I'd love for the recent changes to rendering which fix long standing performance issues on OSX to hit release as soon as possible. https://twitter.com/whimboo/status/1168437524357898240 https://twitter.com/whimboo/status/1168437524357898240 . Many users are running nightly right now to take up these changes because they are so valuable. As a user, I'm requesting Firefox take features to market sooner :)

Philosophical question: does letting code incubate for a longer period of time with the same test/user load (same nightly/beta users, same integration test suite) really enhance stability?
> Translation: marketing managers want to change their minds faster than up to now.
This is just blanket cynicism - do you have insight into the Firefox development process that suggests this is true?
- lizzard 7y agoI actually took those changes in 70, so they should make it to the release version at the end of October. If you can, please try using 70 Beta and see how the power use improves! https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1574538 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1574538
- bri3d 7y agoThank you so much! The nightlies have been good and I will try the beta.
