This is a bugfix point release to address serious performance bottlenecks and general run-time issues (UI slowness, crashes, hangs) with the browser. Once again this impacted 32-bit operating systems more severely than 64-bit ones due to its more limited address space that would get flooded with bogus data.
Changes/fixes:
- Backed out a Mozilla upstream patch causing issues with IPC and texture allocation for the compositor.
- Backed out a Mozilla upstream patch causing issues with Javascript memory buffer allocation.
Linux versions will follow shortly.
