Re: [tor-talk] Tor Browser Bundle 3.0alpha1 test builds
Hi Mike,
Sorry, I forgot to write that I was able to use TBB when I added those two lines [0] to prefs.js, _without_ TBB running in XP SP3 compatibility mode.

P.S. Sorry for top-posting, but otherwise I would have to wait at least 10-15 minutes for the e-mail I sent the list (~1 minute ago) to reach my in-box, and I'm ready for bed . . .

Ok, people on liberation-tech are reporting that they can run the bundle
if they right-click on it and go to "Properties->Compatibilty->Run in
Windows XP Compatibility mode."
If 'Compatibility Mode' works, While in compatibility mode, can you try
setting one or both of these to 'true' in about:config:
gfx.direct2d.disabled
layers.acceleration.disabled
Then try without XP compatibility mode, and see if one or both allow you
to run without crashes?
It also looks like Mozilla hit a similar bug some years ago, and
maintains a blacklist of bad D2D drivers to disable D2D for:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595364
I wonder if we somehow didn't pick up their D2D driver blacklist in this
build...
