With a 64-bit OS on 64-bit hardware and a 64-bit version of Firefox, complete with a 64-bit Flash plugin, I consistently see 49 - 50 fps:-X

thanks guys

If I get IE10 64-Bit too work (which Iam working on) I will add that and Palemoon to the benchmarks.

I have edited the first post again to included a qoute from Mr. M.C. Straver (Palemoon's creator) about how benchmarks can only be used as an indicator and should not be used for 'overall performance' due to 'Tight-Loop Testing' etc and some of the tests may be biased or incomplete (which is true), he also explains why 64-Bit browsers will perform worse than 32-bit browsers in benchmarks - its a good read and I kinda see where he is coming from - be interested in hearing others thoughts on his comment's? (see the qoute on the end of the first post)

My thoughts exactly, it doesnt seem to handle flash well at all and frequently crashes

If by "crashing" you mean FF becomes unresponsive when you leave a flash video site then it hasn't crashed. It can take 40-50 seconds to become responsive again but this appears to be because the flash plugin is "securely" deleting some content from the flash temp directory and has control of the main FF thread. IE9 does the same thing but will remain responsive because it wasn't a moron who coded the flash plugin handling.

Been way too many "releases" of FF in the last couple of years, time to stop rolling out more shiny stuff and fix the basics.

Amusingly the latest build of FF seems to address the unresponsive flash module issue. Not well but it is an improvement.

Now if they could just lose the in-built pdf handler which is slower than a slow thing on a slow day and usually reports "this document may not be displayed correctly, would you like to open it in another application" that'd be nice. As would not trying to handle every goddamn extension internally.

Rant over. As always about:config will allow you to turn off the utter lunacy FF devs seem to think is necessary - like why do you think your browser should intercept and route DNS requests via your DNS even when you uncheck the boxes in security tab? Security my backside, tracking and selling user data is more likely IMHO.

About at the end of my tether with FF, only thing keeping me there now is noscript.
