Firefox 18.0.1

Firefox 18.0.1 is out, just updated via internal update. It's not showing up yet on the Mozilla site, so no change log as of yet.

 

I knew I should have waited LOL!

 

couple of nice changes in there:

faster javascripts and disabling of insecure contents on HTTPS

 

Thanks Ron!

I hear that! LOL....we have to remember the .1 updates come out 10 days after the base release. Curse this rapid release schedule..lol

 

I just couldn't wait 10 whole days LOL!

 

Thanks for the heads up! Cheers.

 

Cyberfox is already out of date LOL and Waterfox 18 has yet to be released!

 

I don't think there are any real security issues that got patched, so them being out of date isn't a big deal. The Cyberfox forum was already mentioning that this was due before it came out, so the dev will probably get to it soon. Waterfox, eh, I think people are going to get tired of waiting around for it to catch up eventually and move on. Just my opinion.

 

Waterfox was always a bit slow to update. I don't run it any more.

 

Actually, there is a new version of Waterfox (18.0) currently being tested, I noticed it on the Waterfox forum. It's not official yet, though, but already obsolete in the scheme of things. It's a pity Mr Alex has issues compiling his builds, I liked Waterfox a lot when I used it.

 

You're welcome..

Could have sworn that already came with 18.0?

 

It did. It looks like they found something wrong there though and fixed it up.

 

The release notes list changes for V18.0 and 18.01. Look at it properly and you'll see 3 changes listed on top specifically states "18.0.1". Just compare the 2..

I think Firefox 18 has problems in terms of GPU acceleration. I find Firefox 17 to be faster than Firefox 18 as far as GPU acceleration is concerned.

 

Thanks for that heads up. Gives me some incentive to rush this update unlike usual, when I let them come to me and/or just wait until patch Tue. to update everything on my box in one fell swoop.

 

Cyberfox 18.0.1 is now out in the wild!

 

Thanks. I wondered what the changelog was. They seemed to push this one to the updater pretty quickly.

 

Waterfox 18.0.1 now out and available for download!
