Help Testing OpenGL on Trunk Nighty Builds
October 4th, 2010 by cbookHi,
As of last week we have turned on OpenGL for Mac Trunk Nightly Builds.
We are very interested in your Feedback on current Mac Trunk Builds especially in Feedback about:
-> Plugins – any problems when scrolling? Switching tabs? Performance problems?
-> Performance in general. Is your Mac Nightly Trunk Build significantly faster on certain pages? Significantly slower? How’s scrolling speed?
-> Do you notice any drawing problems on any sites? If so, which Sites?
If you want to find out if issues are related to OpenGL or not, you can disable OpenGL when you set the about:config preference:
layers.accelerate-all
to false. (Or simply uncheck “[ ] Use hardware acceleration when available” under Preferences -> Advanced ->)
Also, if you have filed already Bugs for Problems since we turned on OpenGL on Mac Trunk Nightly Builds, could you tell us the Bug Numbers?
Your Feedback help us to make Firefox better and is very valuable also for the Firefox 4 Beta Cycles! Also when you are interested, please join our Nightly-Tester List!
Thanks!
- Tomcat

What happened to the drop-down menu for the back and forward buttons???
DX
The way it’s set up on Firefox is spectacular. The way it is set up on Minefield is lousy. Holding down the mouse button is a pain, especially if you use a laptop like I do. I mean, really, I don’t think I’ve seen a drop-down menu where you’ve got to continuously hold down the left mouse button since like 1995. On the crummy hippie-macs.

Enabling OpenGL (aka “hardware acceleration…”) bugs drop down boxes for me. By which i mean the drop down now, i can see maybe a 5x5pixels of the top left of what the drop down should display, however the rest is hidden.

When OpenGL is activated (hardware acceleration turned on), the settings window flickers when changing size, like from General to Tabs.
When OpenGL is turned off, it resizes just fine.

When OpenGL is activated (hardware acceleration turned on) and I open in my browser some video link, when I move with the scroll I get a white spot on the right side from the top menu to play the video. When hardware acceleration is turned off, this problem this problem disappears.

Hi Minefield does not display the above site correctly. It is fine with Firefox 3.6.13, Chrome, Opera and IE 6, 7, and 8, etc etc but not Minefield. A gap of about half an inch has appeared between the menu and the page contents. Ho idea why?

WebGL In 4.0b12 is okay.

Superbar Integration in Windows 7 SP1
Hey guys, in case any dev is actually reading this, my question is thet what happened with the superbar integration (i belive its called like that)?
When i have more pages open and move the mouse to the superbar/taskbar it suppose to be shows alll the pages in the small coming up windows and it was like this until the earli 4.0b13 but the newer ones and the 4.2a1 doesent actually support this.
It is a nice feature so it would be nice to get it back.
