Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Well, I'm a total newb when it comes to this kind of thing, so don't mind the noobish question: is it reasonable to expect a speed increase and better response overall with the full version? I know all of you guys are talking about better performance in the final product, but I'm just wondering how much can we really expect, considering the rich set of features and the fact that we get a whole little app catalogue built into the browser with the add-ons? It would be incredibly awesome to have a smooth ride when the real thing comes.

It was mentioned here that some pages that don't load as they should in Micro B work well in Firefox - well, as a big Blizzard fan I was kind of disappointed that their main website doesn't display properly in Micro B (the main section of the site - done in Flash - doesn't load) - I'm happy to report that it works well in FF and that the face of the big SC2 marine greets you in all its.... erm, splendor? :)

Blizzard.com loads fine for me in microb, took a few seconds to render the marine. Flame effects on the diablo 3 page etc all fine.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

You're right! Didn't load the first time I used it (and I did wait a while), but now it does. Well, ignore the last paragraph of my previous post then :)

Thanks for the correction.

Too slow, reverting to microB

Does turning the disk cache off help anyone with speed in RC1?

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Sadly, I didn't notice any speed increase after turning it off. It still has trouble panning pages smoothly most of the time, the sidebars (for tabs and /favs/back/forward) are sluggish, and the general performance seems quite low.

And, yea, it seems like most of the performance hit occurs during page loading, so I'm surprised that the abovementioned "solution" doesn't work (at least for me) as it is supposed to address that issue.

It does help, at least in the N810
