Download Mozilla Firefox 23

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/08/2013 07:57 AM | source: | 6 comment(s)

Mozilla has published Firefox 22, you can download it over here or wait for the automatic update if you already have Firefox. New in this release is asm.js, a feature that compiles JavaScript to assembly code to significantly speed up JavaScript performance. Especially 3D games like the Epic Citadel demo should benefit greatly from this. Other than that, Firefox 22 also enables WebRTC support by default (for video calls) and introduces a social services manager in the Add-ons menu.

Indeed. Tried chrome and never looked back.

23 should also allow x264 acceleration, (EDIT: Via DXVA2, Vista and later MS OS's.) I'll need to read up on the feature list but for example Youtube now lists it as supported under it's HTML5 beta.

(I'm already on 24b1 though but it's more of a maintenance update from what changes I've read, still a nice update but it could have been a 23.5 or something too, weird release name scheme really but most browsers now seem to use something similar to this.)

Enabled DXVA2 on Windows Vista+ to accelerate H.264 video decoding

Article says 23 in title but story is about 22, then when you click on the download link it goes to 23.

How is the Win8 support ? Previous (moth or two) old version does not work very well with it, but it could be a flash problem... But I did not have to problems with IE.

The only reason why I use FF is because of Greasemonkey + TACS (Tiberium Alliance Combat Simulator).
