Mozilla Firefox Browser Stable Version Releases

FWIW, Electrolysis is not based on Servo at all. And from what I've read in the past months they are making good progress with e10s.

Having said that, there are plans to add a Servo component in Gecko this year. As is well known, Servo is written in the Rust language of which the 1.0 Beta was just released. The goal of Rust is the

I'm writing this as a reminder that a lot is going on at Mozilla under the surface. One might rightly critisize them for a couple of questionable decisions in the past but Rust and Servo look definitely exciting. They could certainly change the browser landscape. It seems that we will see the first implementations in Gecko before too long.

 

Thomas, this was in regard to earlier post, added (in caps) to understand post when read alone

Mozilla has a hard time to evolve CURRENT Gecko ENGINE into multi-process architecture WITH ELECTROLYSIS, so they start up a parallel programming pilot IN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE RUST FOR THEIR NEXT RENDERING ENGINE IN CALLED Servo, WHICH HAS TO BE USED IN A NOT YET OPERATIONAL BROWSER OF THE FUTURE. The spinless reason WHY MOZILLA DROPPED OOP (E10S) IN FF 3.6 is the fact that the Gecko engine has a Netscape architecture legacy SO IMPLEMENTING E10S IS A FUNDAMENTAL SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE REDESIGN.

 

Did anyone else have problems with upgrading Firefox 37.0.1 ?
Mine was completely screwed. Menus, Bookmarks and Sessions were wrecked.

I had to restore my computer for an easy fix.
I am now back to 36.0.4, but of course, Firefox wants to update again.

 

Well, that didn't last long, the freezes are back for me in the latest version.

 

I haven't noticed any problems either (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).

 

Hi Swex, in some computers, Flash causes Firefox to freeze. I think you are in XP. In XP, as a workaround, you can disable plugin container. To disable plugin container, in about:config, change preference (dom.ipc.plugins.enabled) to False.

Hi Hadron. No problem here after upgrading my XP to 37.0.1. I haven't updated in W7 yet.

As a follow up for the crashes I was having with 37, 37.0.1 seems to have fixed the issue.
-And maybe I spoke too soon. It crashed when I clicked the "Post Reply button"

 

Hey Bo, Yeah, I have experimented with it and decided to leave it enabled as I noticed that some videos fail to load on a few websites, but loads and starts playing fine while this is enabled. But hopefully we won't have to bother with Flash in the future ...

 

Never had firefox 37.0(.1)crashed here.

i disabled flash tho.

 

I just installed the 64 bit 38.0 beta 2. Looks good so far.

 

Updated to firefox 37.01 last night, firefox 37.01 crashed on start-up this morning.

 

They've introduced stability issues since 37.0. None as bad as 37.0, but the 37.0.1 and the 38.0 betas definitely crash. Don't know whether to tolerate it hoping it will be fixed, roll back to 36.0.4 and turn off the updater, or use another browser. I guess I'll decide that over the next couple of days.

 

Thanks. I've been looking at those all along. Seems to be an issue with AMD graphics. It's a laptop or I would change them. 36.0.4 seems to be working fine. Looks like I'm stuck until it gets fixed or I have to give up and use IE.

 

Thanks.

 

No crashes yet here with 37.0 and 37.0.1 on Win7x64.

 

OK.
Lucky for you.

I have since had to repair 3 upgrades.

 

Firefox 37.0.2 is scheduled for release tomorrow.
(mobile version is already out)

This time I will wait a day or two before updating, just in case.

 

Installed 37.0.2. Same crashes as all of the 37.x builds. They're going to lose a user.
