LightShadow Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 When you get it, can anyone report back with what's it like. And if they fixed the App Menu already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly do you want to know? The Firefox Menu seems to still be missing loads of options, and looks odd where it's connected to the window. If you've used the latest nightlies I'm sure this isn't much different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I really wanted to know :) Thanks. But not getting this. It's a BETA and Mozilla still has not fixed funcionatiity. I like Firefox, but in Chrome. It has most of it's UI options implemented by the time it hits DEV and BETA. Not likely putting them in a few builds before official. Same with Opera. They had most of there menus in the App Button working in the Alpha. Wish Mozilla would have put that in before releasing it, having to use ALT to get to the other menus, and if you permently show the Menu Bar, it turns off the App Button :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the UI is still to come. Not sure what chrome having small UI changes in has to do with this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natsu1305 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Is this build1 or build2 of beta1? I remember downloading build1, which was then redirecting to the wiki, then build2 was out (kind of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted July 7, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted July 7, 2010 Beta 1 just got announced as official on the Mozilla twitter - installing now :) Might as well try it out. The nightly builds are far superior and stable. App Tabs sort of work but not at 100%. I am just glad that this was not a bogus Beta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon H Supervisor Posted July 7, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted July 7, 2010 When you get it, can anyone report back with what's it like. And if they fixed the App Menu already! no, true menu UI will come later, nothing new in beta, it doesn't even have app tabs the only extra thing it has is a send feedback button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted July 7, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 7, 2010 Good news everybody, retained layer builds scroll faster than SRWare Iron. Ideally they should scroll faster/smoother than any other browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyosuken Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Using the mac os beta 1 here... tabs on top is ugly, the normal layout works better, overall it's slick though much better than ffox 3.x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bioran Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Some lag with Aero Snap over here, but generally a pretty solid and good release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted July 7, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 7, 2010 Ok, TabCandy is awesome. When hardware accelerated Layers lands it should be even more awesome, at the moment moving in and out of tabs is a bit "stuttery". Edit: And obviously, being an Alpha it's buggy, I'm getting random windows and random mode switching when opening/closing tabs and moving tabs around.

Udedenkz Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Ideally they should scroll faster/smoother than any other browser. It is not just that scrolling is very nice, pages load faster too. Neowin loads in what seems to be under half a second (on my netbook); I think it is time for new potato gun video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
