Mozilla Agrees, Update Your Graphics Drivers

[ikaruga]

Anything newer than the NV-197.45 driver, and I get no signal on the S-VHS port on my Gigabyte 9800GT-OC. So this is a no-go for me

That's why Apple was vehemently opposed and binned it

I've never had that (FF 3.6)...Then again, I've used AdBlock Plus to block ads, and plenty else, so I don't see much Flash!

I'm using 3.6.15 with AdBlock plus too but the Flash really effects the performance of the browser and some sites make my FF to suck and almost die. Less said about guzzling the RAM and CPU utilization with those Flash sites. IMO, Flash must be discarded soon. Now don't jump on me by sticking "Apple Fan boy" label. Thanks!

Getting 16FPS with a PhenomII X4 N930, Radeon Mobility 5650 and SRWare Iron 9.0, as opposed to 1FPS without GPU acceleration.

38fps on firefox 4beta12 with amd 4250.

Updating drivers is uneasy when must of cheaper manufacturers have not updated websites. It is not an easy task recover from selecting an erroneous driver, so many users avoid this. Only gamers and IT professionals are in the habit of continuous updating.

Does 75% of web users even know what a driver is??? maybe firefox and chrome users are a little more educated but still.

Wait that means my Matrox G400 doesn't work?

Tried the beta, failed (100% GPU usage bug - HD5850) and rolled back to 3.6.15 (no problems with this version).

Updating GPU drivers would not help this glitch (Catalyst 11.1, too lazy to do 11.2 just yet not that it would have any effect on FF =/ ).

Just get Opera instead - you can disable Flash with one click, or set it to be on-demand.
