Saying 'slow', I'm comparing ff with other browsers on Windows (or other platforms), also with ff on other platforms.
Please take a look at the following links: http://coolwanglu.github.com/pdf2htmlEX/demo/geneve.html http://coolwanglu.github.com/pdf2htmlEX/demo/cheat.html They would freeze Firefox+Windows, but not other browsers or platforms. My environment is FF 15 + Win 7. They are HTML files generated from PDF files, and are full of absolute positioned <div>'s. I had thought that browsers would be happy with absolute positioning, as there's no need to determine the coordinates/metrics, but in fact it's quite slow. Except for FF+Win, the links are at least working, or even smoothly on FF+Linux (which is on the machine as FF+Win). On windows, FF renders the pages correctly and beautifully (with aa of fonts), but too slow to response. On the other hand, Chrome is faster, but the fonts are rendered terribly. Seem that layout engines is often ignores in the war of browsers, but I wonder if Firefox has any plan related to this? _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
