Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Released
Shining Celebi writes "Mozilla has released Firefox 3.6 today, which adds support for Personas, lightweight themes that can be installed without restarting the browser, and adds further performance improvements to the new Tracemonkey Javascript engine. One of the major goals of the release was to improve startup time and general UI responsiveness, especially the Awesomebar. You can read the full set of release notes here."
Call me when you get in the ballpark of Opera & Chrome.
I call it 'The Aristocrats'
They want their old news back.
Having to restart every few hours as the memory footprint creeps up to 1GB in size....I would gladly take improvements in memory leaks over speed increases in javascript rendering.
How do you make a nigger self-destruct? Tell him that basketball was invented by a white man.
from the FrreBSD distribution. As
See my subject-line above, because you may have your MERE opinions on it, but I really don't care for the TONE of your reply directed my way... so, I am going to direct it back to you in my reply, so you can see how it feels... ready? Here we go!
(& who the HECK are you anyhow? Am I in the presence of "computer royalty" or something while you address me? I KNOW not... especially in your case):
"Ahhh....I know I shouldn't slap the fanboy, but I'm bored people, and therefor can't help it." - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @07:58PM (#30854896)
Fanboy's going to "slap back" & while I do it? I'll also HUMILIARTE THE HELL OUT OF YOU @ the SAME time (talk about "efficiency", lol) for the tone & sarcasm you've directed @ me first here... ready? Here comes some more "WHOOP A$$" your way, BOY:

"Opera sucks dude. How does Opera suck, let me count the ways...NO NoScript" - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @07:58PM (#30854896)
Ahem: SO WHAT? I can accomplish THE SAME using a HOSTS file, & block out KNOWN bad sites/servers that house the malscripted pages or adbanners... with ease, & COMPLETE CONTROL on my part of a HOSTS file!
(Whereas, you by way of comparison? Well, YOU have ZERO DIRECT CONTROL with NoScript, OR Adblock... & browser addons? OPERA DOESN'T NEED THEM, it has the same featureset, built in natively, whereas you have to addon addons, & they're KNOWN for eating up CPU cycles + known as MORE THAN POTENTIALLY BUGGY too (ala GreaseMonkey as a single example).
Personally speaking - I'm out to get the VERY BEST POSSIBLE out of my rigs, & that means using the "superior warrior" in webbrowsers for that speed & efficiency (as well as having an often imitated featureset by other browsers, that comes NATIVE to the Opera webbrowser, unlike yourself).
(Sure you want to try to slap ME? Because I'm not done with YOU, yet... far from it. Time to SLAP YOU SILLY, boy... & that part about? It's ONLY for starters. After all, YOU brought in on yourself... lol!)
Hate to tell you this? YOU don't have the level of intelligence it would take to "get the better of me" & I doubt you even possess a degree or anywhere NEAR the level of experience in this art & science that I do (nor the same level of accomplishments either).
Still, this is fun... you have it coming:

"...And NO Mr. Fanboy, that lame ass completely useless disable the entire site and then whitelist don't work. What if I want to allow ONLY one script on a page? Lame." - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @07:58PM (#30854896)
Then, you take your chances... AND? Again, see the above: I can BLOCK OUT KNOWN BAD SITES WITH EASE, & HAVE DIRECT CONTROL OVER IT, via a custom HOSTS file: Pretty simple.
(In other words, I never even SEE bad sites, or nameservers, or even adbanners (good OR bad) via using a custom HOSTS file & I don't eat ANYWHERE NEAR THE CPU that browser addons do either... and, also? WELL, let's see NoScript or AdBlock speed up a user like a HOSTS file can, by "hardcoding in" your favorite websites into it... they can't do that!)
Heck - this is TOO easy ("too, Too, TOO EASY"++ in fact): Again - you're just "not in my league" in this field of endeavor period, and your replies show me this too easily.

"Opera extensions suck. Sorry, but they do." - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @07:58PM (#30854896)
Ah, man, like usual from "The likes of YOU":
Merely YOUR opinion (that of a noob no doubt, because I think that by your puny attempts @ an "Adhominem attack" directed my way, as well as the sheer EASE with which I am countering YOUR "fanboy b.s." too, Too, TOO EASILY? I doubt you are anything more than just another /. wannabe PC
"Ahhhh...I just love to fart in the general direction of lame anon cowards...And the BEST you can come up with is a fricking HOSTS file? HOSTS? BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA." - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @11:25PM (#30856286)
Nope, we got more & per my subject-line above? Boy, did I "SET YOU UP" like a bowling pin, lol... read on (though I KNOW it's difficult for you, evidenced ever FURTHER BELOW in your replies, lol)
WELL - How about Opera's EASILY EDITED & CONTROLLED urlfilter.ini &/or filter.ini too, for added "layered security"?
(Boy, you really don't have it together do you? I suppose THAT may not be your fault, what with your "hairy feet" & all - that's just a sign that MAN IS TRULY DESCENDED FROM APES, lol, & YOU PROVE THAT VIA YOUR "SIMIAN INTELLIGENCE", lol!)
HOWEVER, to those reading? PLEASE, read on: It ONLY GETS BETTER, lol...
----
SO, tell us, How do THESE words of yours, taste, after what I put up above AND below next?
("Inquiring minds, want to know" lol, & please: NO mere SIMIAN level 10 below plantlife IQ level trollish ones like yours, please... those NEED NOT APPLY, thank you!)
"What were my words? what did I say about Opera? Lame hacks I do believe?" - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @11:25PM (#30856286)
Sorry, that's BUILT IN to Opera in those filters... by the by? FF/MOZILLA products have their own too iirc. NoScript & AdBlock need not REALLY apply either... especially if a layered security technique that's PROVEN SUPERIOR (especially to Adblock) exists in HOSTS files alongside urlfilter.ini & filter.ini in OPERA, & in FF's own native blocking lists too (iirc correctly on THIS note @ least, as regards MOZILLA/FF product lines @ least).
So, once more... answer my question above, ok, wannabe PC expert? Because once more: INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!
(Thanks - for the LARGE laughs @ least, & your being SO EASY ("too, Too, TOO EASY"++ in fact) to setup like a BOWLING PIN on your end, only to be KNOCKED THE HELL DOWN (for your starting up trolling me no less here, first).

