Mozilla Firefox Browser Stable Version Releases

Yes, I'm seeing that too. I wonder if Firefox processes will eventually be "untrusted" as they are in Chrome?

 

Security vulnerabilities fixed in Firefox 51

Are we expecting 51.0.1?

FF updated on one of my machines but it says 50.1.0 is up to date on this machine.

 

Thanks @JRViejo for the above info. FF 51 running well here.

 

Two of my machines aren't updating past 50.1 for some reason. I have downloaded the installer from JR's link but I'm hoping they update on their own.

 

Ah, that would explain it.

Thanks JR.

 

Did you enable it through about:config or was it available in the UI options?

 

hi
if i want to install 64bit , i'm running 32bit because i guess there is not gain using the 64bit, will i keep the profile?
thanks

 

I believe ( and someone please correct me if I'm wrong ) you can have 32 bit and 64 bit installed at the same time and they will share the profile. The only issue I saw with doing this on Windows 10 was I couldn't find a way to change the default between the two because Windows didn't see them as separate applications.

 

Some time ago i accidentially installed the 32bit-version instead of the 64bit-version and i could see the same extensions, same settings,etc. after starting the 32bit-version.
So the 32bit and 64bit-version are indeed sharing the same profile.

 

hi
thanks
i'm running now but it's very slow compared to 32bit ,did you notice the same 64bit performance ?
thanks

dom.ipc.processCount

I set mine to 16, but you want to set it to whatever number equals the number of tabs you tend to keep open at any one time

 

Interesting, they are going to protect FF against DLL injection. I believe Edge also has this feature, it should make it harder (or impossible) for banking trojans to do any damage.

I find on my laptop that the 64 bit is much slower than 32 bit. Probably because it uses over 550 MB of RAM with 1 tab open. The 32 bit is using about 330.
