like Digg. I was ready to leave FF due to speed and stability issues with FF2 on Linux. The only thing that kept me were the plugins.
Granted I've only been using beta2 since last night, but so far I am extremely impressed. I truly hope Mozilla keeps the FF development train on the "Faster, better, less resources" track. - santasing, on 12/21/2007, -3/+10Here's your cookie.
- Vektuz, on 12/21/2007, -0/+7I can't wait for this to come out of beta. I'm already using it on windows all the time, and I must say, its SOOO much faster for me. That, and the zoom mode is killer feature, especially on this high res but small screen.
- kingofpenguins, on 12/22/2007, -1/+8Yeah, that's the gtk-qt-engine I was referring to, which will now look better because Fx has better GTK support. How about you read all of my comment before you reply. It was only one line long...
- koick, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6Ever since FF2 barfed on my windows box, I've been running FF3 nightlies on both my windows and Mac boxes for the last ~4 months and although there a little bugs (esp. for some days) I'd call it stable enough to use as your primary. Once you get used to it, you won't want to deal with FF2.
- localzuk, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6Exact opposite here. It only started to get slow once I had 75+ tabs open with dozens of images and large amounts of JS in each...
- koick, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6You probably want to start off with a fresh profile.
- inactive, on 12/21/2007, -2/+8Well aren't you the lucky one today? Merry Christmas.
http://www.mrtoys.com/John-Deere/john-deere-heavy- ... - inactive, on 12/21/2007, -3/+9WINNER
- antileet, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6I'm loving the new beta.
If the Dev. Team is reading this, THANK YOU! This has been a great improvement already :) - Palastanga, on 12/21/2007, -1/+6Do you just want Windows to sit and there and not allocate the RAM to firefox when its requested? Thats the *entire* point of having RAM - using it to increase performance of the system compared to writting it to disk.
- koick, on 12/22/2007, -1/+6This big ol thread over transparency in Flash on Firefox on digg??!!! File a damn bug report!
- jsully, on 12/21/2007, -16/+21Flash transparency. Please fix it, I don't care that you don't think it's your responsibility.
- jsully, on 12/21/2007, -10/+15Off the top of my head:
- because I don't know how
- because I have a full time job
- because Mozilla employs people who's job it is to fix these things - koick, on 12/21/2007, -6/+11Your second point holds no water if you have time to follow a thread on digg.
- AceofSpades19, on 12/21/2007, -0/+5competition = good, no competition = bad
- pickture, on 12/21/2007, -0/+5Yes, there is a smooth scrolling option
- TheWindBlows, on 12/22/2007, -0/+4you must be running windows * zombie eyes stare at you " get linux " *
linux 2 (512 shared video so really only 1.5) GB RAM 2.1 Ghz X2 Athlon 64 I have no use for my swap partition.
for normal use its very hard to get linux to go above 1GB of RAM usage. - andycr512, on 12/22/2007, -0/+4Does everyone run GTK?
- SpookyET, on 12/21/2007, -3/+7You don't need a QT Firefox. Install GTK-QT ( http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=9 ... ). I'm sure it's packaged for your distribution. It's a GTK Theme Engine that calls QT. Meaning, your GTK apps will have QT widgets and icons.
It's too bad that there is no reverse for gnome loving people. -
