@EdKiefer new private build firefox with AVX2

If you have a CPU that supports AVX2, will it speed up Firefox well? or it stays the same

That is cool but I wouldn't use 3rd party builds for my main system.
I wonder if FF would ever get official support for avx2 or above.

 

there is nothing in firefox that can benefit from AVX2

So why would the author waste time creating a firefox build with avx2 if there is no difference? Someone with a Ryzen 5600 would have to take this build and run several benchmarks, then the common version and then compare all the results. then we would know if there was a win or a waste of time

Ahh, I missed you already posted 118.

 

I think what he means is there nothing or very little that can run from a browser that would benefit from AVX2 instructions, at least for normal daily usage.

Why Ryzen 5600, any modern CPU supports AVX2.

Apparently one of the oldest bugs was fixed in 119 that existed since Windows 98, where tootips would stay visible when firefox loses focus or a video goes fullscreen.

 

Better late than never, I guess.
