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

I tried the nightly and it was the same for me unfortunately.

Try this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FujGBY7rMI

Try flipping media.hardware-video-decoding.enabled between True and False (restart the browser after changing) and keep an eye on the news ticker at the bottom of the screen. It should be smoother with false.

 

Any way to get rid of the video thumbnails YT places on top, towards the end of videos? I really hate those lol.

 

I installed nightly (54) and it uses around 300MB more RAM v/s the current dev edition (53). Is this normal for v54 or does Nightly have some overhead I'm not aware of?

53 has 3 processes, I assume one is the main browser, tabs, and the last one is for the new GPU process.

54 has 4 and right now 3 of them are fairly large @ 400MB+ and what I assume is the GPU process is at 93MB. 53's GPU process has always been between 7-9MB.

54 seems to be faster at rendering v/s 53 so I'm inclined to keep it but I just want to clear up whether my RAM numbers are normal or something's wrong.

 

Far as I know the current alpha / dev version now uses GPU compositor separation or what they called it but yeah even with the beta (v52) Firefox is using a little bit more RAM though I'm guessing it's primarily just cached and not actually used memory.

No idea about the nightly build though, probably has some further adjustments in regards to e10s process separation and now the separation of the GPU composite rendering into it's own thread but I don't know if that build has a actual changelog or if it's more like Bugzilla due to it being updated nearly every day.

 

Hmmm... it's a WIP and they're including stuff written in a new language so I guess it's due to that. There's something in nightly called container tabs which makes a second browser unnecessary I like that 54 dims the rest of the content when searching within a page. I'll roll back to dev edition when it reaches v54.

 

I reset all the E10 stuff to defualts which usual disabled it but in CF 51.0.3 it remains enabled by user, I guess they fixed compatibility issue

 

On my machine I suddenly had to force enable electrolysis or it wouldn't work. That wasn't the case before. I noticed this when Firefox suddenly became dog slow. Really... Firefox is horrible browser without electrolysis.

 

dont know I cant even disable E10 thingy anymore is just seem to be on now

 

When I open 2nd tab in CF I get 2 process but I even if i have 10+ tabs open dont see 3 processes

 

I'm not sure which version of FF CF uses but the second process is because of e10s and in v53 the gpu process got enabled. You can verify if it is enabled by going to about:support and checking the graphics section and it will have a process id assigned. It might not be present or enabled before v53. 54 has 4 processes now. I don't know what the 4th one is for though.

 

no process id, just Vender ID,Device ID, Subsys ID

 

Firefox 52.0 is out not, atm only on FTP but not via autoupdate:

Cheers

 

Firefox has switch for hardware accelerated VP9 however... With that enabled video playback is a stuttering mess.

 

v52.0 just came through autoupdate

EDIT: Now getting the connections not secure when i go to login on here, says Login could be compromised, and the Learn More, brings up this :-

Had the grey lock icon, with the red strike through it for ages in the address bar, so i ain't going to lose any sleep over it

 

Such monkeys at Mozilla now I can't watch livestreams anymore cause they think they are Master Race and don't support Silverlight anymore, but don't even have a working replacement.

 

You have Firefox ESR https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/
