- onlysc, on 11/26/2008, -9/+42firefox 3.1=chrome killer!
- benburned, on 11/27/2008, -0/+28I find it impossible to bury this comment.
- solarisom, on 11/27/2008, -0/+24How can one bury...that which is unburiable?
- zerhynn, on 11/27/2008, -1/+18No reason to kill something that's already dying.
- Zippo, on 11/26/2008, -4/+19Holy crap, so do I!
- 610dean, on 11/26/2008, -1/+15Keep it as the most secure browser and I will always be a fan!
- KnightMareInc, on 11/27/2008, -1/+13I just want the startup faster. Thats one of the things I love about chrome
- douglasr007, on 11/27/2008, -0/+11Chrome is the Chrome killer.
- s0m31john, on 11/27/2008, -0/+11I'll allow it.
- caspy7, on 11/27/2008, -0/+8I'm sorry, did you really just say that you switched browsers because you were running an unstable *beta* browser?
Did it occur to you to switch to...I dunno, the non-beta version?
Seriously, you called it *****. It's *beta application*! Do you know what beta means? Did you notice the 'for testers' warnings when you downloaded it?
Next you're going to tell me you enabled the new JS JIT and forced all your old extensions to load... - ligyron, on 11/27/2008, -2/+10Am I supposed to Digg you if I also use Firefox? Is that how this works? Well ***** that
- beaudh, on 11/27/2008, -0/+6Thank goodness for that!
- Zippo, on 11/26/2008, -3/+9Hey, whatever it takes to make Firefox solid.
- inactive, on 11/26/2008, -3/+8It's nice to see a good thing made better. Way not to settle, guys!
- mmastrac, on 11/27/2008, -2/+7You didn't enter the cheat code correctly.
- MavRevMatt, on 11/27/2008, -2/+7Really? I do too!
- orrinbloquy, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5All right Mister Spicoli, are you going to share what you're smoking with the rest of the class?
- gieroy, on 11/27/2008, -1/+5Do something with the full screen bug under Linux!
- ethana2, on 11/27/2008, -0/+4All web standards compliant browsers are friends. Outside of microsoft, we know that competition does not equate to murder. Google plans to get Chrome preinstalled on machines instead of IE. That is nothing but excellent, assuming they update to the latest webkit quickly.
- Rolcol, on 11/27/2008, -0/+4The most recent update scores a 93 on the Acid3 test. Way better than the 71 that version 3.0.4 scores.
- RobotBuddha, on 11/27/2008, -1/+4I just hope it plays nice with flash in linux. For some reason I get no sound with it in firefox's 3.1 beta, and it can't go fullscreen. It works with sound in opera though, and can go full screen. Oddly, it can't go fullscreen in opera if firefox is also running at the same time though. Not just if firefox has flash going at the same time, but just if firefox has even a blank page up. It's odd.
- B0FH, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3> Next you're going to tell me you enabled the new JS JIT and forced all your old extensions to load...
That's what I did with recent nightly snapshots, and I haven't seen a single crash. So I'm really looking forward to beta 2, if it continues like this it will be perfectly usable - while bringing many fixes to the Linux platform (i.e. external RSS readers finally working for those without Gnome crapware). - roxgod666, on 11/27/2008, -1/+4They're already dead if you don't watch nickelodeon...
- DeviateSeptum, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2It used to be that http://www.mozilla.org/ would frequently update to keep users informed about the latest developements but that page hardly ever changes anymore. There certainly was no mention of this news. In fact, I'm no longer sure where the best single location is to check the pulse of the development. I feel like ever since the development of the Mozilla Foundation, users have been less informed about the dev cycle. Take the roadmap for instance, where is an uptodate roadmap anymore? I can find like 5 or 6 different places that have "roadmaps" all of which are way out-of-date. There should be a single roadmap in a place that is easy to find.
- ethana2, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2I'm glad they dropped the ctrl+alt+tab glitz, it's not proper unless its a compiz plugin of some kind. I do, however, hope they revise the order enough to make that key combo something I'll use, you know, last tab first, like with everything else. It's absolutely worthless to me now, I never know what in the blazes it's going to do this time, so I just never use it at all.
- xrmb, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2I'm using beta 1 since its out... I even have the new javascript engine on... and so far i had no problems...
