07/08 out.

Now compiled with autovectorization, as suggested by artooro.
I have not had the time to test how it performs. So please post feedback! :D


By the way, this bug is partially fixed:
298677 - Vertical scrollbar draws over toolbar and tabs when location or search bar has focus during scrolling

weerez. No changes to the unresponsive keyboard shortcuts problem yet.
Neither have I found a pattern to reproduce it. It strikes just random...
The bug (299514) is yet to be confirmed or assigned to a developer. I'm really not sure what else I can do.

The scrollbar painting issue is partly fixed. Meaning the extra scrollbar on the left side dont show up anymore, but the page still jump uncontrolled in certain situations. The bug (298677) is still open to track that.

the address bar not updating itself when a new page loads seems to be back again... anyone else have this problem?

and dragging of webpages into bookmarks doesn't work again.

after 20 minutes of use, it definitely seems faster though

Both WorkForMe. Have you tried with a fresh, new profile?

======================
I'm not sure about this one, and it happens a bit randomly.
Open the DomInspector [**], and drill down a few nodes in the left pane. Move the DomI window. A number of times the movement was very jerky, with sudden jumps.

[**] the DomInspector window is the only window that I ever move around in Firefox, possibly the problem could happen with other windows as well.

Annoying bug? I would say it's rather indespensible to be able to use the browser.

Bug has been marked as fixed. That was fast.

(by removing a patch for an other bug).

I agree that its an indispensable feature in a web browser, but I also say its annoying when it dont work.

Hold on...

It was a regression from the patch for this bug, which have been backed out now:
