I suspect it's as it reads. This blog appears to be about a browser codebase/product. I'm guessing a report that "it hangs on Facebook.com".

#5I didn't even know people are working on this kind of stuff.. and on a lot of other fronts too, Apple is losing its edge by not having the newer form factors like 2 in 1s and detachables. so much potential there.. but it's really not their bread and butter any more..

The sentence is saying that there was a bug in a previous version of TenFourFox that caused the browser to hang when browsing to Facebook, and they speculate that they have fixed the bug in this release.

For people who are frustrated about Apple's software quality (the OP seems to be one of them), that would only make matters worse because additional form factors = even more bugs.

#9Good for you, still millions of users will by apple products because they are simple to use out of box. People here are only thinking about their power user experience forgetting that most users don't give a damn about that and are whining that apple forget about "pro" users.
Apple never was design for being pro. Also argument about cost is silly. Apple products cost almost the same as high-end computers are Samsung flagship phones. Don't forget about high price of Microsoft products... World is about money and that will never change and voice of pro users will never be heard as they don't make that much money on you.
To emphasize, I'm not an Apple fanboy.

#10Sorry, but anyone who writes this sort of thing cannot be considered representative of any meaningfully-large consumer group (emphasis mine): “I bought the Talos II because I wanted something non-x86 without lurking proprietary obscenities like the Intel Management Engine (or even AMD's Platform Secure Processor) that was nevertheless powerful enough to match those chips in power, and the only thing practical and even close to it is modern Power ISA.”
