Firefox 61 Arrives With Better Search, Tab Warming, and Accessibility Tools Inspector (venturebeat.com)
On Tuesday, Mozilla released Firefox 61, the newest version of its web browser for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android platforms. The release builds on Firefox Quantum, which the company calls "by far the biggest update since Firefox 1.0 in 2004." VentureBeat: Version 61 brings TLS 1.3, the ability to add custom search engines to the location bar, tab warming, retained display lists, WebExtension tab management, and the Accessibility Tools Inspector. Mozilla doesn't break out the exact numbers for Firefox, though the company does say "half a billion people around the world" use the browser. In other words, it's a major platform that web developers have to consider.
I mean the power supply is already just barely handling what has to do.
I am guessing this means "preloading tabs"? Ugh. Just stop already.
My personal test case will be with the UniFi 5.7/5.8 Controller web interface page. I've found consistently under the last few versions of Firefox that, while it's fine for at least an hour, if I leave it up constantly for ease of monitoring then after a day or two the Firefox process inevitably ends up pegging an entire core. There is no video whatsoever or any particularly fancy graphical usage, and while they may be doing something odd internally (I haven't had time to really dig into it) I'm not sure Firefox should end up in that state there over time. It's relatively easily repeatable though (will take a day but requires no interaction on my part) so I look forward to testing it. Although if it does resolve the problem I'll be mildly bummed whatever fix it was didn't make it into ESR, but so it goes.
So what have they removed/broken this time, and what have they added/broken that we need to turn off (like pocket)...?
Tut tut tut... I believe you mean the AWESOMEBAR.
that is what *I* want to know...
Seeing SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG on 40% of the pages I try to use today. Opps.
Anyone who needs 52ESR will be out of luck soon as its the last patch cycle. Those with Windows XP, XUL and NPAPI requirements are affected. Also Chrome is discontinuing Marvericks support, which also throws perfectly working Macs into the trash. Don’t give me the “it’s old” spiel, Mavericks is less than 5 years old.
"... the company does say "half a billion people around the world" use the browser. In other words, it's a major platform that web developers have to consider...."
Web developers will more than likely consider browsers that have significant (i.e., > 15-20%) market share, not one that is hyped up by its developers.
C'mon, how about some better Dev tools please?
If my years in the Canadian Army taught me anything, it's that tab warming leads to tab fires.
Think of the poor tabs, you filthy Americans!
-- Tigger warning: This post may contain tiggers! --
I like my browser meek and docile, not aggressively second-guessing me and doing all sorts of crap "just in case". It already does too much!
How about a way to stop all javascript when the tab isn't active? Or a way to block javascript by domain, instead of having to rely on an adblocker? Opera has had that last one for ages.
Just watch it from the web server log for what FireFox actually sends when you send a JQuery post request that goes past the 5 minute mark... you cannot see this from the networking tab in your browser, but wireshark will also grab it for you. So.. not suitable for all web use
In other words, it's a major platform that web developers have to consider.
Hear that folks? The article says Firefox isn't a 3rd-class netizen anymore. Party's over: No more testing on just Chrome!
Ever since Nov, 2017 when they broke the extensions, their market share has gone down each month. They are currently at only 5.27%. They are irrelevant.
FF uses 2GB of RAM on my 4GB machine. it's a hog. Thunderbird is second.
"Tab Warming" sounds like a great, well thought out feature! Yay!
Not necessarily.
Do you want the rendering of the current page to slow down because you flicked the mouse out of view, which happened to be over a tab?
Do you want the machine and network to slow to a crawl because you dragged the pointer across a great many tabs on the way to the one you wanted, and they all start rendering?
Do you want even higher memory/CPU use for a product that's already considered seriously bloated?
Dear all:
Tired of google changing the browser, moving the interface around and breaking things Every 6 Weeks?
Tired of microsoft changing the browser, moving the interface around and breaking things Every 6 Weeks?
Tired of using safari and not having support of big boy tools, like iLO, IPIMI and the web consoles of Orocle and SAP?
Welcome to the wonderful world of Firefox ESR.
Current ESR (60) will be supported for about a year, with no new features or UI changes, only security patches and bug fixes. It has the full power of Quantum (which means more or less performance parity with the other browsers).
The version released today is 60.1, which means that ESR 60 has been in the wild for a couple of months now, allowing time to iron any rough edges, and includes a Fix for tab_selected so it works when headerURL is not set (uplifted to 60)...
Also, since the "Great breakage" of PlugIns and Add-ons happened in FireFox 53, chances are most of your plug-ins and extensions already have been ported (or have suitable equivalents).
As we speak, I am downloading it, and will install it over ESR 52, after I delete as much as possible of all the NPAPI Plug-ins that litter my Computer (Citrix, saba-meeting, WebEx, iLO, Huawei IPIMI, etc).
ESR Is the best balance for people who use the Browser as a Tool to "get things done", and not as an entertainment/media consumption.
*** Suerte a todos y Feliz dia!
For me, when I open a page, in a new tab or the same one, I open it because I intend to look at the page. I *want* my browser to get a page ready to view when I open it.
Where I may not want it loaded right away is when I re-open my browser and have many tabs open from an earlier session. That's a niche where a well thought-out new UI feature would be good, though - pages I intend to use this week, but not right now. Bookmarks feel more permanent than that use case; I use bookmarks for things I plan to return to months later. Tabs aren't really the right choice, either, though - having many pages loaded that I'm not going to miss today is wasteful.
Bookmarks / favorites require a few more clicks than tabs. Tabs are "right click, open in new tab" to start, "close tab" to end, a total of three clicks. Bookmarks add many additional clicks - "open in new table, bookmark this page,select the folder, close the page", then "open bookmarks, find the right bookmark folder", then afterwards, navigating bookmarks again, and removing the bookmark, then closing the tab.
I'd like to "right click - add to read later", two clicks. Then right-click on the close button to "close and remove from read later".
Does the upgrade give you an advantage in agar.io? If not then skip it.