"So your el smello browser has to have a fricking HACK HOSTS file just to do what FF does, and on top of that?" - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @11:25PM (#30856286)
SIMIAN (that's your new name here lol): Please - read the above, & EAT THOSE WORDS... "too, Too, TOO EASY"++, once more!

"Lame as hell!" - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @11:25PM (#30856286)
LOL, I don't think so (no, I KNOW SO) but, on YOUR part... please, read the above!

"can decide you which sites can come and go with a simple right click? can you decide that if a site has ads you do NOT want, along with content you do, to simply filter with a simple click? No? How sad..." - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @11:25PM (#30856286)
I don't see ANY ads, I'm NOT THAT DUMB (or dollar foolish): I pay for my linetime, I want ALL OF THE SPEED I CAN GET FROM IT, because I pay for it... pretty simple!
SO, "that all said & aside"? Well... "Yea, right" in regards to ALL of what you've stated thusfar (& having to "downmod me" in EFFETE RETALIATION TOO, on your part no doubt, the SURE SIGN of the "defeated troll" IS that very thing mind you)... how sad on YOUR part rather: SO, answer the question I just asked above!
Tell us, please - HOW DO YOUR WORDS TASTE?
(I mean, aside from myself having to "interpret your simian grunts" lol, well... answer that question please, and in HUMAN english, ok? I know that KOKO the Gorilla's probably your mom, but... like I said - that much ISN'T YOUR FAULT - that's just heredity & genetics!)
LMAO!

"And your big selling point
"Not that it matters since we are talking web browsers and it is pretty much common knowledge that Opera runs on less resources, because it don't have diddly dick for extensions or addons or...well anything else worth having" - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @11:25PM (#30856286)
Oh, do you mean things like SECURITY VULNERABILITIES in those ADDONS & that make FireFox EAT even MORE CPU?
ALSO, for more "icing on the 'cake of your own words you must now eat' (so it TASTES BETTER than ones coming from your swearing mouth)?
WELL - Is that why the FF team is considering dropping addons??
See here: http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=10/01/10/1529234

Please, I know that your intelligence is SHOCKINGLY LIMITED (lol, especially on this reply from you, lol -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1519698&cid=30856394 which I KNOCKED YOU THE HELL OUT ON (easily, I might add)?
Please - FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, "SIMIAN THE TROLL" : Try not to use SWEARING (use of the Lord's name in vain etc.) - it only makes you look WEAKER than you already on (just on a personal note here).

"you had to go for the "My ePeen is bigger than yours" BS. Damn that's funny." - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @11:25PM (#30856286)
Try to minimize it, but... that's typical "TROLLERY" (you obviously have ZERO on that account is why you try it, but, lol... no dice pal).
I know, I know - facts & proofs are BEYOND YOUR "KEN" & reckoning... again though, that MAY NOT BE YOUR FAULT (what w/ your hairy feet & "fine genetic lineage" per your Mom, KOKO THE GORILLA, lol).
Now, I can't help it if "Mine's BIGGER THAN YOURS"... again, that's just the benefits of BETTER GENETICS is all (not just physically either, lol!)

"You DO know what they say about compensation, right?" - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @11:25PM (#30856286)
No, but I know what they say about those of you "less well endowed", & it's called VIAGRA (lol, or extensions etc. et al, lol, kind of like FF extensions, lmao!)

"Lacking a little something downstairs are we?" - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 21, @11:25PM (#30856286)
LMAO, actually NO... but, you sure are "LACKING SOMETHING UPSTAIRS" lol, based on your "fine trolling performance" here already on that note (see the URL above readers)
MAN - lol, I mean hey: ALL YOU NEED MAN, is AN ORGAN GRINDER @ THIS POINT... you've already demonstrated SIMIAN LIKE levels of intelligence, lmao, based on your others replies here thusfar, after all!

Not bad, BUT, I omitted a REALLY COOL PART in my list earlier (a TRUE SSD, not based on FLASH crap & how I use it? Absolutely WAILS, read on, & especially for BETTER PERFORMANCE), so, thanks for bringing this up once more (I just KNEW you would: Touch on the "sensibilities" of those who CANNOT CREATE in this art & science? They RUN FOR THEIR HARDWARE, everytime (predictable, like MOST simian lifeforms are, lol):
