Honestly, you get used to it.

I say this just from watching game streams at 60 FPS, at first it looks like it's faster it should be somehow, but soon enough it just becomes normal and you wonder how you put up with low FPS streams.

The adjustment period might be a bit longer with film, but it'll happen eventually.

Hopefully id get all their old games up on that list soon, they put in a lot of effort over the years when not many others were, a shame that changed recently though.

Was just looking at the Quake 3 demo and noticed the FPS was locked to 60. Wondering if this is a limitation of the demo or of the browser (FF nightly in my case).

If so that may turn out to be a bit short sighted in the long term.

I never shut down my PC (Basically always use sleep/hibernate) and have it running for weeks at a time with the only issue being Firefox freezing up now and again.

I'd suggest the problem is with your laptop.

Bethesda killed their licensing, it's in-house only now.

I could have seen this being unrelated and just a UX polishing touch, but then they didn't think to put it on the other versions of the site to at least try and make it less suspicious.

Pushing past the limits of acceptability now, they should face some fairly serious punishment for this.

I think the only UI features I regularly use are the Firefox button and the URL bar.

Everything else has been replaced either by hardware buttons (back/forward/scrolling/new tab) or by extensions (reload with mouse gestures etc.)

As has already been said the use of the scroll bar especially seems odd to me, I'd have thought middle clicking would have nearly killed it off.