Firefox Tab Warming explained:
https://www.ghacks.net/2018/01...
From TFA:
Firefox 61 for desktop brings an improved search experience by letting you more easily add custom search engines to the location bar. Mozilla offered a helpful example: “Imagine searching an actor’s name; now with Firefox you can automatically search through IMDB in the location bar.”
Sorry, the Location Bar (thank you for not perpetuating the "Awesome Bar" myth) is for URLs not searching. Stop trying to "improve" my "search experience" within the fucking browser. Browsers are for browsing, search engines are for searching.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
From TFA:
There’s also a small update to extensions built using the WebExtension API. WebExtensions can now hide tabs and manage the behavior of the browser when a tab is opened or closed.
And how do I disable it? Seriously, why would we want the browser to do stuff like this? Just what I need, more seemingly random things happening that I can't see and/or presumably control ...
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
the ability to add custom search engines to the location bar
I've been doing that for years now. Did Mozilla forget about their own feature, one of the features that keeps me on Firefox, I might add?
Use trve Norwegian Vivaldi, instead of shady Chinese Opera.
Why is Firefox so slow to render and pan/zoom an SVG image? We have a custom SVG base map and Firefox is significantly slower than all other browsers. So much so that it's unusable and I can no longer recommend the browser to my users. *sigh*
Down votes by people that don't test and don't care
Tabs are "right click, open in new tab" to start, "close tab" to end, a total of three clicks.
You can bring that number down to two. Middle click (clicking with the wheel) a link and it will open in a new tab.
What the hell is this bullshit? It looks like spam and is really hard to read. Who posts this shit?
I am belittling APK's work. It's just not that useful. Hosts files are a blacklist solution while it would be much better to use a whitelist approach. That's especially true if used in isolation, as you seem to do.
Now that this garbage has been modded down, expect APK to repost it. For browser security, a whitelist tool like Noscript or uMatrix is a much better choice.
What, no testimonials for the Linux version that you're shitposting about? It must suck, otherwise someone would have posted something remotely positive after all the spamming you've been doing, and you'd retentlessly repeat their statement.
Sure doesn't look like stalking to me. If you don't like being criticized for spamming, don't post spam.
Who will APK blame the criticism on this time? Khyber? Zontar The Mindless? Coren22? Ol Olsoc? Brockmire? Whipslash?
Your program provides a false sense of security and you vastly overstate its capabilities. There are plenty of better choices for security.
BIG PROBLEM w/ whitelists = counterfeit libs/dlls 'slip thru' 'em easily (either in new models used in e;g; OLE marshalling by progs or dopplegangers of existing ones) - THIS IS A HUGE "HOLE" IN WHITELISTING THAT BLOWS IT AWAY & RIGHT THRU IT!
(Especially w/ say, fakes of runtime libs since in Windows they do NOT all run from %WinDir%\system32 BUT also from inside application's OWN folders (which takes precedence & thus EASY WAY to create this problem)).

