SoapyHamHocks Member Posted June 12, 2010 Member Share Posted June 12, 2010 How stable is the bleeding edge minefield, is it likely to corrupt my profile? I suggest you use a separate one for minefield. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/9/#findComment-592744188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Heartripper Subscriber¹ Posted June 12, 2010 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 12, 2010 How stable is the bleeding edge minefield, is it likely to corrupt my profile? yes, it ruined my old profile, even though having sync installed, it wasn't a problem. It's better to use a new profile for minefield :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/9/#findComment-592744206 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObiWanToby Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 The tabs on top looks pretty good. Opaque mixed with transparent makes it look pretty nice.

Its so stable that it crashes not even once these days But yeah , i dont use many addons etc , so thats why i have less issues Do what above ppl are saying ,, thats best thing you can do...

PreKe Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 How does a browser test get impacted by the OS? OS X isn't HTML 5 compliant. It's the browser that matters: It's too bad that html5test.com doesn't just test HTML5. For example, Geolocation is part of the final score, but Geolocation is not part of HTML5.

Anyways , what i meant was you can expect good things in next build , if not always Your logic is still failing. there's no "guarantee" of more stable until beta, it's the very essence of a nightly/daily build. and even a beta can be treacherous. the only builds that are pretty much guaranteed to become more and more stable are RC's, and optimally you only want one of those if you did beta correct.

+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted June 13, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted June 13, 2010 Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 is scheduled to be out on June 24th. I don't know if it is ready or not. I would rather it not be rushed, seeing that the release is not due until the 4th. quarter. I do not care for the Bookmark Toolbar not being Glass. It was until today's build. The only way I know of to get it glassed would be to download the June 11th Build. I just went back to using a Persona.
