6/12/2023 0 Comments Firefox esr 24.2.0![]() Most of you are familiar with Chrome's use of a process per (sometimes several) tabs, although Internet Explorer 8 actually pioneered this approach some months before. ![]() The newest technical concern is Mozilla's renewed push towards Electrolysis, or multi-process Firefox. You'll also get to see our new Mavericks-inspired Apple swipe, as is my custom. Assuming no obvious issues, 24.2.0 becomes live Monday night Pacific time as usual and we will wave good-bye to TenFourFox 17. This will be the first official release of 24 to the general public, so let's make it a good one. This includes the performance tweaks I discussed ( issues 253 and 254) release notes and downloads available at the usual places. I'll have some time over the holidays to deal with this since I'll be between terms in my Master's degree program. After that, my thinking is to jump to either 28 or 29, since if Australis doesn't gel, there's no point in expending additional effort. However, I am pretty certain 26 will work. 26 is still in pieces and there will probably not be an unstable release, just a set of changesets for the perverse interested. ![]() ![]() The overwhelming consensus is that, although there is some trepidation ( and well-deserved, apparently) over Australis, it's the future of Firefox like it or not, and if it's technically possible people would rather continue to evolve and try to maintain source parity rather than fork. Thanks to everyone who commented on our last post about targets for the next "major release" of TenFourFox. ![]()
