Firefox 47 Arrives With Synced Tabs Sidebar, Better YouTube Playback

[DEAD7]

Mozilla today launched Firefox 47 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. The browser has gained a sidebar for synced tabs from other devices, improvements to YouTube playback and HTML5 support, and is seeing the end of support for Android Gingerbread. [If you're logged in with your Firefox Account, the sidebar will show all your open tabs from your smartphone and other computers. The sidebar even lets you search for specific tabs. Next, Firefox 47 supports the open source VP9 video codec on machines with powerful multiprocessors. VP9 is the successor to VP8, both of which fall under Google's WebM project of freeing web codecs from royalty constraints.]

one of the reasons i switched to chrome a while back was because firefox was trying to do too much
haven't used it in a while but it still seems cluttered and slower than chrome

chrome has been kind of fishy lately, i won't lie

but when chrome first came out, it blew firefox out of the water, at least from what I experienced

i might have to give firefox another shot for a week or two

Firefox still memory leaking?

still on that 3.6

Yeah I used to fuk with FF but the leak and the overall slowness of it made me switch to Chrome. Is it worth going back now?

Yes.

Question for yall though, how do you experience a memory leak?
I can say FF has always been slow for me, yet I use lots of plugins so I have an excuse. But I've never had it just gobble up memory like that unless I have a lot of tabs open and flash running on every tab. Which isn't FF's fault, rather adobe for making such a shyt plugin.

Chrome uses crazy ram per tab too.

I used to love me some FF but then the memory was just nuts, when it got real bad i'd have to close FF get into task manager and kill lingering FF instances. I just swapped to Chrome but now the lag in chrome is palpable too. Might have to try FF again
