But not quickly enough to prevent the automated test suites from passing. Speaking of HTTP/3 in Firefox: I've had it permanently disabled because the early releases would leak about 10 GB of memory per minute and lock up the browser very quickly. But they will work with external displays! If you have a laptop with one of those hybrid Intel+NVIDIA GPU combinations, then HDR games don't work at all with the built-in display, they all report HDR support as N/A. Then it worked again after a few weeks when it updated.īut it might not be Firefox's fault, because Windows also seems to randomly turn color management off, or force it back to sRGB silently. Speaking of color: Firefox for a while just. Why? Because Microsoft employees test using Azure VMs, which. Windows Server 2022 can't activate its license unless it uses the UTC time zone. We're back to 8-bit RGB arrays in sRGB only as the only option. As in, Microsoft literally removed a wide swath of floating-point color support along with the wide-gamut scRGB color space. The Win UI SDK regressed from WPF and lost all wide-gamut or HDR support at the API level (which probably explains the above). It kinda-sorta works for some things, sometimes, but most apps that used to work with HDR back in Windows 10 just can't any more and are forced to use SDR with sRGB gamut only. Windows 11 almost but not entirely broke HDR. I just got a new laptop, and the amount of things that get shipped totally broken is just crazy. Do you go horse-riding, witt the laptop on your knees? LOL.I've spent the last 3 days angrily submitting bug ticket after bug ticket, including one for Firefox. Read you later, I dare not say cowboy (in a positive sens of course). So much to discover and see, and that Wild West ain’t the last in the row, Sir! Nice rising day in the Wild West, I can only imagine it, there.
We’ere just aiming to build a ferrari out of a Ford, LOL :=) So, yes, as you say, Firefox can be fine tuned without going through a myriad of extra fine tunings.
With Autoconfig as well as with Group Policies (via Win7’s Registry), with userstyles and userscripts … it’s become Superfirefox (it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a browser? No, it’s Superfirefox!). Personally I have tweaked Firefox, hum… tremendously. Like a motor engine, you have to consider interactions! It’s a question of balance : too much modifications, especially when unaware of a setting’s implications for itself and tied to others harm can do too little can leave a valid one perpetuating things we dislike. I basically agree on the fact that manipulating about:config settings can overdo one’s aim of privacy & security when the basics are in the browser’s options. Allen, interesting topic, initiated by the article and slightly emanipating itself from its genitor :=)
