Generational garbage collection didn't make it into release? I kept seeing it in the 31.0beta release notes.

Looks like some nice improvements. Interested in this canvas debugger...

Not much to the discussion there except to mention that it was reverted during the beta.

In Firefox 29 I continued to see weird font rendering issues on Windows 8.1. So much so, that I can't use FF on Windows right now. I don't see the same issues with Mavericks. Has anyone else experienced this and does it continue into this version?

Does this fix the 1080p option not showing up on youtube problem?

Is there a bug report for this? I'm curious to see if I can reproduce.

Seems like a modest but welcome release.

The MathML torture test shoes some very nice progress[1] but makes me ask myself once again, why do TeX fonts always look like crap? Isn't that the one thing that TeX should get right? Anyway, at least they look great as rendered by Firefox 31.

I want to use Firefox (OS X), and with almost every release I give it a go but it's simply too slow in comparison to Chrome.

I'm talking about actions you do multiple times an hour - opening a new tab, closing a tab, rearranging tabs etc.

This is with no extensions in use, on a mid-2011 fully specced out macbook air.

It's unfortunate but the lag is clear and I can't use it as my primary when I know a better solution is right in front of me, that being Chrome.
