TenFourFox

[jruschme]

Any idea why the Collusion extension doesn't work correctly? More specifically, it works but all the bubbles are pushed off to the left side of the screen. It's almost as if there is a coordinate translation issue (screen origin in center vs. side).

Looks okay to me, but I don't have many bubbles in the window, so perhaps it's an issue with the number of them?

[jruschme]

Odd, I only have two on my MDD, but they both have gravity toward the upper left corner. (As opposed to my MacBook with Firefox 10 where they gravitate toward the center of the screen.

Could this be some video card difference? My MDD has a Radeon 9000 pro.

No, that wouldn't change anything because all rendering in TenFourFox is in software. On my G5, the bubbles are centered. So I don't know what to tell you. Screenshot, just for yuks?

[ClassicHasClass]

Never mind, I can reproduce this on the iMac. We might have a G4 vs G5 issue (they use different code in JavaScript). Did it do this in 10.0.1?

[jruschme]

I don't know... I didn't install the extension until yesterday.

JR

P.S. IT seems to effect the G3, too, as I see the problem on my Pismo.

[ClassicHasClass]

They use the same code. If you can test it with 10.0.1 to make sure it does fix it on your system, I would appreciate it.

I did and it does. With 10.0.1, it looks just like it should.

Thanks, that tells me it's either in the new branching code or in the sqrt library. Since branching would probably cause other errors, sqrt is the likely suspect. I appreciate the detective work. Filed as issue 134.

The first release of our unstable branch (Fx11) is now available, along with another round of "things you didn't know about the G5": http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2012/03/ ... rting.html

[ClassicHasClass]

Please try 17.0a2. Yes, we're up to what will become the next stable release and ESR, guaranteeing at least bug and security fixes from Mozilla for awhile even if we don't make it to the next ESR. Help us stomp the bugs out. http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2012/09/ ... lable.html

17.0 beta and a new QuickTime enabler! You can grab them both off the blog: http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/

[insaneboy]

just saw this... I should cruise other parts of the forum more often installed 10.0.10 in my mini G4

1929ms on the java test. safari comes up at 5449 awesome!

[ClassicHasClass]

17 final is just around the corner. I just made a last minute fix for a performance regression on multiprocessor Macs.

[ClassicHasClass]

Aaaaand ... it's out. Enjoy.

[mac2geezer]

A dramatic improvement in 17.0 from 10.0.11 in Sunspider on the G4 Powerbook.....1761 vs 2094, ie,8.4%. Not so dramatic on the G5...795 vs 818 (G5 Quad).

Very nice work!

Failed to transfer to gcc 4.6.3 -- one of the libraries it builds doesn't seem to work right with Tiger dyld. Can you succeed where I have failed? http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/issues/detail?id=52

Running 17.0.2 on a couple iBook G4s. Very snappy, and much faster than safari!! Thanks foor all your hard work!!

ten four fox saves the day!

my mom's spa has switched to new appointment booking software. Previously we had a mac based server/client system, unfortunately new features were slow in coming and online booking/gift certificates were poorly set up and glitchy(among other issues). The new one is web based and works great...

However, after we get it up and running she finds, oops, requires firefox. Fine for the front desk computer and for her office computer. Not great for the appointment desk computer of employee computer(so employees can check their schedules and clock in/clock out) those are G5 and G4 imacs, no firefox(3.6 is incompatible). So I tried ten four fox, it works with the site! YAY!

[ClassicHasClass]

Excellent!

Didn't know where else to put this.

I saw this thread last week, didn't have a clue was TenFourFox was until I had a quick read. Downloaded the G3 version for my Pismo and was just blown away with the browser. Then during the week upgraded my Pismo to a G4 550mhz, so swapped to the version matching my CPU and wow..Just WOW! Thank you so much for developing this. You made my Pismo actually SURF the internet and not chug along in a way that is almost painful to watch.

It just goes to show what I always suspected, if something is coded right. You dont need a quad core, 5gig, rocket powered system to visit Facebook..Regardless of what Apple might tell you. A G4 550Mhz or even a G3 400mhz can still do the job very reasonably

haemogoblin: Indeed. I believe that's why forums like this exist.

They exist for people who don't want to put up with forced obsolescence (I think?), among many other things.

Thank you!

But I think the biggest thing is that Mozilla recognizes their performance chugs on low-spec devices. Now that they're focusing heavily on mobile, these efficiency improvements are getting into the core browser as well. 19 is already a lot faster than 17, and we're busily whacking bugs out of 20. By the time 24ESR comes out, I bet it'll be sleeker still.

I remember trying Minimo and Fennec.They were made because of the 32MB limit on Windows Mobile.
