Firefox testing - offscreen surfaces and OMTC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Folks,

I'd use some testing for new Firefox feature - offscreen surfaces [1]. It may also fix crashes when OMTC is enabled [2]. Browser should be a bit faster with those features on.

How to test?

- Install Firefox 40 on Fedora 22,23,Rawhide (you'd need Gtk3 build)
- go to about:config, click to any key and add a new one, boolean type. The new key name is "layers.use-image-offscreen-surfaces" and set it to true. - enable "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled" which may be disabled now.
- restart your browser.

And you're set now. Please report any oddity (different than the usual ones :)) at #BZ.

Thanks!
ma.
