Very informative article. Thanks. :)

Note: I didn't know this, but Firefox 20 now comes with H.264 and MP3 support (in HTML5 of course). ^_^

I notice a speed increase for sure! Anyone else notice?

Yes, it's quite fast, this version. :)

You already can do that, in HTML5, from a long long time now (from Firefox 4 I think).

However, thanks for Google's fake promise to Mozilla, till now, you could only stream the HTML5 videos in Google's own WEBM format, not H.264 format. Not anymore, use the tweak mentioned (the H.264 one, not the other) in the link Compuitguy gave and enable H.264.

However, sites itself need to support HTML5 for it to work. On Youtube, you need to manually enable HTML5. However, it doesn't work on all the videos.

Tomorrow or couple of days later.

Firefox 21 Beta 1 is already available for download.

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/21.0b1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2021.0b1.exe

Thanks for the info. It'll be looked upon by the frontpage updaters (am a little busy at the moment ;) ).

For 64-bit nightly users, Mozilla has taken some calls:

1) We still generate win64 nightly updates
2) We have addressed all points on comment 37
3) Updating nightly win64 users to win32 is to happen on bug 834891
4) The trychooser website has been updated to not show win64 as a default platform

Bug on FF 20:

Freezes when you right click on a running SWF media.

Can't reproduce that freezing behavior, here - both on the Windows 8 and Windows 7, as well. :dunno:

Right-clicked the page - no problem (did you mean for the file to be downloaded?)

Edit:

Got it - right clicking the playing page halts the play.

For me it freezes the page and browser goes out of response.

I'm having annoying problem with my nav-bar (navigation bar). I have my symbols or icons in a clearly defined order. However i noticed that if i am using FF 20 this order is ruined by placing my FB icon to the right corner. If i try to reorder it, it does work only till restarting FF.

Never had problems with navigation bar icons before.

Also that new download percentage icon (cannot be turned off) is annoying me.

Right click on the addon bar. In the menu, click on "customize". Then a window pops up, drag the download icon inside the window and finally click "Done".

And now restart FF - all the same.

Besides: do not tell me something without having restart FF just after. If the change "survive" after restarting, that's fine.

I switched back to FF19. No problems with reordering icons or anything.

No problem here even after restart.

FF 20 has some awesome features. Don't switch it back. Try a clean installation removing the previous one completely with traces.
