Nice, thanks.

Of course slower than Qupzilla, but feels faster than 22.

Sorry, got a crash.

Firefox is my most favorite browser on the Pandora.  So thanks for keep on improving it! 

 

[Askarus]

[Loonie]

Many thanks for your continued support of us firefoxers.

 

[lingenfr]

Agreed. Thanks hdonk.

 

[mcobit]

Thanks man

 

[ingoreis]

Thx from me too


Flash work very good...


...what i rekognized is the SD read/write usage.


Should i use a Swapfile for faster browsing?


It or is there a Way to load Firefox into ram for lesser SD Writings?


The Browser itself work fine but the random SD Card Access slow it much down here.


I try it this Evening without Zram,maybe it work faster

 

[Askarus]

Right, there seems a lot SD-access.

Right, there seems a lot SD-access.

I didn't notice that this time. But I used to get that before when updating. I recommend erasing your whole appdata. That did the trick for me in a previous update.

 

[fusion_power]

Lol good idea, I guess my Firefox appdata folder is untouched since the first FF Pandora version. I guess it can't hurt to delete it. I just was lazy so far to re install all of my plugins and bookmarks, passwords etc. ^^"

 

[Kumaki]

I am very curious, call me stupid if you want...but why do they keep releasing new versions of the same Browser over and over?

It annoys the hell out of me to have to update them on my PC, is there some reason for all this?

It isn't like I see any new functionality or anything...

Bug and security fixes for the most part.

In the past every little updated\bugfixed version was released maintaining the main version number, it was changed only when something big or really different was added, but with the new trend started by Google Chrome seems like the browsers now changes that number at every minimal fix... it's just this, a trend.

The casual people says "Chrome is version 10 while Firefox is STILL version 3 !!! I'll use Chrome because is more updated"

For the rest it's always like in the past.
