Title: Firefox 3.5
Post by: SamuraiCrow on July 01, 2009, 10:37:43 PM

I just upgraded to 3.5 and it absolutely flies on my Intel Mac Mini.  I can even play my Ogg Vorbis files on it without a plugin needed!  The Ogg Theora support hogs a little bit more bandwidth than Flash but it is good images.  Are there any other good websites where I can test it?

Thanks!  It works great when the video downloads completely before it plays!

http://www.brighthub.com/internet/web-development/articles/38364.aspx has an article on how to use the new "canvas" tag.  The demo on linked on the last page does 3-layer parallax!

Doh!

Part of my job at work is to deploy Firefox with various lockdowns. I only just deployed 3.0.11 yesterday. Is it worth me doing another deployment of 3.5 straight away?

Hi,

I've just installed FF3.5 on my desktop (P4 3.0HT, 512MB RAM, XP Pro) and laptop (same spec) and I honestly can't noticed any difference in speed between it and FF 3.0.11...

Maybe I'm visiting the wrong sites! :-)

Mike.

yeah, the netscape bounty is still here.i think firefox is not slower as netsurf 68k on most pages.and without Cairo its still a little faster.

another idea is using the android google chrome on amiga OS.

The layout is quite a bit faster on the Mac version.  It's still limited by the speed of your internet hookup though.