Ok, so pretty dumb feature if you use keyboard to switch?
Using keyboard is faster, so I imagine most power users use it.
The lack of this feature has kept me on FF 52. If this feature was not added, then I would stop upgrading FF forever (consequences: bad).
The essential features lost in the 52 -> 53 transition are slowly reappearing. It's just possible that enough have been restored now to consider moving to the latest version.
It's been an ugly time. With luck, FF isn't actually dying, no matter how hard the developers try to piss us all off in every release.

FYI: A post request that lingers a long time before the server replies is how some sites implement "push" to the browser. The connection is sitting there idle until the server has a notification to send, then it completes the connection with the data, and the client side code opens a new connection to the server (possibly sending a payload in reply to the server), then waits for more data. the technique is called COMET (and is a bit better than the AJAX polling Web2.0 technique). However, we now have all sorts of silly crap in browsers to do push (though graceful degradation is becoming a pipe dream).
IMO, the sooner we destroy the entire bubble-gum and duct-tape internet and remake it like a phoenix rising from the distributed mesh wireless ashes the better off (and deduplicated) we'll be.
Known as "quotemining" in the trade.

P.S.=> Outsmarting & outthinking you 10 below plantlife IQ unidentifiable anonymous stalkers of mine? Cake - make me feel as if I am battling WHITE MICE, lol... apk
The feature implies they are/will be aggressively unloading resources in unfocused tabs. So enjoy finding that spot in an infinitely loading page when you switch away for more than a moment or the JS-based sites where the URL never changes. Good luck getting back to where you left off.
I hate the modern web as well as well as the constant worsening of software programs.
Question: Who I quote didn't say they like/use my work or it's good? This is known as dusting ya hosts v whitelists https://news.slashdot.org/comm...
I PISSED YA (fake name 4 ur fake lie of a so-called life of a LOON you live https://it.slashdot.org/commen... ) & YOURS (UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous STALKERS of myself) OFF in that link (behavior patterns' same & PREDICTABLE):
I posted it I ate dinner & after saw your typical defeated by APK indicators:
#1 - DOWNMOD "HIDE" APK'S PARENT POST hiding others below it
#2 - DO UNIDENTIFIABLE AC POSTS to "forums slide" BURY LOSING
(Useless - MOST browse BELOW +1 default "downmoderation threshold" u do SOCKPUPPET ACCOUNTS for modpoints to downmod me BLOWING U AWAY & THEY SEE YOU LOSE vs. me ANYHOW!
So obvious others see your method (weak like you) - SO easily seen thru & your FAV COLOR = "transparent".
APK
P.S.=> It's why you use FAKE NAMES 4 FAKE LIES of "so-called WASTED loser 'lives'" + UNIDENTIFIABLE ac STALKER posts
Funny how APK replies to every other post but conveniently ignores the quote of BronsCon telling APK not to use his username in testimonials.
It's not MY fault you can't read ILLITERATE stalker of mine by anonymous posts & I shit on you here hosts v whitelists https://news.slashdot.org/comm... rather EASILY (as always vs. mere "ne'er-do-wells" like you that CAN'T create things folks like & use + compliment ME (not you, never, lol) on GOOD WORK on too ala https://news.slashdot.org/comm... lol @ U, dolt)
* You WISH you were me (& judging by ALL THE TIMES both I & others see you IMPERSONATING me too? That is a FACT!)
APK
P.S.=> Seeing you STALK ME by UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous posts also GIVES AWAY you FEAR ME (why do it otherwise?) & also shows your POOR LOW "character" in that you don't STAND BEHIND YOUR WORDS like the slimy SLINKING rodent you prove yourself to be vs. me, constantly - RoTfLmAo - TRUER WORDS were NEVER SPOKEN on /. ... apk
Proof of "your kind" & your mental deficiency = ME destroying you EASILY potato-brain on hosts vs. whitelists https://news.slashdot.org/comm... & that's the TRUTH of you ALONG with you FEARING to face me behind your REAL NAME (or even your FAKE NAME for your FAKE LIE of a "so-called WASTED 'life'" hahaha in 1 of your MANY sockpuppet guises you use (& I know many of you DO with proof (see Zontar reply I did, lol)).
* By the way - ANYONE w/ EYES can see you DOLTS attack me ONLY TO FAIL (hence you HIDING behind UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous posts you STALK ME with too).
APK
P.S.=> TO win vs. you morons? Heck - I don't even HAVE TO TRY - why? YOU DEFEAT YOURSELVES for me RoTfLmAo (see link above as proof thereof)... apk
He says my work's GOOD period (nothing YOU or "your kind" the "not-men" INFERIOR deficient ones can do about it) "I've never tried to belittle (APK's work), I've flat out said it's good" - by BronsCon (927697) on Thursday February 11, 2016
ESPECIALLY as you SHOW EVERYONE YOU FEAR ME - why?
Well, proof's You HIDE behind UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous posts STALKING ME due to butthurt of me CONSTANTLY & EASILY annihilating you wannabes as I did today on hosts vs. whitelists https://news.slashdot.org/comm... as usual for me!
APK
P.S.=> FUNNY PART: I ate dinner as that link TOTALLED your bs (limited range WEAK know-how in computing you UNIDENTIFIABLE ac trolls have) & you did what ALWAYS BETRAYS you KNOW YOU LOST TO ME again in downmod "hiding" my PARENT post so it hid that + TONS of your UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous posts to TRY to "forums slide" BURY that defeat of yours (@ my hands as usual easily, of course, hahahaha)... apk
You have NONE: U post unidentifiable ac STALKING me & talk integrity? LMAO! U get ANNIHILATED by me hosts vs. whitelists https://news.slashdot.org/comm... & EASILY, lol!

