r3dfox-122.0.1.en-US.win64 (v122.0.1-2) J - 102.000 M - 793 S - 153

[vadimlitvinenko87]

Motion Mark tested much lower perf. JetStream bit lower. Not good tendention.

Can you see if this has the same performance regression?

https://github.com/Alex313031/Mercury/releases/

I followed their performance changes for my browser and enabled cross thinLTO. I'll also publish a build with normal LTO and see what happens.

[K4sum1]

Made a new build

Closing since this should be done

[vadimlitvinenko87]

Motion mark performance los not patched, but jetstream good score, looks like need solve problem with motion mark too to close issue.

[vadimlitvinenko87]

I am not pushing just want to help.

[K4sum1]

Oh you said looks equal to old which I assumed meant 122 and didn't check. Not sure what would've caused this. Can you check Mercury on 10 to see if it's any different.

Also check about:support on both and tell me what is compositing pls.

[vadimlitvinenko87]

Mercury release on Win10? Or redfox 123?

[K4sum1]

Mercury release on Win10? Or redfox 123?

Yeah both Mercury 122 and 123 on 10. Also try r3dfox 122 and 123 on 10 too since that may show something too.

[vadimlitvinenko87]

Ok, will check

Windows7 x64 browsers in BrowserBench.org tests аfter issue closed.

[K4sum1]

Pushed a new build, let me know if it's improved.

[vadimlitvinenko87]

Beta v123.0.2-3 x64 WebRender fix W7 - MotionMark 749 points.pdf Beta v123.0.2-3 x64 WebRender fix W7 -JetStream 105.000.pdf Performance in motion mark much better, looks like problem solved. Thanks for work. P.s. Speedometer3.0 (third test) updated on BrowserBench.org and Beta.v123.0.2-3.x64.WebRender.fix shows 9.5 points now (for example CentBrowser v118 made same 9 points)

[K4sum1]

Maybe somewhat related, but I was testing on HD 4600 and 123 seems to drop MotionMark score a substantial amount with hardware acceleration.

When I found out that there is a new version of Firefox for windows 7, I was happy. R3dfox is fast to open and responsive, but I noticed that the scrolling of long pages is not as smooth as in Firefox 113.0.2 (64-bit) and it is noticeable.

I also did a test of another version https://github.com/adeii/supermium-portable/releases/download/F1235/Firefox-portable-126.0b2-win32.7z

and it is the same. Well, and now I'm saddened, because it follows that it can't be fixed. That it is simply the fault of changes to Firefox itself.

[K4sum1]

Maybe could be tweaked with about:config. Can I see a video of what it looks like?

[J4CKED]

I recorded the video, but as I see youtube will probably not display it in 60 fps. Firefox from 0 to 13 seconds, and then r3dfox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnMcQD5SlIM

Anyway, when scrolling through pages where there are a lot of elements (gif images) the page does not scroll as smoothly as in the old firefox. This is especially annoying when reading text and scrolling slowly.

[K4sum1]

I can't really see it. Can you check stock 115 and see how it is? Also try older r3dfox versions too.

[J4CKED]

Version 115.10.0esr (64-bit) is very smooth. I downloaded it from PortableApps.com because I prefer portable versions. Old versions of r3dfox is not smooth.

[K4sum1]

So even earliest 121 has the same problem?

[J4CKED]

I tested this version. I don't see an earlier one. https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/releases/download/122.0.1-beta/firefox-122.0.1.en-US.win64.installer.exe

[K4sum1]

Just made a new release with a bunch of test builds, see if it still happens as far down as 117.

[J4CKED]

Appreciate strongly. I first downloaded and installed firefox version-117.0.2

At first when I scrolled the test page it was visible lag. But after a while it disappeared and the page started scrolling very smoothly. I was very surprised.

After a while I opened the latest version (already configured for myself) r3dfox-125.0.2 and here also the page scrolled smoothly.

In addition, I don't know what happened, but in this version 125.0.2 the minimize, maximize and close buttons disappeared, although they were still normally visible in the morning. To fix this, I had to change the windows style to a different one. However, in Firefox 115.10.0 the buttons are visible in any windows style.

At this point r3dfox is running smoothly. If there are any changes I will let you know.

[K4sum1]

Fixed itself, idk weird. I assume fine now idk.
