112 Stable

  • Enabled more security for emailTP,emailTPPrivate streams (from upstream)
  • Enabled WebAudio autoplay by default. Chromium and Firefox both have this blocked. I enabled it in Thorium and now here. This is useful because it is VERY rare for a site to use webaudio (via tone.js for example) to make intrusive or annoying stuff. I keep autoplay blocking enabled for everything else. But this lets stuff work correctly, for example the thorium dino game > https://thorium.rocks/games/dino/ Without this patch, you will not hear the music. Try the page in vanilla Chrome/Chromium or Firefox, and then try it in Mercury/Thorium, you will hear background music in the latter.
  • Fixed Windows installer parameters.
  • Added mk_add_options MOZ_OPTIMIZE=1 to the mozconfigs, which should (theoretically) enable more performance optimizations.

3rd Public Release - Linux and Windows - v.111.0.2

  • Stable build. All releases going forward will be based on stable Firefox, just like Thorium is now based on stable Chromium.
  • Enabled JPEG-XL by default
  • Enabled Widevine by default
  • Reduced padding in the search bar
  • Completely removed telemetry

Note: Haven't figured out how to make a .deb installer for Linux yet, but I have figured out how to make an .exe installer for Windows.

  • Fixed windows.exe nsBranding.cpp
  • Re-added mercury logo copyright text in about dialog
  • Added jpeg-xl
  • Added WASM optimizations

NOTE: This release does NOT use PGO optimizations, because it was causing build errors on windows. Will investigate later.

  • mozconfig updated
  • branding dir updated
  • about:settings bug fixed

For Linux x64 only. Should run on just about any desktop distro. Requirements are the same as Firefox > https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/108.0.2/system-requirements/

Performance is not as high as I would like, but it is still faster than vanilla firefox.