YET YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO SHOW YOU'VE EVER DONE? LMAO - that makes YOU a BLOWHARD ingrate windbag - nothing more!
There's hugely known & used COMMERCIALLY SOLD CODE w/ my NAME on it out there dumbass (& tons of time more of my work's in publications in computing GALORE too), lol - how about you?
You're no peer of mine ESPECIALLY when you PROVE you FEAR ME since you won't STAND BEHIND YOUR WORDS & STALK ME by UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous posts!
Attack your character? You have LOW character (see subject).
(Then when I DUST YOUR DOORS out as in the link above you are SO PREDICTABLE your fav color = TRANSPARENT, you downmod HIDE my parent post vs. your defeat (or so you think, most see it browing beneath the easily sockpuppets you use cheated 'downmoderation system' here & see you LOSE (you know it too, hence your UNIDENTIFIABLE ac posts)).
APK
P.S.-=> Then you do a FLURRY of your posts to TRY (& fail in) HIDE IT MORE via "forums sliding" post burial - in vain OTHERS SEE YOU GET NUKED by me as most browse below the "downmoderation system" your type cheats by SOCKPUPPETS (everyone knows /. for it) - but I thank you for MAKING ME LOOK GOOD & yourself like shit you are (hiding & you KNOW it, lol)... apk

Obviously U FEAR me hiding by UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous you HARASS me w/ FAILING hosts vs. whitelist https://news.slashdot.org/comm...
You STALK ME by UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous & LOSE vs. me EVERYTIME (see link above).
What GIVES AWAY you know you lost? 2 things:

I'd actually prefer your posts get modded up instead of down, especially your more vicious personal attacks. I'd like to see them at least at +1. That way, they'll show up when Google and other search engines index Slashdot. I want your posts to he visible to search engines. I hope that whenever someone searches for your hosts file software or looks up your name, they see lots of results of you making vicious attacks. I hope the visibility of your personal attacks is actually increased so that anyone who searches for you or your software immediately sees just how much of an asshole you are and how much you lack integrity. I hope your posts get modded up so that more people see how you conduct yourself. I hope your vicious personal attacks define your character for anyone who isn't already aware of your vile behavior. I may start modding up your most vicious personal attacks right before those discussions get archived. That way, your behavior will be more visible to search engines and your comments here will define your reputation whenever anyone searches for you or your software. I hope your own words destroy what little reputation you have left.

