Mozilla Firefox Browser Stable Version Releases

The internal updater updated me from v54.0.1 to v55.0.2 ten minutes ago. No problems so far.

 

Yep. 55.0.2 Thanks

 

Wrong it wasn't there hours ago as you said and the release notes updated now because it's officially available now, that's why.

 

I've been checking the ftp server each hour today and it wasn't there one hour before i post the link here, and i never said you were lying.

Edit: I'll pretend i didn't see that comment from Brummelchen.

 

Thank you JR

 

after updating to 55.0.2, i now have to manually delete contents in sandboxie when closing. win764bit,sbie5.20,ff55.0.2 w/ubo(32bit)

 

I got the updates today for my W7 and W10 via the updater from within Firefox, I updated and all seems well, except I found a glitch that affects Sandboxie users. When savings bookmarks out of the sandbox, the bookmark gets saved but the favicons are missing. The workaround, below.

hi
i got the update via internal update too, have you noticed freezing and bookmarks disappearance with 55.0.2 32 bit?
ram:606 MB ,4 tabs opened
and in the preferences i have no performance feature
300mb at cold start , homepage google.com

 

Those numbers seems high to me, cold start ram for me is about 150MB. And with 4 forum tabs open is about 200MB (W10).
Edit: For you to compare, with 4 tabs open, 2 of them videos in YouTube, and watching 1 video for about an hour, my ram is about 410MB.

this concerns all regular (non-ESR) firefox, not only v54.

 

I just hate the future - insofar as changing the browser design is concerned.

Fortunately, you don't have to accept pointless progress for the sake of progress.

 

Well it takes a lot of resources to facilitate tracking, surveillance, intrusion, data retrieval and direct marketing.
Funny when you consider all it takes is about 3 lines of code to retrieve a webpage in a telnet client and all a browser is supposed to do is take that and convert it to a viewable format which shouldn't really take more than a 500kb app.
Web browsers today are nothing more than big fat bloated trojan horses.

Look at this beautiful web browser we made for you out of millions of lines of code

Wow thats awesome, how much is it?

No, you don't have to pay for it, we made it for you as a gift

A gift? For me!! I can hardly believe it thank you so much!! How can I ever repay you?

Oh it will make us happy just to know you installed it to your computer and are useing it for all your online activities... *smirk*.

 

I am not sure if you are complaining about Firefox or not but I tell you, 150MB when starting Firefox is pretty low. I stream live baseball, football games regularly, when I do, I can spend 3 hours straight using Firefox. Today's Firefox in W10 or W7 uses less than 200MB when I am watching games. I used to use my XP for this games, easily RAM was up to 600MB after a little while. Better system? Better Firefox? Whatever the reason why is better now doesn't really matter, what matters is that it is better. Clear cut difference.

64-bit browsers will always use more RAM than the 32-bit versions... because they can.

 

I have it set to 10 processes lol

 

I believe this new option is the same as dom.ipc.ProcessCount in About:Config ( ? )

Just read this:

"Update

Now in Firefox 54, you should have Electrolysis on by default. You should check out the option dom.ipc.processCount and if it is still 1, turn it higher to match the physical core count or if you know you use hyperthreading (most Core i7 and i3 on desktop, most Core i5 and i7 in laptops, AMD Ryzen) it is double that."

https://superuser.com/questions/1029400/how-to-enable-electrolysis-e10s-on-mozilla-firefox-beta

 

Yes. Exactly after changing of the value in the GUI (performance settings), the value of the option dom.ipc.processCount is also changed.
