So what about "Disable Javascript" option to be removed in Firefox 23? Was it? That is a dealbreaker for me.
They should have just renamed it "Break almost every web site" instead.

Go to about:memory then click the "Minimize memory usage" button. P.S. If anyone knows how to add that button to the FF toolbar, I would consider you a minor deity for at least a whole day.
Interesting. What does pressing that button actually do?
If you hover that button with your mouse pointer you can read the following explanation:
Send three "heap-minimize" notifications in a row. Each notification triggers a global garbage collection followed by a cycle collection, and causes the process to reduce memory usage in other ways, e.g. by flushing various caches.

#55It feels like OSX will be on Mavericks before the Lion scroll bars are supported in Firefox. I've been using Safari a lot lately. Only thing I'm not crazy about is the inspector. It's easily the worst of all the browsers, but at least they are fixing that in the next update.
That's interesting - I prefer Safari's web inspector to any other browser... The updates look cool, but currently I find it way more useful than Firefox or Chrome's inspectors.

Just out of curiosity, why Safari?
It blows the other browsers away in scrolling performance on a retina display laptop. Chrome has gotten a lot better recently, but it's still worse enough that it's worth putting up with Safari's weaknesses.

#57The network monitor addition to the developer tools is a welcome change. Now I won't have to switch into chrome for that.
Same here. However, it's still not showing local resources that are not being loaded because the path or the name of the script or stylesheet is wrong.

UI is just way better than anything else out there
UI feels and IS more native than anything else out there
Performance is better than Firefox and only worse than Chrome in beta technologies and a few edge cases

#59For those who upgraded and still see the old scrollbar: despite what Beta Release Note said, Lion-style scrollbar is not in this release due to regression. It will be available in Firefox 24 instead[1]: >The new scrollbars has been disabled on Beta for Firefox 23 due to a serious regression. It is now scheduled to be released in Firefox 24 as long as there are no serious regressions. [1]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org…
What a joke

Well, for savvy users: In the location bar type about:config Search for javascript.enabled You can turn it off there by simply double-clicking the entry.
Yeah, after you click a huge "VOID MY WARRANTY" button. I am surprised they made this change after the recent tor exit node exploit...