Maybe it's a little weird, but I can't be the only guy who gets turned on when you make posts like this. Your personal attacks are HOT and I get really turned on reading them. I even tried your suggestion about injecting soy milk and, wow, it's been amazing. I would just love for you to call me a soyboy. And I totally get turned on when you post about the anonymous unidentifiable "ne'er-do-wells" and how jealous they are. And when you say others are stalking you, wow, the thought of other guys stalking you just makes me jealous and I get even more turned on. I can only imagine that you're just as buff as when you played lacrosse and that you must be one hunk. I'm getting wound up even by writing this post. No matter what others may say, I'm totally you're admirer. I've seen you tell others to post their name, phone number, and address. I'll totally do that if you promise to go on a date with me. I want you to be my boyfriend.

Do you want the rendering of the current page to slow down because you flicked the mouse out of view, which happened to be over a tab?
If you're spending so much time rendering the page that this is an issue then the web designer should have their testicles removed for the good of humanity.
Do you want the machine and network to slow to a crawl because you dragged the pointer across a great many tabs on the way to the one you wanted, and they all start rendering?
There is a difference between pre-fetching and pre-rendering.
Do you want even higher memory/CPU use for a product that's already considered seriously bloated?
Define higher CPU usage. Just because I do an activity earlier than planned doesn't mean I do more of it.
Exactly. These silly acceleration features are exactly what cause responsiveness issues, not solve them. Every good UI programmer is supposed to know this.
What an absolute daft reply. UI responsiveness issues come up when a lot of activities queue at the same time. Starting some of them earlier and delaying others is one of the main ways to improve this responsiveness and has been part of the speed improvements from everything like UI design, background service management, kernel schedules, and even CPU design itself.

Jay Little the "self-proclaimed 'EXCHANGE EXPERT'" HAD TO CONCEDE IT from MICROSOFT'S OWN DOCUMENTATION proving it FOR me there (where they as usual stalked me AS YOU ARE NOW AS YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THOSE IDIOTS TOO ) & they can't "ban me" ANYMORE than I can be "banned" here on /. - as nothing stops ME, but me!
I just left their site after a VERY BRIEF visit in 2001 (finding they are UNDEREDUCATED DO-NOTHING LAZY WANNABE "Fake it Till you Make It" types - shams & "ne'er-do-wells" just like YOU).

P.S.=> It's GOT to suck to be a miserable worthless unaccomplished WRETCH like you - has to - as I see you STALK/HARASS me constantly I know you KNOW you're crap & hate seeing others like me DO WELL as I did in my hobby ware even that /.ers like & use that is NOW multiplatform on Linux + BSD & FASTER/BETTER & ALL THE VERIFIABLE SUPPORT I NEED vs. SHIT like you https://news.slashdot.org/comm... vs. the Win32/64 model even: MY DEEDS SELF SUPPORT ME & I don't NEED sockpuppets YOU USE https://slashdot.org/comments.... loser - you TRY 'drag me down' to your PERSONAL do-NOTHING zero "ne'er-do-well" level & FIND YOU CAN'T - I'm TOO STRONG vs. whimps like you (things I do prove it while you WALLOW in self-hatred, envious of myself or folks LIKE me you loser)... apk

