Apple Seeds First Betas of iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, and macOS Tahoe 26.1

Today I experienced my first problems after upgrading to Tahoe with Firefox..After booting nearly every site failed to load properly. I found problems with Ebay along with other sites. After deleting the AdBlock extension I was able to browse, but with Ebay I have to use a private window to add listings. Its obvious Firefox needs to release a new version as to extension developers

Please contain a ton of bug fixes and optimization, especially scrolling animation performance in safari and lists like mail and apple music. its so jittery and stuttery on 15 pro.

But if they don't add a bunch of form>function CPU/GPU hogging background features, how will they ever convince you to buy a new iPhone?

Nice attitude. NOT! Sounds so childish.

And how do you know these issues aren't related to the bugs in the program and not with Apple software/hardware?

Because I have debugged it for 3 nights and ruled out every single thing that can possibly cause it. It's a bug in the windowserver process. If you're a developer yourself and interested in the technical details, i can give a run down, but truthfully I have no desire to

I get that it’s polarizing, but, they are not going to do that.
Like it or not, liquid glass is their new design aesthetic.
You couldn’t just disable aqua, or just turn off Skeumorphism, or reverse the flatness of iOS 7.
Not sure why anyone would think liquid Glass is any different.

There was a time when I would have agreed with you. But that was the old Apple, where they were right, even when they weren't. This was Jobs and Ive's Apple, not Cook's. Cook, faced with potential losses, pivots. Series 0 didn't even make it as a fashion product (though now it sells a phone strap for 1/3 the price of a Watch SE). Photos.app and the lack of enthusiasm for Safari were also a sudden about-face, just to avoid hurting profits—because bad users make even worse shareholders. If our dissatisfaction is reflected in spreadsheets, some kind of undoing of this mess is certain.

I second this. And it’s not just this forum. It happens randomly on other forums too. But hoping this is fixed in this update.

It seems to have stopped on this forum at least for me now… I haven’t updated anything.

Edit: spoke too soon. It’s back to floating again. How odd.

> re: i’m a dev/test specialist.

Let me give you a specific problem to test, mr. test specialist.

Step 1: Open VSCode
Step 2: Open Activity Monitor
Step 3: Make sure the `GPU %` column is visible, add it to columns if hidden.
Step 4: Sort by `GPU %`, make sure the process `WindowServer` is visible (should be first in the list)
Step 5: Scroll the VSCode editor, observe the GPU% go to 50%+ for the `WindowServer` process

Now, mr dev/test specialist, try working a full day with scrolling in vscode and observe your laptop get to space heater temperatures, fans kicking in.

M1 Max btw

Use Emacs instead. Problem solved.

Steve’s apple reversed plenty of decisions as well, iMovie 2008 being a particularly memorable one.
Buttons on the iPod shuffle being another.

I'll never stop repeating it, this the WORST update ever. They broke the UI, again.
