Yep. Also my flash plugin no longer works.
I'm getting this issue as well, with the beta and nightly. If someone has a rooted device, could they please provide a logcat it will help the bug report on bugzilla. EDIT: No longer needed
I can confirm this. Nightly and beta.
Same here
Firefor as well as Firefox beta do no longer work under Android 4.2. When a web page is requested FF crashes.
Clearing data doesn't help

I can confirm that hte problem persists after wiping data.
This bug has already been logged in bugzilla, the developer will fix it soon have patience.
wait, flash doesn't work on 4.2? like, at all? on another browsers???
This is now fixed in Firefox Beta (17 b6 build 2) on the market (along with nightly and aurora builds). Unless Mozilla decide to do a chemspill release, it won't be fixed in Firefox stable until 17 becomes stable. Fortunately, 17 is to be released as stable next Tuesday (20th of November).

Thank FOOK for that. Without a decent browser the N7 is rendered 80% useless.
Firefox Beta works well with 4.2 but personally Chrome rocks for me.
I switched from FF to Xscope, it seems much faster. I do use FF at work, so may go back if it improves. All the browser issues seem related to flash. Fixed Scope by changing flash to "on demand".

what is the difference between nightly and stable??

You basically just said it.
Nightly- not stable and each one builds upon the other and fixes bugs
Stable- completely working, bugs fixed, no problems besides user error

Interestingly, with CM7, the nighties are themselves, very very capable and remarkably stable. Definitely stable enough to be most people's daily driver.
I run nightlues all the time and they are very stable. Much better than rls1 ever was. A full stable should be coming soon though.

Like the people above me said, Nightlies are compiled every night (usually) and aren't considered by Team Douche to be "stable." Oh, and if you file a bug report about something in a Nightly, expect to be burned at the stake.
RC's are a tad more stable than Nightlies (typically) and while they don't include the latest-and-greatest features all the time (ie, RC1 is now outdated and doesn't have WiMAX or the battery percentage in the status bar), you can file bug reports about them and they'll usually get solved.
Stables are just what their name says: Stable. There's rarely any major bugs in them, and when bugs are discovered, a bug report can be filed, and assuming it's not an 1D10T error, gets fixed, and integrated into the next Nightly/RC/Stable, or they'll just make a .1 release (ie, 7.0.0 to 7.0.1 and so on).
Right now though, CM is in feature freeze, so all that's going into Nightlies right now are bugfixes (for example, the WiMAX code for EVO broke a bunch of other phones in weird ways, and the Nexus One has a "wonky" bug). We'll probably see RC2 in a week or two, and then 7.0.0 stable within a month.
Which one is better. Can make up my mind. Happy Easter.
Go for nightly 54. Haven't used my phone much...92% and about 6.5hrs on battery life.
Been riding the Stable for a while. The talk following the immediate nightlies thereafter put me on hold, figure I'll wait it out until drastic changes / additions start happening.
Seems like said issues have been addressed and / or a fix is available. Stable has been running great for me, using Tiamat, and haven't really had a reason to move on.
So long as you avoid the 'bad ones' you should be good.
do you not know the difference, or are you asking what are the benifits of the newest nightly over stable? if so, here's the changelog. http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic . happy easter

Use Nightly 54
I have been loving Nightly 54 with gps-test.zip to fix Google Maps. Everything has been running smoother than Stable, good luck!
stable 7.0.1 is out.
It seems I can't post in the dev forum yet, so I'll start here. I'd like to download the Gedemis ROM 1.55. I've seen references to it by version, but the downloads appear to be by date. My best guess is 6/3, but there's even two of those. Anybody able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
You want this one.

Why would you want an old version? I'm using the one just before the most recent release and haven't had a single issue. WiFi works well, Netflix works, all my apps work. Wasn't 1.55 kinda buggy and missing stuff?
why 1.55
I've had problems with 1.6 and 1.65 with Firefox Beta 14.0. It livelocks as soon as it tries to download a web page (consumes 100% CPU until the battery dies). Going back to 1.55 fixed it for me.
1.6 and 1.65 are the latest builds and they have linario custimaztions that some users have problems with, particularly netflix. 1.55 seems to be the most stable of his latest releases for the casual user.
elease early, release often. Today, we’re introducing Chrome Beta channel for phones and tablets on Android 4.0+. The Beta channel was launched in the early days of Chrome to test out new features and fix issues fast. Our newest Beta channel for phones and tablets now joins our Beta versions of Chrome for Mac, Windows, Linux and Chrome OS.
You can expect early access to new features (and bugs!), as well as a chance to provide feedback on what’s on the way. Just like our other Beta versions, the new features may be a little rough around the edges, but we’ll be pushing periodic updates so you can test out our latest work as soon as it’s ready. Even better, you can install the Beta alongside your current version of Chrome for Android.
Chrome for Android now benefits from all the speed, security and other improvements that have been landing on Chrome’s other platforms. For example, in today’s Beta update we have improved the Octane performance benchmark on average by 25-30%. In addition, this update includes interesting HTML5 features for developers such as CSS Filters. This is just one step of many towards bringing beautiful experiences to the mobile web.
Ready? Use it, abuse it, and tell us what you think. Our new Chrome Beta for Android is available now on Google Play (use the link, you won't find it in search)!

Difference is that Chrome Beta has newer features than Chrome on the Play Store.
Download Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta
... Personally I prefer the newest & latest stuff so I will be replacing Chrome with Chrome Beta on my N4. Posting for awareness.
Looking forward to try this out once I get home

Hopefully it will have more performance increases Google Blog said that you have to install it via the Play Store website otherwise you won't find it on the Play store. It probably does have increases as it does say it increases benchmarks.

