Uno Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Firefox 3.1 Beta Codenamed Shiretoko +Firefox Optimizer 2008Firefox Version 3.1 Codenamed Shiretoko,Version 3.1, codenamed Shiretoko, is planned to include support for the <video> and <audio> tags as defined in the HTML 5 specification. Cross-site XMLHttpRequests (XHR), which would allow for more powerful web applications and an easier way to implement mashups, is also in planning. Native JSON DOM binding, a powerful feature for web developers, may also be included, together with full CSS 3 selector support. Firefox 3.1 will use the Gecko 1.9.1 engine, which includes a few features that were not included in the 3.0 release.Version 3.1 Alpha 1 was released in late July 2008. Version 3.1 Alpha 2 was launched on September 6, 2008, adding new video support and enhancing the speed of some JavaScript computations. Code named "Shiretoko," Mozilla said it will be the last in a short series of alpha editions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------FIREFOX OPTIMIZER 2008Description:Firefox Optimizer 2008 was developed for an easy and fast optimization of your browsing experience with Firefox.

SacredCultivator Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Sounds very tempting... Any opinoins on this from other users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algalord Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 First of all: Don't download this...Well, the beta installer anybody can get directly from the Mozilla's servers...About the "Firefox Ultimate Optimizer"... All that it does is to fool the Windows Task Manager, not really making any optimization to Firefox memory usage...It keeps running a command called "EmptyWorkingSet" that "hides" the memory used by some process...It also increases your CPU usage by doing this...If you want to check it out by yourself, try the "Firefox Ultimate Optimizer" and pay attention to the total amount of memory used by your system...You'll find out that the only thing that changed was the firefox.exe SHOWED memory usage in the Windows Task Manager and nothing else...It's only a FAKE created by a mexican dev some time ago...Hope this information helps.Algalord® Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uno Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I apologise, if this is fake. i use it, like it, and copied the download link and scanned the archive with AV, and posted it here. It was my honest attempt to be useful , thought others would like it too.I apologise. PS: some users claim this app to be useful (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashad Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 It reduces the amount of the "Working Set" Firefox is using, but this should slow down firefox because the "Virtual Size" didn't change which means firefox will read more from the page file.

shought Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 It reduces the amount of the "Working Set" Firefox is using, but this should slow down firefox because the "Virtual Size" didn't change which means firefox will read more from the page file.rashad is the only one to be totally right, it's not a fake, it's real, but it doesn't help, like rashad said. By emptying/clearing the Working Set of Firefox it will have to reload every byte from the HD again when used, this will slow down Firefox significantly! So my recommendation is not to use this and Uno I recommend you to remove it from your computer as well, it honestly will only slow down Firefox.Because I am 100 % it doesn't work I will not let any other members think that this tool makes their Firefox faster, so I removed the download links. If you still want to try this and believe it actually helps, send Uno a PM.Uno, you obviously meant this to be in everyones best interest, so thanks anyway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonon Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Some tests indicate tracemonkey is up too 30x (!!!) faster then the current spidermonkey in 3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I don't believe in things like this, Firefox is fast as is, and your connection is as fast as you paid for. Nothing can change that, at least not in measurements that go higher than microseconds :towel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference was that I mentioned the CPU usage instead of the disk access, what is a truth, too.I just wanted to make a warning for those who didn't know the program, since I had already tested it. :-)@Uno: I didn't question your intentions! Everybody who adds to the board as you did is welcome! And everybody here should thank you for that as shought did!Regards! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
