Firefox Eventually Getting Direct2D Rendering

[codefuapprentice]

this would actually be quite nice for netbook usage, i'm not totally worried about my PII 955 as there's plenty of horsepower there, but for much weaker CPU/GPU Combinations this would really be appreciated for offloading that.
No matter what i try, Flash video playback on my netbook, especially when watching a youtube video in firefox 3.6.3 is still stuttery which kinda puts me off

[citation][nom]Rab1d-BDGR[/nom]Sigh... Right-click on the firefox shortcut, go to "properties", in the "target" box add /Prefetch:1 outside the quotes of the firefox.exe path. That way firefox will be prefetched - this is the essentially the same cheat IE8 uses to *appear* to load so quickly. The only difference is that IE8's bloat is hidden by default using such cheats.[/citation]
Sorry, but that Prefetch cheat just doesn't work. (That article was written with XP in mind, but I suppose it would be the same on any version of Windows after XP, too.)

Finally... I wanted D2D support for so long.

Except for the flames part, something like this did actually occur during the early Mozilla Phoenix development project. It had to do with someone installing the then RC release and NOT using the default installation directory. The installation ended up wiping out one's entire drive.

Caveat Emptor
