jalaffa Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 <img align="right" alt="Firefox-orig.png" class="logo" src="http://www.nsanedown.com/images/logos/Firefox-orig.png" style="float:right; margin: 0 0 0 5px;" title="Firefox" />Firefox is the award winning next generation browser from Mozilla. Firefox empowers you to browse faster, more safely, and more efficiently than with any other browser. Make the switch today - Firefox imports your Favorites, settings and other information, so you have nothing to lose. Stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with Firefox's built in popup blocker. View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving feature. Open links in the background so that they're ready for viewing when you're ready to read them. Built with your security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.

Ryrynz Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Some really good improvements in this release, well worth running over 19 provided everything that was in there in a2 is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomjester Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks for the notice. I skipped 19.0 Final to try this release as my first test of Beta. All seems fine and stable so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demoneye Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 mozilla always says "speed improved" this way or another in almost each update , i just dont understand why cant they catch Chrome speed in one FxxN update ? :wtf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomjester Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I wish Firefox would at least match Chrome speed. I prefer Firefox's features and addons over Chrome's, but Firefox starts to run sluggish, slow, and laggy for me fast unlike Chrome.Private browsing under Tools isn't there in this Beta release? Is there no private browsing mode for/in Beta, or was it also removed from the latest stable 19.0 Final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to have "browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled" set to "True" for that in about:config ;)mozilla always says "speed improved" this way or another in almost each update , i just dont understand why cant they catch Chrome speed in one FxxN update ? :wtf:I wish Firefox would at least match Chrome speed. I prefer Firefox's features and addons over Chrome's, but Firefox starts to run sluggish, slow, and laggy for me fast unlike Chrome.Firefox's cold startup speed is still way too slow in Win7, but has improved a lot over the years both on Win8 and Ubuntu. Anyone who runs build 19/20 on Win or Ubuntu QQ will testify to that :yes:As for rendering speeds, there is hardly any difference any more these days for all practical purposes. With every passing year, how fast your page opens on your monitor has less to do with your browser and more to do with your connection speed. On a 21st century high speed broadband connection (if available and affordable in your region), you won't notice any real world difference between IE, FF, Chrome, Opera, or Safari ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
