[sajcho]

Hi all.
I don’t know if I’m the first or the last.
Today I managed to compile Firefox version 112.0.

Do you have javascript JIT working?

Arch has 112, but running octane shows that it’s definitely not JIT’d, despite this version of Firefox should have the support.

Hi rvalles.

Best regards.

Mine looks about the same.

Yet if I run octane, I get a shitty score:

Octane 2.0 JavaScript Benchmark

For contrast, here’s chromium on the same system:

I’m sorry for the late reply. I’m not better off.

Does this version support WebGPU?
I had Firefox 112 running on my Gentoo VisionFive 2 but removed it and would need to emerge it again to test.

In Firefox, “dom.webgpu.enabled” setting is provided to enable WebGPU in about: config. In addition to rendering CanvasContext, it also requires the inclusion of the WebRender composition system (“gfx.webrender.all” in about: config).

It’s there - “but”, when I enable it firefox crashes.

Here is what I see with Firefox 13 running under Gentoo on my Visionfive2

Hi rvalles，
I don’t understand your contrast. what’s difference condition between “Octance Score: 113” and “Octance Score: 3169” .

Firefox vs Chrome.

AIUI this is out of date information, and somebody here managed to get Firefox working with JS JIT.

I have not tested it.