P.S.=> NOTHING against you homos. I never understood you till I lived in Atlanta Ga. "San Fran of the South" 1995-2000 & asked (after stumbling into little 5 points off PeachTree where our offices were & I'd take chicks to mine (was great) off the strip, lol) fags in a gaybar (didn't KNOW it was that & thought "hey this is AOK by APK" when guys bought me drinks left & right BUT then as time got later & they dimmed the lights & GUYS JUMPED ON THE BAR ripping their clothes off & kissing one another + worse RIGHT there? I asked this "professor looking" dude w/ a Peter Sellers trenchcoat & pipe "Man, is THIS a gaybar & ARE YOU GAY HITTING ON ME?" He said "yes, what did you think?" & I told him having been there less than 1 yr. + coming from a town w/ NO gaybars @ all (til I returned 1/2 decade++ later that is NOW there is) & he told me so + even the BOUNCER was gay so I get loaded in disbelief I ended up in 1 & asked fags by me "Excuse me guys but I gotta know - WTF do you SEE in another man's HAIRY ASS?" & the bartender starting laffing trying to hide it hand over mouth & said "That CAN get you KILLED around here" & I said to them all "No, I just REALLY want to know is all, tell me" & the gays said "You like women & were BORN that way, right?" so yea, I said "That's right" & they said "Same here except we like guys" so I said to myself "It's just how they are from the get-go, perhaps a genetic aberration accident of fetal development is all & NOT their 'fault'" etc. - I have NOTHING against it between 2 consenting adults who are HOW they are ONLY if it's FORCED on others (& not put on kids) & I'm no "fagbasher" (hitting gays = possible suicide, you make 'em BLEED & cut your hand doing it = AIDS imo) + gays I know SAY I.M. SAFE (I let them know even AFTER they HIT on me putting their hand on my ass once but I don't get violent - they understand ONCE you tell them "not my cup of tea/wrong door boy" & that happened w/ a MARRIED GAY COUPLE of men up here (one was bitch got all PISSY saying "That BITCH does this all the time" & I just laughed (& took off FAST,lol)) - & there ya go... apk

I don't think they "get it" OR ARE SATANISTS (they believe in starting shit in life the way I'm getting it OR WORSE in murderous rituals for "more power in hell" & they BELIEVE the KING OF LIARS who HATES them as God's children in humanity - they are GETTING PLAYED as useful idiots like Hitler used the BROWNSHIT SA & killed them later after he didn't NEED them & NOBODY is better than FAUST & he lost to the "I WANNABE GOD" Demon Satan too (too many centuries of weaving his web of lies & an evil wisdom NO MAN can beat so STAY AWAY from him "Capt.

Arstechnica? Heh: Ask Jeremy Reimer &/or Jay Little if theirs ISP/BSP's, hosting providers, and yes, the police were summoned when they too were "frustrated" into looking stupid, like yourself here, and they:
---
1.) Made threats on my life (Jay Little, whom CrystalTech.com removed his website for it)
2.) Impersonated me (Jeremy Reimer on HIS own forums, & also at arstechnica - parts of his website were removed)
3.) Email harassed me (Jeremy Reimer, & his ISP Shaw.ca put him on a tracking ticket & he ceased it)
4.) Stalked me online (Jay Little did this & got himself banned @ NTCompatible.com for it)
---
and more? Why?? Because I:
1.) Asked them if ANY of them ever did anything that was well-noted in publications (as I have many times) in the art & science of computing (an ENTIRE FORUMS of them, not a single one had - I thought it was funny, because they like to "play computer expert" like Jeremy Reimer especially, & yet, not a single one of them then even had a CSC degree, or even CIS degree... not even MCSE certs) - that, clearly, got to their "geek angst" & the truth that not a SINGLE ONE OF THEM was really any form of "computer guru", period.
2.) I made them look foolish @ Windows IT Pro, where Jay Little & Jeremy Reimer stalked me to (after I asked via email that Reimer remove a post on his forums that said it was I, when it was not (Reimer later had to PUBLICLY ADMIT it wasn't me, once his ISP got ahold of him alongside his website hosting provider)).
E.G.-> The fat fool, Jay Little, literally said he was, verbatim, an "expert on Exchange (MS)", & when I showed evidence from Microsoft on how memory optimization programs could un-halt stalled Exchange servers? Jay Little ran & started stalking me, site to site & making death threats from his own personal websites that I should be put to death, & more etc.

