Don't the Mozilla builds also use LTO? That requires 8gb ram from the build machine though, so it's understandable if it's not used by distros :P

How about you start writing with full sentences/words en way... les.... dots.....
That would certainly increase the readability of your posts in general.

What was the DirectDraw default render before the change to OpenGL?

GDI http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys
While looking up the URL I noticed there was a reg. key that I had not seen before: AlwaysOffscreen... sounds fun

Anyway, still using 1.3.24 till I get the time to troubleshoot sound in later versions.

I had some problems with sound in newer versions. If you have an exception for "mmdevapi", try disabling it (disabling the exception).

Firefox is slow. It's slow because it doesn't have the advantage of a new multithreaded architecture like Chrome does (last time I checked).

It's not slow because the people that want it to run on Linux want it to suck balls.

If Bridgman hack my account and try to write here as "Qaridarium" he will fail because he can not write like me LOL

There's a reason I spell your name "Q"

Actually the fix was simpler than that: setting audio hardware acceleration to full instead of emulation

And tracemonkey has always been enabled, afaik.

However, you are correct that often optimizations are first done for Windows, then ported to OSX and Linux when time is available. Sometimes that never happens.

Mozilla had tracemonkey disabled in 64-bit builds on Linux for a long time even though it worked without a problem.

Tracemonkey is not disabled anymore:

It was because "the branches diverged" -Comment 40.
