OdinMonkey optimization for JavaScript and WebRTC enabled by default

Earlier today we reported that Mozilla had readied the stable version for Firefox 22 for the general public, although unofficially. At the moment, the company has released the new revision officially and has begun pushing it to users.

It is available for all supported desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, and Linux), and it looks like the development team did not have too much trouble rolling it out, as Firefox 22 stable has the exact same release notes as the beta revision.

All major components for WebRTC are now supported by default, which includes PeerConnection (audio and video streams between browsers) and DataChannels (exchange of arbitrary data such as text or photo sharing).

Also on the list is the availability of OdinMonkey optimization module for JavaScript and handling of social services from the Add-ons manager. Furthermore, Firefox 22 supports changing the playback rate for HTML5 audio and video.

Some issues have also been solved, significant in this regard being scrolling with some high-resolution-scroll aware touchpads, which had been reported to be carried out a bit slow.

One known problem still remains in this release, though; it is a long-lasting glitch that causes the browser to crash when trying to start it with a locked profile.