You know, that would make a great name for a browser.
If you mouse-over a tab and it starts rendering something that's not even visible, that requires system resources and can slow down the whole system. That is NOT queuing things in a reasonable way, especially if garbage collection kicks in, yo.
If you mouse-over a tab and it starts rendering something that's not even visible, that requires system resources and can slow down the whole system.
Or the correct way of looking at it: you use idle system resource to reduce load on the system when the actual event takes place. You're right, it's not queueing. It's prediction. You don't like prediction buy yourself a 486 and run DOS. Prediction to speed up operations has been a mainstay of computer in all forms, and directly against your complaint: was also parts of project butter and other changes to UIs that improved their responsiveness.
Pre-rendering a page when you move a mouse cursor over a tab isn't prediction, it's reaction.
Using so-called "idle" resources to render a page in the background takes time away from the browser UI. In this situation, the most likely outcome is that there will be a slight pause if you actually do click on the tab after mousing over it (and Firefox has had TONS of problems with random pauses over the last decade, especially with regards to garbage collection). I perfectly understand what you're saying, as I've studied CPU design, but despite all the hype and promises, these techniques never actually result in a net benefit in the real world. Hardware people get caches and prediction. From what I've seen, software people don't.
UIs were responsive in the days of Win2K and arguably XP, but that all went to hell when people started using all this turbo superprefetch nonsense, and used that as an excuse to justify tons of new bloat. Take a look at Win10. It does preventive maintenance all day long using "idle time" and it's slow as a dog and completely unpredictable, even if you have an SSD. The same has been happening to Linux for a while (at least with the distros I've tried).
When they actually make UIs more responsive, then I'll be impressed. Mozilla has been crooning about both speed and responsiveness for a decade... and I haven't seen it. Nobody else has, either, which is exactly why they've lost so much market share.
Pre-rendering a page when you move a mouse cursor over a tab isn't prediction, it's reaction.
Oh really? And if I don't click? Did it just react to something I didn't want to? That's kind of the textbook definition of prediction, doing something anticipating the following action.
If you can't even understand the base principle how can we have a discussion on it.
Using so-called "idle" resources to render a page in the background takes time away from the browser UI
What a stupid thing to say. Take time away from a UI that literally is about to take time to do something, all the while almost certainly consuming little to no resources.
the most likely outcome is that there will be a slight pause
The most likely outcome is you wont notice shit other than the tab will appear to be faster.
and Firefox has had TONS of problems with random pauses over the last decade
Yeah, and have done a lot of improvements in the last decade too leading to the latest iteration to be among the fastest releases to date. Excuse me for giving the developers who have proven themselves a little rope.
these techniques never actually result in a net benefit in the real world
I agree, except for all the places where they have. As said this has been a basis of many projects that have actively improved UI responsiveness. You claim otherwise, and you're wrong.
UIs were responsive in the days of Win2K and arguably XP, but that all went to hell when people started using all this turbo superprefetch nonsense
I get it now. This comment combined with the bit where you've studied CPU design ... you have no idea how software works. That's the only conclusion that someone can make given you think superprefetch has anything remotely to do with the UI.
Take a look at Win10. It does preventive maintenance all day long using "idle time" and it's slow as a dog and completely unpredictable
Yeah, except for the bit where it's faster than all previous versions of windows down to 7 as measured by both synthetic and workload benchmarks.
The same has been happening to Linux for a while
Yeah I agree. The new kernel schedulers and advances in X have made Linux faster and snappier too! (Yes I know I'm playing with your sentences)
When they actually make UIs more responsive, then I'll be impressed
No you won't, quite evidently. Car analogy time. You're claiming that a V8 engine with 400bhp is no more powerful than a shittly little 4cyl with 200bhp simply because your only frame of reference is a small hatchback vs a 3-tonne utility vehicle. You complain that the utility vehicle doesn't accelerate completely ignoring you have a different car.
You want to feel some speed, how about you disable all window animations and then see how fast notepad.exe appears. That seems to be your frame of reference completely ignoring the massively more complex software and functions you are attempting to do now over the Win2k days.
Mozilla has been crooning about both speed and responsiveness for a decade... and I haven't seen it.
Observation bias. They most definitely haven't been. A decade ago Mozilla was talking about speed exclusively in terms of javascript performance. 6 years ago there was no talk of speed at all but a focus entirely on memory footprint, 5 years ago the talk was exclusively on sandboxing, security and the plugin architecture. A part of that was UI responsiveness changes with Australis and the UI took a nice jump up in speed then which a lot of people then instantly shit on with a laundry list of plugins because they didn't like the look. Even firefox quantum didn't talk about the UI focused exclusively on page rendering.
Nobody
