new version 57 of FireFox today
Well, I got the new version 57 of FireFox today. New and Improved with
all new Quantum technology (whatever the crap that is). It is noticeably faster and has new color skins (blander, much blander). It appears that each webpage has its own process now plus a couple of more for good luck. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo.../releasenotes/ The only sad thing is that I lost my Autofill add-on. https://firefox.add0n.com/autofill-forms.html My Ublock Origin adblocker XXXXXX wide spectrum blocker did update also. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#ublock-origin Recommended. Bring lots of memory ! BTW, I am running the x64 version of FireFox on Windows 7 x64 with 16 GB of ram. Lynn |

Tried Cyberfox, but it took ~5s to open and then ~5s to load Startpage. Went to Pale Moon, ~2s to open and ~3s to load Startpage. The new Fx is about 3s and ready to go, but it uses a lot more RAM than PM. There's also the issue of few useful extensions, so it's clunky to use, e.g. Go Back needs the button or R-click select Go Back. PM is simply R-click-L-click done with Fire Gestures installed. There a lots of things that I'd need to make me change - like 4GB RAM extra - on a 32-bit OS! -- Peter. The gods will stay away whilst religions hold sway |

My main problem now is that a lot of useful little add-ons have stopped working with little prospect of being replaced in the paradigm.

Much faster than previous versions but still used a lot of RAM - about 700MB just to open up. Couldn't find many extensions that worked, especially those that make it useable (mouse and keyboard mainly, with some GUI). Anyway, Moonchild's Basilisk is available in Alpha form: it's as fast as Quantum and opens on about 300MB of RAM. It seems to use some more as tabs are open and release it as tabs are closd. http://www.softpedia.com/get/Interne...Basilisk.shtml -- Peter. The gods will stay away whilst religions hold sway |

I like the new version even though a couple of my add-ons aren't working anymore. One kept the tab hidden when there was only one, which meant I never saw an ugly tab since my settings allow only one (everything in Options Tabs unchecked). But I can put up with a single tab now to get the increased speed and ability to handle even 4k videos without stuttering. Larc |
