So thats new.. Installing these makes my monitor turn off in the middle of installation, and it will not come back on no matter what I do. Well that is, until I hit the reset button on my computer. But after it boots back up it does seem to be running the new drivers.. but thats never happened before.
 
84116 and 82788 are surely the same bug?

Good to see compass issue fixed in FO4. Hoping these are stable.
 
I'm just glad that they seemed to have fixed the bugs with the installer showing jumbled text and taking forever to install.
 
Oh and the horizontal tearing when scrolling in firefox is back.

To elaborate, when scrolling any page in firefox with the mouse wheel, there is horizontal tearing, normally half way up, or towards the top of the window. And I had, and I guess still have, no idea if the problem is firefox itself, or the windows drivers. Apparently its a mixture of both?

When I updated to the 64 bit version of firefox recently it seemed to go away. But now updating my video driver its back? So who knows. But its really annoying.

I have same bug with official drivers under Windows 10. It is fine with Windows 7.
 
Anyone with multi-monitors know if the settings are fixed? With the original Crimson, the only way to get a multiple displays active was to use the Windows Display Settings (at least for me it was) and then trying to find Eyefinity or other mutli-monitor settings in Crimson was MIA.

I'm still using Catalyst drivers for now.

Spot on. I thought it was just me but there is definite tearing when scrolling. I use the 64 bit version and 15.12 drivers. It is very annoying, so much so I exported my favourites to Edge (what a pain that was) and am going to use that until firefox is fixed.

As well as tearing firefox will freeze for a moment before doing anything. Hopefully they sort it out soon.

I've found that, whenever Firefox gets updated, it's necessary to get FlashPlayer updated as well.

Not seeing it here. I wonder if it's for 1440 monitors?

Thanks V1per for filling in the missing info. After several months of waiting for a real win10 driver to fix Elite: Dangerous I just had to try them... and it's working great.

So far my only complaint is eyefinity issues.
1) although easy to get going with the radeon software quick setup, I'd really like a hotkey combo to switch between eyefinity, single and extended modes.
1a) And just to rub it in, I have Elite set to start in eyefinity mode, which doesn't work, i.e. it stays in the current display mode instead of switching. The hotkey was really handy in these situations.
2) you can set the main screen to have the taskbar/system tray but it forgets that after a restart, until you run the "additional settings".

I'm running Firefox x64 DE and I get no tearing at all, gpu acceleration on. I haven't seen that issue in Firefox since I quit using the 32-bit version long ago. Highly recommend Ff x64 DE. Don't use anything else.
