The real deal, not a release candidate of the beta. No release notes or changelog are available at this time.

Bawx Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 When I opened it and went to Neowin.net, it looked like this. Like the old Neowin, I want Maxthon to do this, but it won't!

Menge Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 this beta has a LONG way to go, still.... (looks like crap on Leopard) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/602010-firefox-30-beta-1/#findComment-589004846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 this beta has a LONG way to go, still....(looks like crap on Leopard) They're working on that. They're trying to make it integrate its looks more into the operating system it's installed on. When they do that, I'll download it.

Menge Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 they already started. that's why it looks crap. cause they started. but haven't yet finished ;) the toolbar is now unified. but it still doesn't paint in the proper shade of gray. the preferences dialog still doens't have the unified toolbar and the sizing is broken. places seems like a nice thing, though :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/602010-firefox-30-beta-1/#findComment-589004933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusValentine Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) So far, the only differences from 2.0 that I've seen are, it zooms the entire page instead of just the text. Under Tools, Add-ons, Plugins are now listed, which you can disable. Under Tools, Options... Applications, I think I see more apps listed. Otherwise it looks more like a version 2.1 than 3.0... Of course, there may be major changes under the hood. Oh, yes, and I forgot about the cooler FTP browser... Edited November 20, 2007 by Gus.

Of course, there may be major changes under the hood. Who decided that was a good idea? Did Microsoft or Mozilla even ask anyone who used the text zoom feature if that was better? If the text gets up to a size that's readable to me, I have to scroll sideways to read everything (yes, my eyes suck).

1Frothy Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 So where's the native UI? I'm running it under Vista and it still looks as gross as Firefox 2.x did.

1Frothy Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Wasn't Firefox 3 the major new / uber leet version of Firefox? I don't see anything much new and what is new hardly amounts to a whole version number change.

I don't see anything much new and what is new hardly amounts to a whole version number change. It's a new version of Gecko, there's Places, and the new style is coming. It is, despite what it seems at the beta stage, a big update.
