mara- Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Here's the benchmark (attached). Although there are some small improvements in tests, for me this version feels somehow sluggish. Fonts still not fixed!Cheers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted December 21, 2010 Administrator Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'll benchmark as soon as I get some time. :)I read they have done some improvements in the GPU acceleration, panaroma, and redesigned addons manager, etc. Of course many bugs are fixed. I've read that some more changes were done when in pre release. When you enter in "Private Browsing" mode, the "App" button changes its color to Purple.It features new and sexy semi-translucent dialog box. It also enables a blur effect in background to make the alert box more attractive and easy to notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Owl Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 beta 8 stable enough to replace 3.6.13 yet ?Many add-ons don't work yet in Firefox 4 Beta. :( You should check to see if all your add-ons will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted December 21, 2010 Administrator Share Posted December 21, 2010 Quite odd:Note: I benchmarked it thrice to make sure. I believe that me using a beta ATI graphics card driver (that's giving me BSODs) has some impact on the numbers.HTML5 Sudoku tests (10000):Chrome 8: 2.230sFirefox 4 Beta 7: 8.005sFirefox 4 Beta 8: 2.569sOpera 11: 2.624sIE 9 B1: 19.882s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted December 21, 2010 Administrator Share Posted December 21, 2010 I see. Can't really understand. Had even tried disabling hardware acceleration. On the other side, see how much improvement it has done on HTML5 Sudoku test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted December 26, 2010 Administrator Share Posted December 26, 2010 Well, right from the first beta, it's sluggish on the very first start. But after few mins it's gets going quite well. Don't worry Firefox has a long way to go. Speeds should improve (more) in future versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