Doesn't hurt to try I'm sure that eventually, it will get to the stage of stability as the AOSP Browser.
Try using www.theverge.com, IMO ASOP is still smoother, I now this is beta, but seriously Google please do not release Chrome v25 and still be less smooth than stock browser.
I like all the features, and it's nice that has better benchmark scores, but it's still kinda laggy/stuttery while scrolling. Not buttery smooth like AOSP Browser or Dolphin Beta.

Well that's the whole point of Beta.
Chrome Stable (how it was before today)
Chrome Beta (how it is today)
I personally don't feel any lag on Chrome and feels as smooth as AOSP browser. I never felt any lag on Chrome, but I do like AOSP Browser simply because it's Holo themed.
Is it just me or have they changed the page formatting for the beta? One thing I've always like about Chrome on Android is that pages are rendered and formatted so that text is nice and legible by default without having to zoom in all the time.
With this beta, page rendering seems to mirror AOSP and other browsers now. The same web site doesn't display the same in stable and beta.
Attached screenshots to show what I mean
just tried and still as disappointing as ever. won't use until smoothness is at least as buttery as aosp browser
So far, Chrome beta works perfectly, no input lag, scrolls nice and fast and smooth. Stock ROM, rooted, Franco v30 kernel.

I just tried it using the desktop verge and it seems to be significantly smoother. But, use chrome only as my second browser. [AOSP browser smoothness + full screen + quick controls = WIN!!] .
So, have replaced the std. chrome with chrome beta for now. I hope they add support for full screen and gesture controls. [ the current swipe from edge to switch tabs is quite diff to do one handed]
Been using it since last night, seems faster but there are still little niggles to it. But it's labeled beta so I can't complain. Just give it time and it will be as fast as chrome on Linux.
EDIT: Sorry, bit of a derp there. I meant as fast as it is on Ubuntu etc. Android is Linux Lol.

Sweet! I'm not going to worry about the minute performance hiccups. It's nice to know I'm on the latest and greatest.

There is currently kitkat roms but based on unofficial cyanogenmod so it's not stable and some things bugged in it.

aorp 4.4.2
this is a nice version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578719
Aorp rom 4.4.20
I installed this AORP ROM and it's working fine. You may have troubles with using browser, because it's pretty lagy and internet works very slow and often app browser chrashes. But if you use Chrome instead browser everything works fine and fast. When you reboot phone, you must wait some time, it reboots slowly. Other apps that I have tried are working ok.
I'm not gonna say that this ROM is definetivly stable, it's in beta stage, but for me was until now pretty ok.
I've posted some screenshots...

the browser lag? It is because of chrome webview right? because after using 4,4 on my n7 fhd, the browser is laggier than chrome.

I do not have installed both, browser and chrome. I've tried first the browser and was working slow and had lag. Then I installed chrome and was working ok, in meantime had installed browser and was nothing to see of lag in chrome. Then I uninstalled browser and have just chrome. As you can see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578719&page=8, the troubles with browser are apparently bug in rom.

what i meant was in kitkat, besides eliminating total flash support, google also removed the outdated webkit browsing engine and replaced it with the newer chromium engine. However, this causes performance issues with most browsers except google chrome,obviously. Basically, the aosp browser and others that we loved has been rendered unusable in kitkat. The lag is not caused by having both browsers, it happens because the changes google make to the OS itself.

Sorry, didn't right understand you before. It seems to be so. Before kitkat was no problem with browser.
All of the current releases are base of mikes LegacyXperia nightlies and the only one that is based on the latest release is Halley by HeadFox. ALL of the others are using earlier releases!!!
I'm personally using the latest nightlie from mike, which is from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545354
He's not advertising the releases or updating the thread because he got royally p****d off with people abusing the XDA rules and using a development thread for stupid questions rather than just reading the OP....
Anyway, I've found the releases from him to be the most stable and battery friendly of all the 4.4 releases so far. For the browser issue I just use Opera mini (which I've used for a long time anyway) , there are no random reboots so far, I can get a 12hr shift from one charge, and that is with me sending @10 sms and 3 or so hours on the internet.
I came from SJB8 and I can say that I will not be returning to it!! If the 4.4 I'm using is a beta then a full stable release will be able to make me a coffee when I wake up in the morning too!!!! It's so far advanced from beta in my eyes that I see it as a stable release.....
However, do a backup of your current install and give 4.4 a spin. The only real way to find out if it suits you is for you to try it

i try omni rom beta #1.. smooth but i cant capture video..and known bug is glicher on some screen..may be you will try it :laugh:
I've also tried cm-11.0-20131225-NIGHTLY-LegacyXperia-anzu ROM and it's working fine for me in 2 days. Problem I have found until yet was with browser, the same as in AORP. Now I have tried with Opera Mini browser and it's working without troubles. Until now was this ROM ok and stable for me.
I tried the Comet Halley 4.4.2 rom like 4 or 5 days ago, but it was generally laggy, so I switched to the AORP.
Better performance, much less laggy (but it's still laggy sometimes), also the google search is kinda bugged and, sometimes, when you are scrolling through search results, will block the entire phone for 0.5 - 1 second every now and then.
Reboot works fine (really FAST), reboot into recovery probably doesn't work (blocks the phone, so I always end up removing the battery).
Everything until now was tested with smartassv2, sio, 240-1400 Mhz
in my option is stable rom for now AORP im using this rom about 6 days and runs very good laggy sometimes battery drain is very good try AORP if you dont like it you can test right now is pretty good roms- AOKP kitkat carbonrom kitkat or default CM11 by mike
