MinGW Target on TaskCluster

2017-10-08 Thread Tom Ritter
As part of our work with Tor, we’ve been working on getting a MinGW-based build of Windows into TaskCluster. Tor is currently using ESR releases, and every ESR they have to go through a large amount of work to get the build working under MinGW again; by continually building (and testing) that build

Greetings, I have been deCOMtaminating nsIAtom over the past two months: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1392883. A big step that landed over a week ago was the devirtualization of nsIAtom, which means it is no longer a subclass of nsISupports: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.c

Intent to ship: Retained Display Lists

2017-10-08 Thread Matt Woodrow
Hello all, We're planning on landing the code for retaining display lists in 58, behind the pref layout.display.list.retain. This is a rather large reworking of how we paint, and was designed to address telemetry results [1] showing that display list building was consuming considerable amo

Re: Changes to tab min-width

If you introduced the setting, I think it would increase it up to 150px to be able to see more tab title. Particularly when I have a lot of tabs from the same site open, it could help. At this moment I have 45 tabs open in Firefox, and 25 in Firefox Developer edition. Tabs start scrolling for

Re: Changes to tab min-width

2017-10-08 Thread vmarty89
In my opinion, the important thing is that this is not about disabling scrolling behaviour altogether. This will not affect users with <10 tabs, it will possibly help Chrome users with 10-20 tabs, and it will destroy both use cases for users with >20 tabs because the tabs will be unreadable AND

Re: Intent to ship: Throttling timeouts in background using execution budget.

2017-10-08 Thread Andreas Farre
Hi! I forgot to mention this issue, thank you for bringing it up. Background throttling is disabled whenever something that is considered real time, like audio, or could potentially time out, like web sockets, is present on he page, including iframes. To both prove to myself that these mechanisms

Hi, just a (power?) user input here, my subjective POV. In fact I was a little frightened when that min-width changed in Nightly. I liked very much the old behaviour, to see only a fraction of opened tabs (I'm nearly always in the overflow territory anyway), disliked Chrome for that "compressio
