The one feature I've noticed so far is that the page renders much faster than it used to. I guess this is the "speculative rendering" changes made to Gecko (FF's layout engine). In fact, it made me realize that a lot of page loading time is probably due to slow-loading ads or scripts, not because the actual website or my connection is slow.
- JimmyL 17y agoYeah - I'm seeing this as well. The real thing I've noticed - and this happens every time that a major new rev comes out - is how much my browsing experience depends on various extensions. Sure, stock Firefox works, but in order for it to be the incredible tool I'm used to I need five or ten separate extensions there. It's almost as it Firefox is more a browsing platform (which allows others to develop extensions that work for me) than a straight-up browser. In other news, where's my PTTL and Google Gears!
- aj 17y agoI've also noticed that my FF instance uses a LOT less memory. Where the usual 60 tabs would take 400+ MB (and a max of 1gig+ sometimes) of memory, it now hardly goes more than 350 MB and an average of 275-300 MB
- ramidarigaz 17y ago60 tabs? WOW. I never use more than 10-15. Right now, I have 12 open, and FF is using a total of 172MB.
- aj 17y agoHehe.. This is less because due to a stupid tech support dude, I lost about 100+ of the open tabs
