Mozilla Firefox, new releases, Add-Ons, tips for customisation

I'm looking into mods like this. I enable color profiles in FF for ALL images. But some p*** forums :banana: that have hundreds of thumbnails in a page just chugg like a mofo... especially when I open a new tab with a 6 MP image or multiple tabs with 6 MP images.

I think it's really a thread power issue - happens when one CPU core gets pegged 100%. If FF was multithreaded like Chrome... I wouldn't have issues... Or maybe move to intel for better per core performance...

 

Firefox 31.0 Final gets released, ATM not available via autoupdate:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/31.0/win32/

release notes:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/31.0/releasenotes/

 

Auto update started now :nerd:

 

32-bit is past

now is 64-bit

and if your computer is slow or low memory RAM
light firefox 64-bit

Mozilla should really start to do something to speed up the browser. It's just so damn slow. They seem to only optimise for benchmarks but in reality.... When I look my site analytic data Firefox is by far the slowest browser when it comes to page load times (IE is fastest, Opera and Chrome are close although Opera is almost as fast usually). IE11 is noticeably snappier even when compared to firefox with adblock.

Firefox is damn lagfest. Stutterer mess and laggy page scrolling. Especially when loading multiple tabs at once (or just loading one tab behind while scrolling the loaded page).

And why on earth they haven't released official 64-bit version for Windows already?

UPDATED

 

Mozilla Firefox 32.0 Final Stable released yesterday:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/32.0/win32/

Still not available via autoupdate atm...

 

firefox original from mozila is much slower than versions that staff compiles around

test 2 versions for example
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcxfirefox
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lightfirefox/

in my test lightfirefox v32 32bit is more faster then all minimum 30% more faster then original firefox

test you and post result

 

You can make FF display pages instantly instead of waiting for them to load behind the scenes before displaying to the user with a few tweaks

Mine loads pages almost instantly

 

Very nice, thanks
I had a try of the 64bit of Nightly and the browser opens instantly (even with all the addons enabled)

 

The HTTP cache is now enabled by default in 32? What should I do about the old tweak to enable by setting "browser.cache.use_new_backend" to 1? I checked with a clean profile and it is set to 0 but a new "browser.cache.use_new_backend_temp" is set to enabled. Should I leave it as 1 or 0? :S
