FormPix Studio v0.11.39 – Performance and Firefox Improvements

This release introduces significant performance improvements, especially when opening FormPix Studio and using the QR Code Studio.

The startup process has been optimized so that the FormPix Studio interface can be displayed and become responsive much faster. Previously, the application generated a large number of QR code previews during initialization, which could delay the display of the interface, particularly on lower-end computers.

QR Code Studio now uses progressive background-style generation. The collection of 1,000 QR code styles is prepared in smaller batches while allowing the browser interface to remain responsive. QR preview rendering has also been optimized to avoid unnecessary high-resolution processing for small thumbnails.

This approach significantly reduces the amount of work performed during the initial loading phase and improves the experience on computers with limited CPU and memory resources.

This release also includes Firefox-specific compatibility improvements. Chrome-specific Side Panel API calls have been removed from the Firefox build, and the extension now relies on the appropriate Firefox sidebar implementation.

Additional internal improvements have been made to the Website Audit interface, including safer DOM construction methods and removal of unnecessary dynamic HTML assignments.

Main changes:

Faster FormPix Studio startup.
Improved responsiveness when opening the sidebar.
Progressive generation of the 1,000 QR code style previews.
Reduced CPU workload during QR preview generation.
Optimized QR thumbnail rendering.
Better performance on computers with limited memory or processing power.
Improved Firefox sidebar compatibility.
Removal of Chrome-specific Side Panel API calls from the Firefox build.
Safer DOM generation in the Website Audit interface.
