FF7 is out
« on: September 28, 2011, 10:03:55 AM »
Fuck... they're coming with it fast now.  I did notice a memory improvement last night after I installed it.  I'm also digging the URL change.  Otherwise, doesn't seem much different.

I heard they changed their development plan so that they'll be coming out with new releases regularly (6 months or so?).

6 WEEKS, not months.  And there is a rumor that they're bumping it up to 5 weeks.

Version 6 came out 6 weeks ago to the day.

I switched to crome last fall and have been using it exclusivly now for the past 6+ month, if not longer (except when I have to test something in FF or IE)

No complaints yet.

I like the site.  I do not like the design, but it is a site along with ARS and Anand that I visit regularly.

Firefox 9 (Aurora) With Type Inference Now for Download

Mozilla has just released the developer version of Firefox 9, which will include a boost for JavaScript performance.

ZoomFirefox has not been good for a lot of positive headlines lately, especially since it seems to be surrendering market share to Chrome faster than the arctic its ice cover. However, it recently sent its first true rapid release (Firefox 7) out the door and there is now a good picture of Firefox 9, which could become the most significant release of the browser this year.

Scheduled for a December 20 release, Firefox 9 is now shipping as an Aurora release and includes, most importantly, support for type inference. This technology allows Firefox' JavaScript to sift through code more effectively and run JavaScript applications much faster as a result. Mozilla claims that Firefox 9 is about 44 percent faster than Firefox 8 in its own Kraken benchmark. Other new features include a JavaScript do-not-track API, as well as the integration of the new tablet touch UI.

The software can be downloaded from Mozilla's Firefox Releases channel.

Is FF auto-updating itself yet?

I've had to use a few people's laptops at work and they use FF and I just want to bash something afterwards.

Just today, I saw my pretty slider using <input type="range"> be ruined in FF which displays it as an oversized input box :(

No, it doesn't auto-update.  It tells you that a new version is out and asks you if you want to restart, when you restart, it installs the new version.
