Firefox 7

w00t!

 

Sweet, thanks for the info

 

Thanks for the info!

 

I'm excited because of the process separation.
UI one process, Web Content another process, Extensions an additional process.
Not quite Chrome-like, but it'll do.

 

Great news, eagerly awaiting it.

 

Is that coming in 7?

 

so adding all those processes....will be less memory consumption?

 

It was slated for 7, yes. Where they are with it now, I'm not getting good info on. We'll find out in two days, if nothing else.

 

I really can't see how. No one else has managed it without higher RAM usage. Though, hopefully with the memory improvements, it won't get out of hand.

 

I'm experiencing 7beta6, have to say it's really good. The RAM usage has really been decreased. Looking forward to the final release.

 

I think maybe I put the cart before the horse on process separation.
It must've been an old wiki article I read stating FF 7. I got overly excited.
Currently it looks like testing is being done in FF 8 Nightly's.
Maybe ready for FF 9 or sometime after it debuts in December. (Rumor)

 

Sounds good, I just hope I don't lose many extensions this time.

 

With your luck, probably will Nah, you should be okay Dave, so long as you're not using any too obscure or with too few users. Any add-on developer that cares, has had ample time to prepare for 7.

Great link, now I know what to expect. Thanks.

 

I had posted this same link a while ago in the Aurora/beta channel thread

In any case, process separation is not going to be that easy at least for desktop Fx. I think they've made more progress with the mobile version since that is being built from the ground up with process separation in mind.

In the case of desktop Fx, it's somewhat like retro-fitting and not at all easy. I think the code name for the project is "Electrolysis".

 

Looking forward to version 7.

 

Here's the final version

I am fed up of the new builds .Every time 2 or 3 addons are incompatible.What do these new builds do to break the addons? I mean my cookie manger is now incompatible.Has the cookie folder changed in version 7? .Im sure they will be updated eventually ,but its getting a chore with firefox.I wish I had a new browser to like.I like to keep things up to date ,but i do wonder why i bother sometimes

 

Try add on compatibility reporter and force the addons to work
Just updated to the new version and all my addons are working

 

Ive just installed compatability reporter
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
but i cant see how it can force the addons to work?.It justs seems to report to somewhere whether the addons are working or not?

 

Downloaded and installed Version 7 Final
thanks MajorGeek!!

 

After restarting 1 time when the addon is installed u have to restart second time..all the addons will be working...it doesnt report whether the addons are working , we can report whether the addons are working or not

 

Thanks hayc59!

How is it running?

 

So far so good..not glitches...but time will tell
and your very welcome
did not know you were @ BBR also...howdy
