Voice isn't playing in the Text-to-Speech application Go study informatics first.If you experience one of these problems: 1. People who support these tendencies and consider themselves to be technically-literate should be ashamed. And there is also a very hungry business behind this all that wants the sales to go up forever. On the other hand there are stupid consumers that do not want to know anything, just wanting to use Facebook even if that will require to buy a new computer. I think this situation exists because of three factors: on one hand there are so-called programmers that are programming with a mouse and know nothing about CPU cycles nor about what a byte of information consists of. Optimization and extendibility is the right way to go. I mean the usual web experience, putting the hi-res videos aside (processing them has nothing to do with browser rendering text, pictures and tables). Computers of today should be doing everything with blazing speed, but the overall speed effect (of loading websites, for example) is more or less the same as we had 10 years ago to produce the same result on the screen. Have you not noticed that most HTML5 websites and JS codes these days use way too much more hardware resources to give the user more or less the same result on the screen?īecause of retards like you two, computers capable of doing billions of operations per second start to become “slow” or even “obsolete”. You are voting not for an “open web”, but for a restricted, non-extendable, really resources hungry Web. What for? Because Flash uses less resources to process the video? And because it is more compatible? (yes, the number of browsers that can run flash is bigger than the number of browsers that can play the video through HTML5, concerning older versions). Optimized interface: highly customizable UI with a look and feel of the familiar pre-australis Firefox.
Alternatively to the e10s, the overall code has been optimized and re-engineered to use threads and isolate itself to protect the machine, the browser and the user No e10s: the team have made an overhaul to disable it and the code has been extirpated from the codebase gradually since then. Improving the performance with an improved rendering engine based on (and highly compatible with) Gecko, the Goanna To kubrick: Man, I can’t say that I know of other Firefox clones/forks, but if you are in the Firefox bandwagon and want to get out because of what you said and other things, take a look at the Pale Moon browser (they will keep supporting the classic plugins and extensions that Firefox is ditching for as long as it is possible, and they can do that because they have been cutting ties with Firefox’s codebase since a few years back: To Dave: Please evaluate Pale Moon browser as well (it’s a highly optimized fork from Firefox with support to NPAPI and the classic XUL extensions, please keep reading to know more. To Gary H: Very sad? Yes, but you have alternatives, if you want to look for them, to know one alternative (a very good one, IMHO), please read the rest. Some add-ons or features may not be yet available because of the nature of ESR releases. Please note though that Firefox 45.x ESR may not support certain features yet that Mozilla implemented in Firefox 46 to 51. The new installation will pick up the profile that you used up until now.
The release is on March 7, 2017.Īnother option that you have is to install Firefox ESR directly on your system, and start using it. Mike notes that you should make the change as close to the release of Firefox 52 ESR as possible.

Mike Kaply published a guide recently that explains how to switch the update channel from Firefox Stable to Firefox ESR.
Another option that you have is to install a Firefox ESR release next to Firefox Stable, and use it exclusively for sites and services that require plugins.
