Agenda
New Mobile plans
- Going to write the front end in java
- Loose e10s, only one process. Java runs in one thread, gecko in the other. No IPC. Basic XUL windows that proxies event with gecko. Integration with the system bookmarks.
- Competitive advantage? Improving performance to increase user rentention.
- Wait until native UI patch land before we decide if we want to enable OGL.
- Build avaiable on the Birch branch.
- pcwalton's change render the page to a texture. This will not work so well for scrolling pages with multiple layers. What will position fixed look like?
- Zooming is bad because we reflow the page every increment. Instead we can simply scale a texture during zooming.
- Idea for improvements:
- Off main thread composition
- Skia rasterizer
Azure-Thebes Wrapper
- It works, with some bugs, and no awesome perf.
- Pref 'gfx.azure.content.enable' on gfx branch
