I can’t remember what version we introduced it in but we back off timers in pages that aren’t in the foreground. We’re also doing decode-on-draw in newer versions which means that we won’t keep memory around for images that aren’t on pages you aren’t currently showing.

There’s a lot of other things that need to happen, but that’s just a start.

I’ve actually purposefully killed the plugin-container process a few times just to make sure this feature is still working!

]]> Comment on Firefox 5 minor update for Mac coming soon by james page http://blog.mozilla.org/products/2011/07/08/firefox-5-minor-update-for-mac-coming-soon/#comment-360 james page Thu, 21 Jul 2011 18:20:21 +0000 http://blog.mozilla.org/products/?p=74#comment-360 I’m on 10.6.8 and FF 5.0.1. and I’ve had the text on text thing occasionally but overall FF has been well behaved. But recently, and i believe it was after some Apple software updates, FF stopped working completely.
Does someone know if there is a fix coming soon or should i just chuck it and go back to Safari permanently?

I tried to apply for a job and they wanted my information from Linkedin and I could not make it work. On my on line e statement with my bank certain selections are not there as they are on the same page with Safari. I consistantly get
text on top of text…at rawstory.com and other common sites. Its amazing that the authors could put this out with
all the severe problems. This text on top of text was on Firefox 4 too. Even the reporting page on help has distorted text and boxes that are half the size or omitted.
To report problems, I had to google the post address of Firefox and send a postcard with the post. Amazing.

When you deal with multithreaded applications that is not a valid assumption even with video games these days. A game running at 122 FPS might only be updating the game loop at 30hz, and the input loop might not even be queried every game loop tick. The same idea is occurring here. Several frames can go by before an action is registered, but some frame in the next 50 ms will reflect my input.