Kill Kill! - coldkill3r, on 11/27/2008, -8/+9***** the RIAA!
- AirRaven, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1Depends if the interface is snappy enough.
The rendering speed isn't the only draw to Chrome. - efitz11, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1but i don't wanna go to school!
- dreimanis, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1You're a browsexual, dude.
- inactive, on 11/27/2008, -3/+4No way! I thought I was the only one!
- ethana2, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1Which one? The one where us people with combined menu/tool bars get no controls AT ALL when in fullscreen mode, or are you referring to something else?
- caspy7, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1Untrue. It was landed in beta 1, but was not enabled. (It was enabled after beta 1.)
Users however are able to enable it in beta 1. - comrade693, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1You don't have the new JavaScript engine if you have beta 1. It was landed right after beta 1.
- ethana2, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1I report bugs on firefox
- toddro1971, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1When FF is working its great, but I have had to uninstall it like 10 times since Version 3 came out. Would just lock up on me, never had that problem with 2. I hope they get this worked out.
- masskurec, on 03/01/2009, -0/+0minefield is performing very well in vista x64
http://xptweak.net - AxeMAYHEM, on 11/27/2008, -1/+1Chroming kills
- bigp3rm, on 11/27/2008, -1/+1I fought it for as long as I could. But yesterday I installed chrome. Firefox would sometimes hold as much as 300 megs of my memory. With chrome the most I have seen is around 75.
- arunforce, on 11/27/2008, -1/+1I doubt that Chrome is dying.
Oh yeah, humans die too, but that doesn't stop murderers? - twiztidsinz, on 11/27/2008, -1/+1I only get an 88 (with and without TraceMonkey) on 3.1b1.
- shadowspawn, on 11/27/2008, -3/+3See here's my beef: If FFX had a decent deployment instead of going through hoops and ladders on creating custom *everything* when dealing with OU's and GPO's, it'd be better.
But the damn thing doesn't really have a centralized system like MS. Say what you want about IE, but MS has the corporate install and configuration down pat. That's why MS/IE is so popular. Yes, the home platform says quite a bit. But the corporate guys who make a living off of a "secure" system are the ones that really write the articles, have the yea or nay for thousands of installs at a time, and who, in the end, make the difference.
It really irks me, having to deal with so many different client networks and so many diverse situations... that mozdev doesn't have a single tool yet that can wrap the whole thing up, package it, deploy it, and administer it from a central source. CHRIST even Netscape had a damn decent system with Novel. Yes, NETSCAPE.
I refuse to conclude that mozdev doesn't realize that if someone would just take a few months to make it happen officially (and yes, you can hack it on your own) you could administer across different platforms.
Then, quite frankly, FFX would be golden. If you really think about this it opens a world of opportunity to FFX. I mean even a carrier's mobile platform could benefit from it, and different carriers can adjust to different requirements, updates, limitations, etc.
Just an OU and GPO based configuration, installation, deployment, and support. It really isn't that god damn tough. I did it remembering Netscape's tricks. They can do it. I'm ***** nobody.
If I can do it, just to see what a pain in the ass it is, then someone who gets *paid* to do it... well, they should just do it. - ShadowofAres, on 11/27/2008, -1/+1I've been using it for a few weeks now and it seems to be pretty bug-free as it is, aside from the slightly more frequent crashes.
- natenovs, on 11/27/2008, -2/+2thats because flash and sound in linux sucks. add it to the long list of things that suck in linux land
- MarkSwanson, on 11/27/2008, -0/+0I've been testing the new FF beta (minefield). In a Linux host running Windows XP in QEMU/KVM I've benchmarked JavaScript consistently running 13x faster. The JavaScript I'm testing is the timezone calculation code in sw2:
http://www.ScheduleWorld.com/sw2 (which works offline). The benchmark I'm running is actually embedded in the JavaScript application (Tools -> Browser Test -> Speed)
I haven't seen any speedups with minefield under Linux though. I'm assuming Mozilla hasn't included the new tracemonkey in the Linux 32-bit or 64-bit builds yet. Though, I couldn't find any confirmation of this in a brief search.
If anyone knows the status of tracemonkey in Linux please post. - SparkKnot, on 11/27/2008, -0/+0Whaa?
