Now, for me that's not problem, I'm not patient person, but surely it is browser that will protect my privacy as opposed to Chrome. Recently, somewhere, I saw download link saying something like "Mozilla Developer, for people like you", or something alike, I installed it and man, that browser is like 10x faster than regular Firefox AND Chrome AND Safari, I mean, this speed is outrageous!
It's great, no sarcasm! I don't get it, why is regular Firefox so slow and Firefox Developer so frickin' fast? Can you maybe base your next Firefox update to Firefox Developer? Firefox Developer Edition is a pre-release version of Firefox. So what you see in Developer edition is what will be released to regular Firefox in about 12 weeks we do releases every 6 weeks, and Dev edition is two releases ahead of release. Dev Edition also uses a fresh profile, which can be faster than your old profile that is full of old data.
Tyler Downer Oke, good to hear it's next release of Firefox. Currently they have the latest ESR or the latest stable release. An older version would be bad in terms of security. Or do you mean that TOR can take beta version more frequently for development? Thanks for your feedback. If downstream projects like Tor wish to stay current with Firefox releases then yes, they will have to do more frequent releases.
I just loved reading your articles. The best thing which I really like about your articles is, you covers each and every thing in your articles which makes your article more helpful. I have seen people love to read those articles more which are easy to understand and can help a lot. And you always write such kind of articles. Thanks for sharing this informative article and keep doing the good work.
For anything other than the most critical security patches, these frequent releases are an inconvenience to ordinary users, and cause IT admins disruption to their user communities.
The push for frequent releases will inevitably lead to shoddy work when a developer had the freedom to simply fix a bug in the next release. You will simply wind up with end-users disabling updates altogether rather than accepting a quarterly patch. We are not pushing developers to fix or implement features in 4 weeks, they have the same time as they did before, we just have more windows of opportunity to release those changes now.
Hello, considering ever faster update cycles has there been improvement or is there a plan to upgrade update process?
In sense, to have an option for browser to autoupdate on each close or opening of. Or considering now multiprocess execution dream would be to update browser seamlessly as it is runnig — but then again I assume that hotswapping takess considerably more effort to get right an is much more error prone.
Also, thank you, all of you, for you continued work, time, patience and effort! It is very much appreciated. What about us people that just like using FireFox because it is great! I do not want to stop using FireFox. This is really nice to see that Mozilla is picking up the 4 weeks release cycle and making their release plan more agile.
Also, I am really curious to know about the two different pipelines you people have one is for experimental and another is main line for feature development. Thanks for sharing information.. Keep it up the great work.
I'm okay with Mozilla handling my info as explained in this Privacy Policy. The next release is the culmination of work under Project Quantum, a major effort to deliver a new Firefox browser engine that exploits multi-core CPUs and GPUs on today's desktop and mobile hardware for a faster and smoother browsing experience. Another project called Electrolysis redesigned the browser to run with multiple processes and optimized it for speed and memory usage.
As of Firefox 56, users could open over 1, tabs in a few seconds thanks to another projected called Quantum Flow. Mozilla boasts that Firefox Quantum is twice as fast at loading popular websites as it was a year ago and claims on its own tests of the beta that it beats Chrome to many websites, including the Google login page.
Ahead of Firefox Quantum's release, Mozilla's developers have removed bugs that may have impeded the browser's new speed capabilities. Part of the Quantum improvements come from a new "super-fast CSS engine" that was written in Rust and, unique to browsers, runs in parallel across multiple CPU cores.
In other changes, Firefox now prioritizes active tabs so that these download and run before other tabs that are open in the background.
Finally, Firefox Quantum will introduce a new modern interface called Photon, which Mozilla says is better suited to today's high DPI displays. On Windows PCs with a touch display, menu sizes adjust to suit a mouse or finger.
It also introduces a new look to menus, square tabs, a Library button that is a home for bookmarks, downloads, history, saved Pocket articles, and so forth. Why you should root for Mozilla's Firefox 57 in the browser wars. Mozilla's comeback in the browser wars may be a long shot amid the dominance of Google and Chrome, but there are good reasons to hope the organization is successful. Firefox can open over 1, tabs in 15 seconds. If you're a tab hoarder, then the latest Firefox builds might be the browser for you.
