About OMTP: Strangely I've seen more white, unrendered areas with it enabled than without. Don't know if that's expected or not.

I've seen that too, but only when I scroll upward on some websites.

[Lurtz]

Upward sounds right. Do you know if there's a ticket? I only have anecdotical evidence, nothing to reproduce...

I've seen old OMTP bugs on the matter but none on the new version of it.

EDIT: I've also caught an awesome Gecko Profile with super long event processing delays.

Webrender is getting better everyday. I'm on then latest inbound and besides the white screen when starting Fx most sites work nicely. Wikipedia on the other hand has some jerkiness when scrolling as I'm sure other sites do too.

What's the RAM usage like? Last time I tried it, it was very heavy on RAM.

I just wish mozilla fixes the bug with deleting history from urlbar....
Going to CTRL+H to delete certain history is too problematic....

I think that was the bug where it wasn't evicting the memory at all. It just stacked until a crash happened.

Latest hourly m-c win32 build has changed something in the tab-strip. Have not investigated deeply yet but the tabs are shrinking down to a very small horizontal size putting 25 tabs on the strip 'without' a scroll. This change will hit today's Nightly.

EDIT: looks like its probably bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404465
Add browser.tabs.tabMinWidth to control minimum tab width, and set to 50 by default (looks like from the patch the original min was 100)

Pref to control width in about:config browser.tabs.tabMinWidth

Looks like more 'Chromification' to me...

I now have 26 tabs open and the 'Active' tab only shows the Favicon and the close button. Way too narrow, I suspect there will be lots of negative feedback on this one.

[Lurtz]

That's horrible. One of the reasons Chrome can never be my main browser is the unusable tab strip.

I really hope they keep this optional or I don't know what I'll do.

Edit: After reading the ticket it mostly sounds like a migration option for Chrome users (and maybe the new standard setting), but keeping the option alive, probably even in about:preferences.

Mozilla should implement multirow tab bar, simple and elegant solution.

[Lurtz]

From the ticket:
I believe UX thinks that tab scrolling is a pretty confusing UI affordance, and that if we can avoid it, we should.



What's more confusing about a scroll option than having tiny tabs where only icons can be read? This isn't even the case on mobile, there I'm getting a full tab overview in Chrome no matter how many tabs are open.

Nice find, that was pretty ugly. I'm glad it was easy to revert at least.
