Please give these builds extra testing. The changes for synchronous XMLHttpRequests are big and scary, but needed to improve web compatibility, so we'd really like to include those changes in Firefox 3.1 Beta 3. These builds include fixes for the most obvious regressions from those changes.

Windows builds: Windows nightly (discussion)

Mac builds: Mac nightly

Linux builds: Linux nightly

    Quick tests showed that sync. XMLHttpRequest seem to be running as expected. :-) Nevertheless, they are highly discouraged for a number of reasons…

    On the other hand, I’m experiencing serious layout issues with JIT enabled for a while: apparently, missing elements during complex DOM manipulations. :-( Is anyone aware of such an issue? Links to pages and/or bug reports would be appreciated. ;-) I haven’t been able to reduce a test case yet, although more information is available [1] (including steps to reproduce, although the samples are based in a widget library). Sorry if this sounds a bit off-topic but, as Firefox 3.1 is reaching beta 3, I fear that this may become the source of a lot of frustration if not properly isolated in time for the final release…

    Best regards,

    I’d say that SMIL animation in SVG [1] should also deserve some credit. :-)
    To try it out, one just needs to set ‘svg.smil.enabled’ to ‘true’ in ‘about:config’ and may go for some bug hunt — several SVG+SMIL samples are available [2]. ;-)
    One should be aware that there are several known limitations in the implementation [3], reason why this will not be made the default, at least for now.

    Cheers,
    Helder

    @Jesse

    How come my previous comment (“March 12th, 2009 at 2:48 am”) states “Your comment is awaiting moderation. ” but there’s 30+ spam messages here? ;-)

    I’d say that a (re)captcha [1] is in need here… :-)
