I have 3 Windows x64 machines:
- i7 6600u | 16GB RAM | Intel HD 520 | Nvidia 940MX
- i7 7700HQ | 16GB RAM | Nvidia 1060 (integrated Intel GPU disabled in BIOS)
- i7 9850H | 32GB RAM | Intel UHD 630 | Nvidia Quadro T2000
Firefox 115 running flawlessly on all of them. No issues, fast and smooth. Same as previous versions.
Can someone explain the Intel h264 decoding thing?
I’ve had h264 decode on GPU working with VAAPI since forever. This seems to be telling me about a feature I already had years ago?
Been enjoying Edge for a year, but always appreciated FF for it being it’s own thing. Worth a shot?
Definitely. Check out our switching guide for some tips.
I genuinely think the web has become horrible enough where the browser you use does not really matter from the technical perspective.
It does, however, incredibly important to have more than 1 engine competing, as currently Firefox is the only mainstream browser not built on chromium/google.
Certainly. It’s really important to have as many people as possible using a different browser engine (Gecko) in this Chromium-dominated world.
And … uBlock Origin works the best on Firefox (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox).I use edge at work (nothing else available), Firefox everywhere else.
It would be nice if more add-ons were supported on mobile, desktop is great.
Firefox was great, went to shit for a couple of years, and is now back to being great again. I’ve heard it’s much easier on memory as well.
It’s one of the few non-chromium browsers left, so you should definitely try it because Google is trying to make their own standards with chromium.
It’s literally the only non-chromium browser left other than Safari. That’s why it is critically important that Firefox maintain a presence
i have a feeling there is something horribly wrong with 115.
firefox has been lagging and using too much ram. 114 was the best patch in history but now its back to the same old struggling firefox. or worse.
If you want to find the bug, you can run a mozregression to find what broke it (using 114 as your last known good release and 115 as your bad release).
Please reach out if you need help with this.
You can use your profile to test this pretty easily.
edit: culprit found: dashlane extension for firefox causing latency and high use of resources… dashlane claims they are waiting on mozilla to review their patch submitted 3 weeks ago:
I am not seeing any patch submitted to Mozilla by Dashlane on this bug which looks like it is at an investigation phase, is that in a separate bug?
