TRUNK LIFE
Apr. 7th, 2010 10:45 pmIt's that time of year again! Here's what's going on with Firefox these days:
* Motherfucker is fast fast fast. I just did an undo-close-tab, and it was practically instant. Everything just feels speedier.
* I dig the on-tab progress pie. (Actually, I really want to turn Camifox back on, even though I suspect it will result in Teh Badness. Figured I'd savor what the default scheme had to offer before I tried, though.)
* Josh turned on out-of-process plugins! Mind you: the fact that Flash crashing doesn't kill the browser doesn't actually mean much if Flash crashing results in a fullscreen white turd that doesn't let you get to any of your windows until you kill the browser yourself. (Yiss yiss, I will file a bug, if I can figure out where the bastard lives and it isn't already filed.)
* You can't scroll the page with the mousewheel if the cursor is over a piece of Flash; they're like little dead zones where shit don't work right. So awesome. That's exactly how it worked when I was on Linux back in 2005, incidentally. (I think I may have already seen a bug for this one. Will have to check.)
* I'm also using the Flash 10.1 beta, because I am susceptible to peer pressure. Some things don't work very well! (e.g.) I think I'm noticing a general speedup, but it's hard to say. If so, it was going faster on Namoroka than it is on Minefield.
* I was about to open a page I open habitually, and it was already open, which was how I learnt that the awesomebar lets you switch tabs now. Neat! Granted, now that I found Tabs Menu, my use case for that is much much smaller.
* Again, shit's just faster.
