Meet the New Firefox 35

might give it a go

i've been using FF 34.0.5 clean install on a SSD and sometimes it takes like a minute to close a tab, never happened when i had it on a mechanical drive.
 
more responsive but also eats more ram, 3 tabs and it's eating 270mb

gotta install memory fox
 
I upgraded FF a couple days ago. I haven't noticed any big differences.
 
I've been using FF well since it pretty much came out because it always seemed better than the alternative. I will say though since they changed minor updates giving completely major revision number changes, I've been getting more and more disgruntled. The more changes they make to "lure" new users the more it makes me want to quit because now I have to "relearn" what everything does.

I'd be happy with FF3 and let add-ons by 3rd parties make the experience better. Not try to compete with Microsoft with their own version of Skype
 
Yay! Feature creep! :rolleyes:

Yet still no native support for MSE, H.264, and WEBM VP9, hence still gotta rely on Chrome to see 60FPS Youtube videos. Hell, even IE supports 60FPS playback on YT.

Same here.
They need x64 version for us 200+ tabbers.

Not impressed. I'll stick with Palemoon

Lol, jumped back to FF after learning I can make FF like pre 25 with the new add-ons people mention here. Coarse I might install PM 64 for when I need to have massive tabs open.
 
Does this new version re-hire Brendan Eich? No? Then I'll continue to not use Firefox.

Ok I gotta ask.. why 200+ tabs? I work multiple monitors and websites and typically have 6-8. I can see a few more, but 200? Geez.

Dude, I average 20-50 tabs just checking tech news, camera news & wikipedia. Wikipedia can take like 20 alone sometimes. you can really get sucked into wikipedia. When doing full fledged research, I can totes see the 200+ tabs he's mentioning. I get that way when doing product research & checking auto industry developments & humor.

You're using the internet wrong bro.
Hahaha. JK.
 
I typically have about 20-24 tabs open, but much of it is due to procrastination. I'll open an interesting looking article to a new tab, but if it's too long, I'll put it on my mental "read later" list, and sometimes that article doesn't get read for a week or a month or sometimes longer! :eek:

But of all my open tabs, I'd say half of them are ones I'd be looking at within the same day or 2.

Right, I've seen 20-30 tabs and I can totally get that. But at a certain point the tabs become so small they offer no info at all as to what they are. At that point you are better off just creating a temp bookmark. I'm just trying to figure how how on earth 200+ is productive on any level. :D

At that point, you should really start using multiple windows, instead of 200 tabs in the same window.
 
I like the palemoon concept, but i detest that ugly moon icon they use to replace the standard ff art. i guess theres no other option out there that does what palemoon does, but retains the normal ff icons etc?
 
I'm happy when I have as few as 15 tabs open.

Yay for ff? I don't care about features as much as I care about stability and security. It's still not a viable option as a primary browser. One thing I do like is its JS speed. It's a joy to test out things with, especially compared with IE.

Tree Style Tab on FF.

Tree-Style-Tab

I average 90+ tabs at work, and that, plus noscript and a few other addons, and I don't eat as much ram as you think. Plus I can have 2-10tabs open for a single project, condense them down to a single tab, and come back to it later. I have them all saved as I go, so if I need to reboot, they're there when I come back. I literally won't switch away from FF or some FF based browser because of that one add-on.

Yeah, I usually have multiple windows on multiple monitors. 2560px also allows for a lot of tabs. I really should have looked into mem saving apps for firefox. woulda saved some dough on not buying 32gb of ram. Oh well.
 
Firing their CEO because years ago he voted for CA's Prop 8, really turned me off to Mozilla. Nice browser, but I've found Chrome to be quicker.

Nice add-on, thanks... I hadn't seen that one before.

I'm sitting with 11 tabs open including two stores, battlelog for bf4, a few forums, and some random news sites, and only seeing 472mb of ram use under FireFox v35. Not understanding the big "issue" here people are whining about, given that most modern PC's, barring a bargain bin/very low end machine, have 8gb or more of memory around. I typically max out at around 10-15 tabs that I am actively using, before they just become pointless to leave open productivity-wise. However, it's hardly like RAM is in short supply ;).

And as another test, I tried 35 tabs now with one being a PDF file, and am only hitting 700mb of RAM used by Firefox. So it doesn't even actually end up eating a heaping helping of it once you start piling on the tabs, regardless.

As usual.... FUD-spreading complainers running around spouting nonsense :p.

It's not so much how much RAM Firefox is consuming, as it is how poorly it starts performing at around 2GB+. Get above 2.5GB and a Firefox crash is very likely.
 
Maybe Windows is different, but on Mint, I use Firefox since there's no IE :( and my whole OS running the browser, MP3 player, LibreOffice and a PDF only uses like ~600 MB of RAM. :eek: What are you people doing wrong?
 
So far 35 is eating less RAM and also VRam but I've had it lock up already, non responsive.
34 was always having plug in container issues which became annoying.
 
reminds me of chat roulette

I don't see the video chat being used much. I don't want to talk to you while I'm browsing porn
 
So far the only thing that irritates me about FF is the fact that every single time it updates it reinstalls yahoo search. I deleted that search engine for a damn reason mozilla, I don't care if they are your new buddy.

get the classic theme restorer add on and customize it to look the way you like. With few exceptions, looks like FF has looked for years.

Small? Once you get past 11 or 12 tabs, they don't get smaller...at least mine dont...and at work I probably have 100 tabs open (though they don't load, unless you click on the tab to view it).

Chrome with 4 tabs open is currently using over 600MB on my install... 270MB seems like an improvement to me.
 
I've been using it for quite a while. Chrome seems to get slow/laggy after viewing a lot of images.
 
I have 10 tabs open in chrome but task manager shows 13 instances sucking down over 1GB of RAM.

30 tabs open with FF and using 830MB of RAM.

Chrome has memory hog issues worse then FF.

I have found the longer you leave tabs up the more memory they grab. Just closing down and restarting
fixes the issue on a temporary basis.
 
Adding video chat is supposed to lure people back to FF? Riiight. Thanks but I still prefer to have a separate app for that.
 
[/QDoes this new version re-hire Brendan Eich? No? Then I'll continue to not use Firefox. UOTE]
They were a pain in the ass before the Brendan Eich issue so I quit using their browser and I am not going back to using their browser.
