Could you try a qt build? (--enable-default-toolkit=cairo-qt)

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

Eeenteresting. Are the JIT engines interchangeable? Can v12 be built with the older, faster JIT?

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

Even if version 12 has slower javascript due to JIT disabled, is it faster starting? does it feels smoother when opening multiple windows?

The main problem of Firefox is it's extremely high memory consumption.

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

Thanks for rekindling interest in Firefox. I love the v6 posted on the forum, it really is fast but after installing I find it opens in the multiple tab mode and does not auto-rotate. What could be wrong?

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

I tried installing this via "dpkg -i fennec blah blah" but I get errors about missing packages.

Code:

 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of fennec:

 fennec depends on libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.24.0); however:

  Package libatk1.0-0 is not installed.

 fennec depends on libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2:2.12.9-0osso1); however:

  Package libgtk2.0-0 is not installed.

 fennec depends on libhildonfm2 (>= 1:2.28+0m5); however:

  Package libhildonfm2 is not installed.

 fennec depends on libhildonmime0 (>= 2.1.5); however:

  Package libhildonmime0 is not installed.

 fennec depends on liblocation0; however:

  Package liblocation0 is not installed.

 fennec depends on libosso-gnomevfs2-0; however:

  Package libosso-gnomevfs2-0 is not installed.

 fennec depends on libosso1 (>= 2.23); however:

  Package libosso1 is not installed.

 fennec depends on libpango1.0-0; however:

  Package libpango1.0-0 is not installed.

 fennec depends on libxt6; however:

  Package libxt6 is not installed.

Is there a simple way to install these? A quick "apt-get install" of a few didn't work.

Didn't work, no installation candidate for most of the missing packages.

Have you got the usual repos enabled? You need to have 'em enabled for this to work.

No, wasn't mentioned anywhere in this thread.

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

I have been using Iceweasel (not Firefox) for some time. Although slow, I find it indispensable, in that it allows me to use some translation plugins that ironically do not work on Firefox. My question is that I got the Iceweasel through installing Easy Debian, but have been using it as a stand-alone app. Do I need to use it under Debian? What would be the difference?
